The Drv' Goods Trade. —This i 3 one of
the most important branches of trade in Au
gusta. Not only docs the country within a
given radius seek this market, but the name
and fame of tiic great Dry Goods House of
Messrs. Gray, Mullarkey & Co., have spread
the entire Slate and a goodly portion ot
Cr<n jffcrr*, sittrof cuntomcr?
gather. Hiviugbecu iu the trade from their
youth up, these gentlemen arc fully informed
as to all the various modes and manner of con’
ducting the extensive business of their estab
lishment, the vastness and details of which arc
calculated to bewilder and astonish one not ac
customed by education and training to feel the
absolute necessity of studying tlie philosophy
of traSe and to deduce from experience every
kWon taught by current events.
Learning the dry goods business is attended
with the practice of all the labor, patience and
research that is requisite to the acquirement of
any of the mechanic arts or the learned profes
sions. We do not mean to say that there must
be text books, certain hours of study, set
limes for recitations, and all that, but we do
mean to aillrm that a youth must be “ brought
up to the business." Ho must feel that his
business is an honorable one and not merely a '
stepping stone to position in society, or a vul- 1
gar means of acquiring wealth which, after the
object is gained, is to be looked down upon
with contempt, or referred to with a blush ot
false shame mantling the cheek.
Tiie members of the firm of Gray, Mullarky ,
A Co. have no other worldly ambition than ,
I
that their house shall be known throughout the ,
country as a reliable, first-class dry goods es- (
iablishment—for this they have labored and
toiled, and this is their just boast. They know |
when, where and how to buy. They by a (
thorough knowledge of the wants of the com- ]
munity iu which one of the firm has transacted ,
business for twenty years, have always, in the
proper season, the goods adapted to the exi
gency. In constant communication with all
Importing cities of the country, and being rep- i
resented at all times iu either one or the other
of these cities by one of their house, every ,
advantage is taken Os the fluctuation of the ,
wholesale markets there and the necessities‘of ,
holders of large slocks, who at times must
realize.
While recognizing with pride the high-toned
bearing and industrious enterprise of our dry
goods merchants as a class, we could but feel
constrained to speak of the house relerred to
in the manner we have, by long acquaintance
and intimate association with the proprietors.
Augusta Free School. —The exercises of
this old and valued institution, under the su
pervision of Mr. Martin V. Calvin, Principal oi
the boys’ department, and Mrs. Josephine
Jones, Principal of the girls’department, will
be resumed to-morrow (Monday) morning at
nine o'clock.
The boys and girls will of course be punc
tual in attendance.
Prof. Bernhardt. —This distinguished op
ticau, whose success in our city has. been tri
umphant is compelled, by engagements in other
parts of the South, to draw his sojourn to a
cloSb. lie announces that his stay iu our midst
will not be protracted beyond Thursday next.
During the brief interval remaining, those who
have not sought his aid should do so at once.
The opportunity now offered may never be
again vouchsafed, and us an improved vision is
oue of tiie greatest blessings of life, a neglect
of the present may cause regrets for all future
time. The following is one of the many testi
monials received by the Professor during his
stay with us :
Augusta, Ga., January 4,1867.
1 take great pleasure in saying that the gldßs
eS l have obtained from Prof. M. Bernhardt
have given me every satisfaction. 1 verily be
lieve them far superior to any I have used be
fore. J. F. Kerbv,
Catholic Priest.
Will positively leave Thursday morning, the
10th, and ean be seen until Wednesday, at 4, p.
in.
The great remedy of the day is unquestiona
bly Perry Davis’ Pain Killer, tor the in6taut
relief of all pains, scalds, bruises, &e., and for
pains in the stomach and bowels, it is used with
encouraging success; in sudden attacks of
Cholera and cholera moi bus. No family should

Mb. and Mrs. Watkins.—We have not 60
_ frequently referred to these talented dramatic
artistes during the past week, as the unprece
dented patronage which they have received
from their many admirers might seem to war
rant. The duties of our position have prevent
- us from witnessing their life-like delinea
tions as often as we have desired, but our
frieuds are, to use a homely phrase, perfectly
. “ carried away” with Mrs. Watkins. With a
i graceful figure, which, for the nonce, is the
s counterfeit presentment of the character rep
r resented—a countenance naturally pleasing and
® interesting, and over which the artiste has the
" most wonderful control—this lady cannot fail
I to please. But that which impresses us most
. the “soul”—the abandon, inseparable lrom
t this actress iu whatever role she appears. No
a one devoid of a fertile imagination, or an ex
uberant fancy and not possessed of a noble
heart, susceptible of the purest feelings, could
so portray the good and beautiful, and extort
such tributes to virtuous sentiment as night
after night have greeted her efforts at Concert
Hall.
Mr. W. and his unexceptionable troupe ac
cord to Mrs. Watkins an astonishingly wonder
ful support. Every little detail —perhaps insig
nificant iu itself—receives the proper attention,
thus contributing amazingly to the general ef
fect.
Our citizens will be pleased to learn that, at
I the urgent request of many citizens, Mr. Wat
kins has concluded to remain another week in
this city.
1 The Fire at Vaucluse. —Yesterday we
briefly announced the burning of the Vaucluse
Cotton Factory, which was totally destroyed
by fire on the night of the 3rd inst.
The fire was lirst discovered by the watch
men, in the fifth story. By the time the alarm
1 was given—the entire fifth floor—attic and roof
were in flames. In a few minutes the entire
building was on Are.
The miHf machinery, &c., are entirely de
stroyed.
The factory was a granite building, five
stories high, eighty feet long, forty feet wide,
situated on House Creek, about three and a
half miles above Granitcville, 8. C.
This mill had a capacity of four thousand
i spindles, manufacturing fine yarns and cloth,
• and had but recently been refitted, new ma
chinery added and put in complete order, at a
large out-lay of money.
The mill was owned by Messrs. James J.
Gregg, and Wm. Gregg, Jr.
About one hundred and thirty-five hands were
employed, who are by this catastrophe, depriv
ed of the means of providing for their families.
We learn that three hundred and fifty people
are left entirely dependent by this calamity.
There was about 8IK),000 insurance on the
building and machinery, which is mostly in
Northern companies.
Election for Judge.— The returns from
the different counties come in very slowly. We
are enabled, however, to make the following
exhibit of the majorities for each candidate:
Gibson. Hook.
Richmond 307
Columbia 23
Burke 03
Jefferson 50
Washington 103
Screven 25
p 330 241
The above is benoved to be correct, though
not official. It will be seen that Judge Ilook
has a majority of eighty-nine to overcome
while there are only two counties yet to hear
from—Emanuel and Johnson. Last night we
saw, by private letter, that two precincts in
Emanuel had given Col. Gibson a majority of
fifteen, and that one precinct in Johnson
(Glim Log) gave him a majoriiy of twenty
five. These partial returns increase the ma
jority for Col Gibson to 139, which it is hardly
possible to neutralize in the localities yet to be
heard from.
Constable Election.— Iu the 120th District,
G. M., (2d Ward) the vote is as follows :
L. L. Anthony 73 ) E1 . d
Josh Dean 63 S Llccted.
J. E. Tout 58
P. Sbarky 47
In the 122 d District, tlst Ward) VV. W. King
and J. B. Ramsey were elected, the former re
ceiving 83 and the latter 81 votes. There was
no opposition.
In the 398th District, G. M., (3d Ward) J. 11.
Ncibling nud Jesse Turpiu were elected with- ‘
out opposition.
Sewing Machines. —Those desiring to pur
chase or to have sewing machines repaired, j
should give Mr. Jerome a call. He is located ,
at the Augusta Hotel. Read his advertisement. <
Uncalled for Telegrams. —Ellis, Clothier,
Maude <& Wright. *
Stamps on Marriage Certificates. —The
Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
decided that a marriage certificate, issued by
Hie town clerk in compliance wirh the statute
law, and for public ns well as private purposes,
and used, not only as a marriage license, but
also for town and State records, does not re
quire a stamp when used by the clerk ; but the
certificate of the clergyman or magistrate who
perform the marriage ceremony should have a
five cent stamp.
Great indignation is expressed in Richmond,
Virginia, that Judge Underwood should be al
lowed to hold the office of District Judge while
lie is at the same time Senator elect from the
State. It is the subverson of an express article
of the Constitution. He lias for the past two
years been using tiie franking privilege as Sena
tor without a shadow of right, and the people
demand that he shall be held to a strict accounta
bility for this breach of the privileges of a mem
ber of Congress.
A Florida Dairy.—A Northern cotton
planter iu Florida speaks of having had a dairy n
of three cows this summer, and they made a
pound of butter a week, besides having some
cream for coffee. This is what it is to live in a
country without grass. A Maine farmer speaks
of .having one cow from which two pounds of
butter were made every day through the sum
mer. This is what it is to live in a country
where there is grass.
The largest hay crop on record is oue reported
to have been raised in St. Jolinsbury, Vt., last
year. An acre and a half of poor (?) land pro
duced thirteen and a half tons of fine Timothy
hay. Farmers ought not to tell fish stories (so
called.)
Gubernatorial.— The Hon. Thomas Harde
man and General Gartrell have been named as
candidates for Governor of Georgia.
Fenianism. —The Toronto Leader , in com
menting upon the Sweetsburgs trials, says :
“Tiie jurors failed to convict upon the clearest
evidence, and a plain failure ol justice has oc
curred ill most ol the cases. The three Fe
nians sentenced to death at Sweetsburg will
probably share the late of those at Toronto, to
whom it is believed the royal clemency will be
extended, notwithstanding Roberts hoped to
force us to hang them.”
The Lumber Trade in Minnesota.— The
St. Paul Press publishes a statement showing
that forty-five million feet of logs and fifty-two
million feet of lumber were run out ou St.
Croix river last year. The quantity estimated
to be out this winter is ninety millions. Lum
beaing in the woods is backward, from lack of
snow.
A Burlingtou paper says that the Fenian
leaders, to whom the government restored
the Springfield musket, seized in Vermont,
gave bonds not to use them against any nation
at peace with the United States. They will
keep the agreement to the letter, having already
exchanged the old muskets for breach loading
rifles.
Cincinnati “steam refined lard” is made from
carcasses of hogs that die without the butcher s

The Chicago Board of Trade don’t want the

Michigan at the end of tiie year had a balance

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.
Congressional.
Washington, January 5.
House. —Although to-day was devoted to
mere speech making, a discussiou between two
of the ablest and most prominent Republicans
which excited the closest attention.
Mr. Spaulding, of Ohio, entered into an
argument to show that the Soufhern States
adopting the Constitutional Amendment could
resume their Congressional representation
without further action ; in other words, restor
ation would be complete.
On a recent visit to Petersburg, Virginia,
gentlemen with whom he conversed, said the
adoption ol the Amendment by Southerners
would be a coudcinuation of their leaders ; but
if three-fourths of the States should ratify it no
opposition would be found in Virginia.
Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, obtained per
mission to state the substance of letters he had
received from North and South Carolina, in
which the writers expressed views similar to
those referred to in Petersburg.
Mr. Spaulding, resuming, warned his politi
cal friends not to insist on ultra measures ;
such as the impeachment of the President,
while Congress have a two-third power over
the action of the Executive. Such measures
would re-act on the Republican party. “ If,”
he added, “we find by the fortieth Congress
that the South do not ratify the Amendment
then let the gentleman from Pennsylvania call
up his bill for the reconstruction of the South
ern States.”
Mr. Steven 3 replied, combating Mr. Spauld
ing’s argument that, the ratittcatiou of the
Amendment was to be the final act. This
would leave the country open to an influx of
reconstructed rebels. The House and public
ought to know the gentleman had uttered the
most pernicious doctrine of rebel sympathisers.
To ask rebels to vote on the Amendment is to
stullify ourselves, for while we iu fact hold the
South as conquered provinces we recognize
them as loyal States, but we propose to regulate
these States ourselves by law.
Mr. Niblack, of Indiana, asked whether Mr.
Stevens aud his friends did not admit Tennes
see on the ground that she adopted the Con
stitutional Amendment, and whether the Radi
cal majority did not regard that as an evidence
ot her loyalty.
Mr. Stevens replied that the preamble to the j
bill admitting Tennessee, recited the good
things she had done, but she was not admitted !
on that ground alone.
Mr. Maynard, of Tennessee, inquired wheth
er the gentleman would not vote for the admis
sion of other Southern States, which would se
cure lreedraen in their civil rights, and exhibit
indisputable evidences of loyalty.
Mr. Stevens replied he would never vote for
the admission of any State which did not con
fer negro suffrage.
Mr. Maynard, said Tennessee had done as
much as Pennsylvania and other Northern
States had done. That State did not permit
negro suffrage.
Mr. Stevens replied, the remark was just aud
right. Pennsylvania, and other States ought to
blush for the infamous exclusion to which the
gentleman had referred. He did not doubt
Mr. Spaulding's Radicalism, but as with shrubs
his roots might not go down more than half an
inch or six inches. This remark created much
laughter, which Spaulding turned aside by say
ing, the less they talked about the roots the
better.
From Washington.
Washington, January 5.
The Senate is not in session. No business
was transacted in the House to-day, it having
been set apart exclusively for speech making.
The Republican Congressmen are holding a
caucus to-night to agree on the future course
respecting important public measures.
President Johnson and other prominent per
sonages have promised to be present at the
banquet celebration of the anniversary of the
battle ol New Orleans.
The Republican members of the House of
Representatives held a caucus at the capitol to
night. About sixty Representatives were pres
ent. Spaulding, of Ohio, offered a resolution
that no measure looking toward the impeach
ment of the President of the United States
should be presented in the House unless pre
viously agreed upon by a caucus. This was
amended by providing that before any final
action by the caucus the subject should be re
ferred to the Committee on Judiciary.
Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, moved an amendment
that no articles of impeachment should be pre
ferred without first being considered by a cau
cus. Tins was adopted.
Mr». Stevens moved that the whole subject be
laid upon the table. The question was deter
mined in the negative by a vote of nearly two
to one. The original resolution, as amended,
was agreed to by a large majority. There was
much incidental debate between Bingham,
Stevens and others, on the legal question in
volvtd, namely: Whether an impeachment
could be partly tried by the Senate of t. e 39th
Congr.ss; also, whether the. House of Repre
sentatives of the 30th Congress could prefer
articles of impeachment to be tried by the Sen
ate of the 40th Congress ; or whether, should ar
ticles ot impcachincnt be now preferred aim not
concluded at the expiration of the present Con
cress, they would have to be renewed in the
40ih Congro. s.
Mr. Stevens took the ground that the Senate
did not expire with the Congress, on the 4th
ot March next, it being a perpetual body.
Mr. Bingham replied, arguing that as one
third of the present Senators would go out on
the 4th of March, the President could not after
ward contain to be tried by a Senate, composed
of one-third new members on articles partially
tried by the preceding Senate.
The debate between these gentlemen was ex
tremely spirited, Bingham speaking in his
usually impulsive style, and Mr. Stevens ex
hibiting a corresponding decree of earnestness.
They became person il in their remarks. The
caucus, however, was in the main harmonious.
There appeared to fie generally a disposition to
vote for any iuquiry info the matter as to
whether the President should lie impeached
while a large number were of opinion that the
President ought to he impeached.
Mr. Bingham made the point that articles of
impeachment for the reason he had previously
stated should not be preferred during the pres
ent Congress for want of time ; and reminded
the gentlemen that the trial of Warren Hast
ings lasted seven years. The caucus after about
two hours session adjourned.
The Secretary of the Interior has received a
report that another section of thirty-live miles
of the Union Pacific Railroad is completed and
ready for service.
From St. Foms.
St. Louis, January 5.
Gov. Fletcher’s message gives a glowing ac
count of the fiuaueial affairs of the State. In
closing he says: “I am enabled to give to
yon and to send to our creditors abroad a New
Year’s greeting, in the announcement which I
make with serious confidence that free Mis
souri will within the year redeem the plighted
1 faith of slave Missouri.
A St. Louis special says that notwithstanding
tiie protest of citizens, powder and shot were
given to Indians at the recent distiibution of
annuities at Fort Benton, Montana, and that
traders were permitted to sell these articles to
them. The Democrat of to-day advocates the
re-election of Senator Pomeroy as U. S. Sen
ator from Kansas. It also advocates the election
of Ross for the short term.
.The Democrat's Jefferson City special says
that seventy-four radical members ol the Legis
lature declare emphatically for Chas. D. Drake
for U. S. Senator. This will insure his nomi
nation in caucus and subsequent election.

SINGLE AND DOUBLE VISION
SPECTACLES.
The only perfect Lens in existence. Su
perior to any other in use—constructed
in accordance with the science nnd phi
losophy of nature in the pcculinr form of a
Concavo-Convex Elipsis.
Admirably adapted to the Organ of Sight,
and perfectly natural to the eye, afford
ing altogether the best artificial help to
the human vision ever invented.
Sold only hy the Professor of Opt ies and
Spectacle Manufacturer.
THE ADVANTAGES
Os these Spectacles over all others are:
Ist.—The only true Lens known heiug
perfectly free from chromatic light, so well known to
be the cause of injury to the vision, and which makes
tile change from Spectacles to Glasses of stronger
power so often required, while both near and distant
objects are seen with equal facility through the same
Glasses.
2d.—Can he worn with perfect ease for
any length of time atone sitting, giving astonishing
clearness of vision, particularly by candle or other ar
tificial light—comfort to tho spectacle wearer hither
to unknown.
3d.-When the eyes ache or puiu I It rough
the action of a bright light, such as is reflected from
snow, sunny weather, white paper, and in reading,
writing or sewing, or vivid colored bodies, these
lenses, by softening the rays, effect a most agreeable
sensation and give great relief.
4th.—ln all nervous affections of the
eye, causing dull and startling pains in the eye-ball or
temple, appearance of luminous and dark sjiots in the
atmosphere, aching or feeling like sand in the eyes,
the disturbed nerves are quieted and soothed.
stl».—Ground by peculiar machinery,
got up at great cost, mathematically calculated ex
pressly for the manufacture of this lens, so as to pro
duce it with the true spherical accuracy, and its fo
cus is at the exact centre, a point ofvital importance,
and which no other lens possesses.
6th.--Proof of Bi>x>eriority over the old
kind of Spectacles: They are used exclusively at all
the hospitals for diseases of the eye in Berlin, Prussia,
and elsewhere.

FROM MEDICAL GENTLEMEN,
Professors of the highest Opthalmic talent in Augus
ta, Ga., and in the Union :
Augusta, Bth Dec., INCH.
I have examined the Glasses of Dr. Bernhardt
and find them of good quality. Itis testimonials are
very numerous, mid exceedingly flattering.
L. a. DUGAS, M. D.
Augusta, G«., Dec. ?lli, 1860.
1 do most willingly bear my testimony in favor of
the superiority ot the Australian Crystifl Single and
Double Vision Spectacles over all other kinds. They
are constructed upon the best established and under
stood principles of Optics, and their adaptation to the
human eye in its diflerent conditions of vision is so per
fect as to render sight easy without effort. In my
opinion none others should he used, since the eyes,
once used to these, do not seem to glow old, and by
having a focus at any point of the surface, they ap
pear to restore the eyes to tlieir youthful energy.
LEWIS D. FORD, M. D.
Augusta, Ga.. Dec. 7th, 1866.
1 have examined a great variety of Glasses, manu
factured l.y Prof. M. Bernhardt, and, in justice to
the Professor, must say that his Glasses are of a su
perior quality, adapted to meet the wants of almost
every eye, where the vision is in any way imperfect.
The ih-bfessor selected for me a pair ol his Australian
Crystal Glasses, which are ot'n very superior quality
and workmanship, rendering vision very distinct, al
most as perfect as in youth. I yield this testimony
in favor of the Professoi’s Glasses most cheerfully.
C. C. PRITtiiARO. M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7tli, 1866.
I very cordially recommend Prof. M. Bernhbrdt to
all who may require Glasses.
DESAUSSURE FORD, M. D.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7th, 1866.
We have examined ilie Lenses of Prof. F,ernhardt
and consider them superior to any we have seen.
They are admirably adapted, not only to improve the
imperfections of impaired sight, hut to relieve the
weariness of vision which constant study produces.
Many of the Glasses are of new and ingenious con
trivance. We cordially recommend the Professor to
all those who require scientific optical assistance.
11. A. BIG NON, M. I>.

intended.
Will. 11. DOUGHTY, M.D.
Augusta, Ga , Dec. Stl», 1866.
T have examined the Glasses of Dr. M. Berxuahdt,
of Europe, and have tried them. They are very re
markable for their beauty of workmanship anil for
their power to assist the vision. Dr. M. Bernhardt
has made Optics ilic study of liis life, and is evident
ly most thoroughly acquainted with the science, no
is a native of Beilin, Prussia, and has sludUd there;
hut ho has, for several years, been a resident of New
York. The diseased and aged will find great relief
from the use of liis Glasses. I have seen numerous
testimonials to the excellence of liis Glasses and to
his skill as an Optician, and I would recommend him
to alf whose vision is impared either through age or
disease. JOSEPH It. WILSON,
Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Augusta, Ga.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 8, 1866.
I have examined Prof. M. Bernhardt's very com
plete assortment of Spectacles and Lenses, and find
them admirably adapted to remedy such imperfections
of vision as can be benefitted hy tne skill of the Opti
cian. The material used in the manufacture of his
Glasses is of remarkable purity and beauty, and adds
very much to their value. I recommend him with
great cheerfulness to the confidence of all who may
require his services.
WM. 11. O. CLARK,
Rector of St. Paul’s Church.
Augusta, Ga,, Bth December, 1866.
I can recommend with entire confidence the Eye
Glasses and other expedients, for assisting impaired
vision, of Prof. M. Bernhardt. The mechanical ex
ecution ot his work is very beautiful and tile excel
lence of his Glasses unsurpassed. After personal in
spection and use, I can truly say that I have used
nothing which assists impaired vision more perfectly
GREGORY DUGGAN,
Pastor of Ht. Patrick Catholic Church.
Savannah, Ga., Nov. 39, 1866.
I hereby certify that Mrs. Davenport has been af
fected with Araorousis for about two months ; it be
came almost complete. On the ad of November last,
according to my advice, she placed herself under the
charge ol Dr. M. Bernhardt. Her vision has rapidly
improved. She can now read small print with or
without glasses.
JURIAII HARRISS,M. D.
I fully endorse what Dr. llarbibs has above said.
W- N. WAIUNG, M D.
Savannah, November 36, 1866.
Professor M. Bernhardt, Optician and Oculist:
I cheerfully state to you that a further acquaintance
with you and your most excellent Glasses has con
firmed my first impressions as to your skill and their
superiority over the general run, and I recommend all
whose vision is in any way impaired, as mine unfor
tunately is, to avail themselves of your sendees,
Respectfully, yours,
It. D. ARNOLD, M. D.
Savannah, November 30, 1866.
D.r. M. Brrnhardt, Optician:
Dear Sir—lt affords me pleasure to add my testi
mony to the many certificates given you in relation to
the benefit derived from the use of your Australian
Crystal Glasses.
On the 2d Inst., I called on you with my wife, who
has been some two months suffering from Amaurosis,
which rendered her almost entirely blind. After using
your Glasses constantly for three weeks, she is able to
read and see objects at at a distance almost perfectly,
and her eyes continue to improve daily. I cheerfully
recommend all similarly afflicted to your professional
care. Yours, truly,
11. M. DAVENPORT.
