A Neoro Mob.— On Monday night, about
ten o’clock, a young Irishman, a Federal sol
dier, connected with tho Quartermaster Depart
ment, was chased by a mob of negroes, who
had collected on Jackson street, into the sa
loon of Mr. Charles Spaeth. Tile soldier, on
entering Mr. Spaeth’s house, told him that the
negroes were following him, and he supposed
it was because lie wore the uniform. Mr. 8.
sent him into another room, and he was fur
nished by some of the hoarders with other
clothing. Thus attired, he scaled the fence
and escaped through St. John’s churchyard in
to Greene street. The mob of negroes sur
rounded the house of Mr. Spaeth, and demand
ed the ejection of the soldier, and on being
told there was no soldier there, they impu
dently demanded to search the premises, Os
course this was refused, whereupon all man
ner of threatening talk was used. The ne
groes said they did not. want to harm Mr.
Spaeth or family, hut only wanted to get hold
of the soldier. It was not claimed that the
soldier had committed any act of violence or
had given them any offense.
A neighbor—a lady—on being awakcnotl by
the turmoil, soon saw the situation of affairs,
hastily dressed herself and proceeded to the j
police ofliee for a force to protect Mr. Spaeth, !
who did not deem it prudent to leave liis home ;
while thus surrounded by an infuriated mob.
The police arrived after the negroes had dis
persed.
Great credit is due Mr. Spaeth for the cool
manner in which he acted in avoiding a col
lision with the ignorant creatures, aud his
strategy in protecting an unoffending man from
their senseless passion. Mr. S. would have
protected a negro from a wliitd inoh under the
circumstances, as all know who are acquainted
with him. Our advice to the colored people is,'
to cease these riotous retaliations, and appeal
to the laws for protection.
Doings About the Courts. —Yesterday was
a lively day at the Recorder’s Court; quite a
number of persons were “ up,” having neglect
ed to take out business licenses. Several dis
turbers of I lie peace were induced to contribute
to the efty treasury.
Before Judge McLaws the examination ol
William Griffin, colored, charged with the mur
der of Milton Parker, his half brother, was
commenced. It will he remembered that Grif
fiu shot and killed Parker some weeks since iu
the lower part of the eouuty and came to the
city aud surrendered himself. The evidence is
very conflicting and is not. yet concluded. A.
D. Picquet, Esq., appears for the prisoner and
Messrs. Olin and Long for the prosecution.
Home Industry. —Public attention is es
pecially called to the advertisement of Mr.
George Coopc-r, iti this morning’s issue. No
stronger combination of talent has ever been
associated in this community in the mechanical
line than that announced in the advertisement,
Mr. Cooper being one of the best millwrights
and machinists in this section of country and
Mr. Timmons the most experienced iron mas
ter. Their workmanship speaks for itself. —
The iron work of the splendid building now
being erected for Col. W. B. Griffin having
been furnished by them, and many of our fine
stores on Broad street are adorned with fronts
of their bandy work.
Cotton' House—Savannah and Augusta.
—Messrs. James M. Dye and Wm. J. Owens
have formed a partnership lor the transaction
ot business in cotton and other produce in Sa
vaunah. The firm of James M. Dye & Co., of
Augusta, continue business at flic old stand—
-143 Reynolds street, Augusta—and will make
liberal cash advances on consignments to them,
or the house of Owens & Dye, Savannah.
Mr. Wm. J. Owens will couduct the business
ill Savannah, and we doubt not bis extended
acquaintance in this city and section will insure
his house a liberal patronage.
The Coi.umuia Ciihonici.e. —We have re
ceived the first number of a new daily with the
above name, which Is published in Columbia,
;S. C., by a company. In making its bow, the
Chronicle says:
We hopo at all times to made an attractive
and welcome appearance. We have no politi
cal aim or ambition, and shall endeavor to ob
serve a strict neutrality in all party matters, yet
be conscientiously attentive to (lie interest of
the State. To make a good newspaper is the
object of our labor, and to this end the co
operation of the public is earnestly invoked.
Soldier Mon.—At an early hour on Monday
night a party of soldiers met our friend Mr.
Hett, the musician, on Reynolds street, and
laid violent hands upon him. Before much in
jury had been inflicted, however, one of the
party cried out: “ Hold on, boys, this is a
white man.” The men desisted and beat a
hurried retreat. We arc pleased to learn that
for once the fact ol being white has been of
benefit to a man.
Gymnastic Society.— A number of our citi
zens have formed a gymnastic society, elected
officers and are ready to proceed to business.—
A meeting will be held on Monday evening
next at George Rappold’s, and any gentlemen
desirous of uniting with the society are cor
dially invited to attend.
Store to Rent.— lt will be seen by adver
tisement in another column that the fiuely lo
cated and spacious Btorc, No. 20D, now occu
pied by Messrs. Crump, Davison & Co., is of
’ tered for rent.
Mollie Beckct, wife of Ben. Wheeler, the
Irish comedian, died in New Orleans, last week,
of yellow fever.
Dan Castello’s Great Show.— We have
received a note from Dan Castello, the grea.i
showman, annonneiug his intention to make
an extended tour of the Southern States during
the fall of 1867-’6B, visiting all the principa.
cities and towns, including Augusta. He hat.
made many additions aud improvements to hit
establishment, among which is M’lle Panline,
from La Cirque, Paris. We copy the following
extract from the Le Moniteur , Paris:
_** P a|- is has lost another of her attractions.
Iho brilliant Pauline, who has been taming
the heads ol La Jennessc Doree, at the Cirque
I m per file, daring the summer, by her bewitch
ing riding, left yesterday for Havre, from
whence she is to sail for America, having been
engaged by the agent of Dan Castello & Co., to
join their large traveling establishment, said to
be the largest in America. While we sympa
thize with her large train of admirers here, in
the loss they sustain by her withdrawal from
their world, for a time, we congratulate the
lovers ol amuscincut in America, upon so bril
liant an acquisition as the charming Pauline
w ill prove to their sources of pleasure. She is
a charming woman, aud a most brilliant artist,
whose equal they have never yet seen.”
Music.—There are many good, pious, unpre
judiced Christian men who are opposed to in
strumental music in churches, or places of wor
ship. A large majority of church-goers, how
ever, prefer instrumental music to aid iu the
worship. There is something, to us grand and
beautiful iu the strains from an organ or me
lodeou, as they ascend in the peals of re
joicing and thankfulness toward Heaven. A
feeling of reverence and awe creeps over the
lover of music under such circumstances which
is akin to the adoration of the Most High. He
that is a lover of music is several degrees near
er God, in our estimation, than the sour, stern
man, in whose bosom no sympathetic chord
can bo thrilled by the 6weet strains of harmony
which ascend hcaveuward iu praise of Him
who implanted in the human bosom and brain
faculties to appreciate and create beauties of
nature and art.
Pomological. —The Pomological Conven
tion in St. Louis adjourned on Friday, after a
very interesting session. It will reassemble
two years hence in Philadelphia. The display
of standard Iruits consisted of 680 dishes of
grapes, 803 dishes of apples, 745 dishes of
pears and 212 dishes ol peaches. The Presi
dent stated that the quautity and quality of the
fruits exceeded the most sanguine expectations
of tho society, and that the exhibition exceeded
anything iu the pomological line the world
ever saw. The fruit was sold at auction this
afternoon, to assist in defraying the expenses
of the society, and some of it brought high
prices.
The Oki>ek of Good Fellows.— The Na
tional Convention of the Order of Good Fel
lows closed in Buffalo, on Friday last. Wash
ington City was selected as the place for hold
ing the next annual National Convention. The
following officers were elected to serve for the
ensuing year: N. G. M., Charles Osborn, Penn
sylvania; D. G. M., Alexander Aupperle,Ohio;
G. C., Thomas 11. Bass, Pennsylvania; G. Sec
retary, John Wharton, Pennsylvania; Treasu
rer, August Etteng, Missouri; G. Warden,
Samuel West, Illinois ; G. Tyler, K. Flack, New
York.
Gf.n. Butler at the War Office. —Gen.
Butler visited the War Department on Wednes
day last, and made a brief official call on Gen.
Grant, which was marked with great courtesy
on bolh sides. He presented his official re
port on the National Asylum, and asked the
Chiefs of the various Burenus to refer nil appli
cations from disabled soldiers, of which many
arc received at the Departments, to the Gover
nors of the several branches of the Asylum.

United States District Court.
Ills HONOR JUDGE ERSKINE, PRESIDING.
The counsel for the defense in the Athens
Armory case, Messis. Dougherty and Hull,
having eoneluded their argument on Saturday
afternoon last, the closing argument on the
part of the United States was made yesterday
morning by Maj. Fitcb, the District Attorney,
when the case was submitted to bis Ilouor, tlie
counsel agreeing that it should not go before
the jury. The decree of Judge Erskiue lias
not yet been rendered. This case is an import
ant 011 c, and involves a large sum of money',
its history briefly is this: Cook & Bro. pur
chased ground at Athens, and erected thereon
a massive building to lie used as an armory for
the manufacture of fire-arms. Valuable ma
chinery was put into operation, and a contract
entered into with the Confederate Government
for 30,000 Enfield rifles. The Confederate Gov
ernment advanced to Cook <fe Bro. $150,000 on
the contract, taking a mortgage on the building
and machinery for that amount. At the con
clusion of flic war the property was seized by
the Government, aud Cook & Bro. are now en
deavoring to recover it.
Robert Campbell, of Campbell county, against
whom a verdict of “ guilty” was rendered for
llie illegal dfstillatiou of liquor, was sentenced
by His Honor to pay a tine of S2OO, and one
day’s imprisonment.
I. W Christian and George T. Bartlett were
admitted to practice.
An interesting case is now before the jury.
A balance is claimed by the Government against
William Woods, the former postmaster at
Madison, Georgia. One item iti that balance
claim consists of $750 worth of United Scales
postage stamps, which Mr. Woods had in his
possession. Mr. Woods claims that his account
should be credited with the amonut of said
stamps, as they were In ihe first place rendered
worthless because tho United States Govern
ment threw them out of use by issuing a new
stamp ; and secondly, he was required by the
Confederate Government to send them to Rich
mond.
Wo learn that part of the Court’s attention
to-day will be given to cases in bankruptcy.
Death of an Old and Valuable Citizen.
—We regret to record the death of Mr. Samuel
Griswold, which occurred at his residence in
Griswoldville, Jones county, on Friday last,
alter a lingering illness and at an advanced age.
Mr. Griswold has been widely known, for a
quarter of a century, as tbc manufacturer of
the celebrated cotton gin that bears his name.
As a great mechanic he was a public benefactor,
and bis example of industry and thrift is a val
uable public legacy. He accumulated a good
tortunc by the sale of bis gins, which always
ranked high in the public estimation. The
town of Griswoldville, on the Central Railroad,
was built aud owned by himself. It was a
thrifty place, aud devoted wholly to manufac
tures of various sorts, the result of his enter
prise. Os late years Mr. Griswold has been
quite infirm in health, which made it necessary
lor him to retire from active busiuess, though
his extensive works were still carried on until
the invading army of Sherman applied the
torch to the result of many years’ toll, and
Bwept away the entire town with the single ex
ception of his residence, which was spared
upon the earnest entreaty of the females of his
latuily. —Macon Telegraph.
A Veteran Printer Gone to His Rest.—
Mr. Samuel B. Hunt died of a congestive chill,
at his home, in this county', on Friday last.—
His age was about fifty-four years, and he had
been employed as a printer almost constantly
ever Bince his early youth. He was employed
iu the Courier office when purchased by the
present proprietor in January, 1855, and has
been constantly employed in this office—except
lor about two years—ever since, until less than
one week before his death.
He wa6 a faithful, industrious, quiet Chris- 1
tian, who pursued the even tenor of his way
with earnestness and singleness of heart. Few
men ever lived who, apparently, thought less
of self or aid more, according to tbelr means, •
for the comfort and happiness ol those depend
ent upon them.
His aspirations were not so much to attain 1
high position as to be true to the trusts im- 1
posed upon him, and faithful in his sphere of 1
action. His widow aud ten children, in great
distress at this sudden bereavement, have our
tenderest sympathies. May a merciful Provi
dence protect and defend them, afford spiritual
consolation, supply their earthly wants, and
prepare them all to meet their earthly protector
in that heavenly land where labor and sorrow
shall be known no more forever.

thought the bridge, which is already framed,
can be put up in six weeks. The road will,
without doubt, be completed to this point by

A printer is liable to the special tax as a
manufacturer, if the articles he prints exceed
in value, when printed, one thousand dollars
per annum. A printer is understood to be
any person or firm whose business it is to take
impressions from type or engraved surfaces
upon paper or other materials. In determin
ing the liability of printers to the special tax as
manufacturers, the value of the articles of
merchandize produced by them should alone
be taken into consideration. Amounts re
ceived for insertirg advertisements in newspa

New York Dry Goods Market.
Fri dav, September 13,1867.
There is 6omo slight improvement notideable
in the amount of business in the Dry Goods
market to-day, and a better confidence In trade
genern’ly. The transactions arc quite liberal
among the leading jobbing houses, although
the business is less generally active with agents
and the smaller nouses.
The country generally seems to be well re
presented in the market, with the exception of
tlia Southern States. Ihc quantity of goods
going to St. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati and
Virginia is quite large, but the amount is very
small to the places south of these points, and it
is probable that but little activity is to be
expected from these States until the cotton erop
begins to come to this market.
The imports of dry goods for the week com
pared with those of 1865 have beeu as follows :

Fowler A Co. are insured for ten thousand

joining were also destroyed ; loss about seven

Wft)ls.
FROM BOSTON.
Boston, September 15.—The corner stone of
the new Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Cross,
corner of Maiden and Washington streets, was
laid this afternoon with impressive ceremonies.
Archbishop McClusky, of New York, de
livered an address, saying that the cathedral
was valued at $1,500,000, including the cost of
the land.
FROM TENNESBEE.
A Military Murder. —An assassination,
the most damnable iu its nature, brutal in its
execution, and which eclipses every tiling of
the horrible that has transpired in this State
since the surrender, occurred at Jackson, Ten
nessee, a few days since. Major Thomas H.
Jlartmus, while walking leisurely along the
6treet, was met by a squad of Brownlow’s mili
tia, stationed at that point, who demanded of
him, in very insulting language, his pistol. To
avoid a difficulty he gave it up. One of the
rabble then dealt him several severe blows over
the head, at the same time shooting him
through the abdomen. Major Uartmus had no
previous words or quarrel with any of these
hyenas. lie was born in East Tennessee, was
about thirty-three years old, and unmarried.
He served with honor during the war on the
staff of Major General Bate, and we speak
from personal knowledge when we say that no
more high minded, whole souled, genial gen
tleman ever responded to a generous emotion,
than Major Thomas H. Hartmus. Since the
war he had been engaged in merchandizing at
Jackson. The particulars of the affair which
have reached us are very meagre. By Tuesday
wc hope to be able to lay before our readers all
the circumstances.— Memphti Avalanche, 15M.
Fire. —The fire of 1 % o’clock on Monday
morning was in the carriage shop of Hitchins
& Bros., on the corner of Forsyth and Walton
streets, the whole concern, with the better part
of its contents, being consumed. We learn that
the proprietors were partly insured in the
•AStua Company. The building was a wooden
one, and is believed to have been fired by an
incendiary. Much crodit is due the Fire De
partment for preventing a spread of the flames.

Hog Cholera.— The Cholera and Throat
Disease in Hogs is prevailing, to a fearful ex
tent, in some sections, ft is indeed much to
be regretted that the farmers and stock owners
should, in these pressing times, suffer so much

It is staled, by some that have used the pre
parations, that FOUTZ’S CELEBRATED
HORSE AND CATTLE POWDERS will cure
it; and if occasionally used, this time of the
j year, will entirely prevent the diseases. This
is a simple remedy and easy to get—we believe
all respectable stores keep them lor sale. We
I would advise owners of hogs to give it a trial,

V COTTON PRESS.
fW OPINIONS OF THE PEOPLE t
MESSRS. LITTLE & MARSHALL: '
Gentlemen ; I used, during the past season, one of “ INGERSOLL’S PORTABLE COT
TON PRESSES,” purchased of you last September. I have always been prejudiced in favor oi
the “Screw Press," and nothing but dire necessity induced me try any other. I take pleasure,
however, in adding my testimony in favor of its entire adaptation to the wants of a Coltou Plan
tation. It has surpassed my most sanguine expectations. I have packed with but two hands,
yet f preler four—two at each lever. My bales all weighed over 500 lbs. The first lot I sent to
market averaged 563 lbs. My impression is that 500 lbs. is about the capacity of the Press, and
a greater number of pouuds subject the follow-block to too much risk, unless the sides of the
cotton box was increased. It would add greatly to the value of the Press if the cotton box was
ten inches longer. In baste, I am, very respectfully, your obedient servaut, &c.,
B. W. LAWTON.
P. B.—l took my Press down and carried it some four miles to pack the crop of a neighbor,
who failed to have a “ Screw ” built; he was so much pleased that he has determined to aban
don the “Screw" and purchase “Ingersoll’s Press.” B. W. L.
Office of King’s Mountain Railroad Company, >
Yorkville, 8. C., April 15, 1867. j
Gentlemen : 1 have just received your letter of February 14th —upon my return to this
place, after an absence ol two mouths—and this reply may be too late for your “ Descriptive
Circular of Ingersoll’s Cotton Press."
The Press I used in packing my cotton last year worked admirably, packing with ease from
00 to 535 lbs. With good active hands to woik it, 1 am satisfied that from eighteen to twenty
bales might readily lie packed in a day.
This Press combines the advantages of lightness and consequent portability and simplicity
(being easily managed by any oue of ordinary intelligence). Great compressing force, with lit
tle motive power, aud “hist, but not least,” it is worked entirely by baud, thus saving for the
farm horses the hard labor imposed upou them by the use of the ordinary “ Screw.”
Respectfully, &c., yours, E. M. LAW.

DILLON’S
PATENT UNIVERSAL
' JOTTON TIE ANI) IKON HOOPS.
-A— HIS TIE, with the HOOP complete, weighs no
; aore than the usual rope used in baling cotton, and
lenders an allowance for tare unnecessary. It looses
no slack while putting ou, and is so perfect that the
necessity tor tieavy hoops, to make up tor dellciencie
in the TIE, is entirely obviated.
Can be sold by the pound or ton, as cheaply as the
heavy hoops ami less perfect lies. Each and every
TIE is warranted perfect.
As an evidence of the estimation in which these
TIES are held, we herewith append the certificate of
the Agent of the Central Cotton Press in this city. If
a competent judge can be found anywhere us to the
merits of Iron Ties, this gentleman may surely be so
considered, as he presses thousands pf hales of Cotton
every year, and Ties of all patents are constantly pass
ing through his hands.

Savannah, May 27th, 1867. \
Messrs. E. W. Sims At Co.,
Agents for Dillon’s “ Universal Tie,” Savannah.
Dear Sirs : In my business of compressing Cotton,
I have had occasion to examine closely all of the vari
ous Ties for iron bands used In baling Cotton, and
pleasure ill testifying to the superiority overall others
of the *• UNIVERSAL TIE.” It is as easily ad
justed and is much stronger tliau any other Tie.
A Tie that is not good at the Press is not good at
tlie Plantation, as nearly all the Cotton is compresses
at the l'orts, and a weak Tie must then be replaced by
a good one at the expense of the planter. I have
never seen one of your TIES break, though I pitches
a bale of Cotton secured by them out of a econc
story to the ground without any break to the fall.
Under these circumstances I unhesitatingly recom
mend the 14 UNIVERSAL TIE ” to every Planter, u
combining the greatest simplicity, with unequalled
strength.
