Concert. —We have already noticed the fate
that, there will be a complimentary concert to
the Honorary Members of the Young Men’s
Amateur Musical Club of Augusta, at Masonic
Hall, on to-morrow, Thursday evening. Wc
jiow acknowledge the honor of an invitation to
bo present, from the Club, through the worthy
President thereof.
This Club has been in existence, under its
present organization, but a few months, and Is
composed of some of our most talented
amateurs. Having, chiefly, for its object the
study and practice of instrumental music as a
source of pleasure to, and edification ot its
members, it lias, under the efficient manage
ment ot the Musical Director—Prof. Hett—at
tained a proficiency highly creditable to the
individual members, and which speaks volumes
in behalf of the Professor’s aptness to teach.
The Amateurs will he assisted by the “ Quar
tette Club,” compil'd of gentlemen very
popular with the lovers of music, and who have
repeatedly, on different occasions, had their
singing applauded to the very echo.
We trust the musical club will make some
sm angement whereby all citizens, not members,
who desire, may attend the concert.

Coroner’s Inquest.— Yesterday morning
Coronet' Rhodes held an inquest on the body
of the little; child of Mr. P. Ilansberger, whose
death we noticed as caused by injuries receiv
ed ou the South Carolina Railroad, on Wash
ington street, the afternoon previous. The
facts, as elicited Horn witnesses, were in sub
stance as reported by us yesterday, and the
verdict of the jury was made accordingly.
The engineer was exonerated from all blame,
as “ there was no lookout on the tender.”
Goethe called architecture “ frozen music.”
The expression was truer, perhaps, than he
suspected. J)j . Jlay, some years ago, broached
a theory of harmony atul form, in which there
•w 3 s <T wonderin', conjunction of mathematics
and poetry, and the Parthenon was made out to
he literally •* frozen music,” and its propor
tions discovered to have been regulated by rela
tive proportions of the diatonic scale. The
walls of Thebes rose and the towers built them
selves up to tiie sound of the lyre of Orpheus.
Pythagoras insisted that the universe was a gi
gantic organ.
Tire Object op the Wak. —Conkling’s con
fession-read it in the telegraphic reports of
yesterday’s proceedings of Congress. The
South must support the Union ! Oh, Galorious
,Uniou ! The fight was urged by pelf instead of
patriotism. “ Dixies laud is tbc land ot cot
ton,” hut won’t (lie “man and brother” be apt
to “ lay down the shovel and the hoe” rather
than pay such tribute?
Moina Cotton Seed. —Some time since we
noticed "the sale, in this city, of a very superior
quality of cotton, raised by Mr. J. I). Echols,
of Lexington, G:i. This cotton is worth nearly
twice as much as the majority of the staple
brought to this market , and it costs no more to
produce it. Mr. Echols offers for sale a quan
tity of the seed. See advertisement.
The Federal Union , ot Tuesday, says the Su
preme Court has been in session in our city for
two weeks; many Os the most noted lawyers
in the State have been in attendance, and seve
ral important cases have been disposed of, but
we are assured that not over one-third of the
business lias been reached. It is thought pro
bable that the Court will take a recess before
the business is finished.
Augusta Free Soiioon.-The exercises of
the Mio-usta Free School closed yesterday lor
the Christmas holidays. The attendance this
term lias been quite large-total number ot
boys enrolled being IDi S' r ' s '
'Flie next term begins on the Ist Monday in
January, IS6S.
Mixed Marriages— ln Indianapolis, the
Criminal Court has decided that, the State law
forbidding marriages between tee whites and
blacks is not made null by the United States
civil rights law. The ease will be taken to the
Supreme Court.
Among the “ fashionable marriages” an
nounced in the Home Journal as soou to take
place, we observe that of Miss llenuie Mill,
of Athens, to Mr. Edgar Thompson, of Atlanta,
on the 17th iust.
Milwaukee has officially decided the value of
a man’s beard. In a, fight a ruffian pulled out
a man’s beard, and the court awarded him fit
teeu dollars damages. Hereafter this item
should be included in valuation lists.
Oijve Logan’s “ Surf” continues to cram the
Arch, Philadelphia.
We suppose when the Arch gets sur/eited
with this play the broad brims will call for a
new sensation.
The New York World says “Judge Shelia
barger gets no better.” “ Crank ” says if the
Judge “ went better” he would like to “see it.”
Crank seems to speak by the card.
An Illinois editor proposes to “ board

Much of the disbursemcnis were for white re

Pending the discussion, the morning hour ex
pired, and the repeal of the cotton tax was re
sumed.
Mr. Conkling, of New York, proceeded to
say that a helping hand had been extended to
these destitute communities; the direct fax
had been suspended in all the insurrectionary
States ; the tax had been removed from sugar
machinery and other articles which pertained
to that community; lie would say now that
it would have been much better for these peo
ple if onqof the parties of this country, and
the visible head of the Government, had
let them alone. If they had stopped
swaggering about, and talking about represen
tation in Congress and gone to work to build
up their impoverished section they would to
day have been much happier, and so would I.
If this tax teas taken off it would tcipc out twenty
millions of revenue and they knew not where to
(jo to replace it. Air. C. indicated a disposition
to vote lor a reduction of the tax, but maintain
ed that the proper course was to postpone the
bill until Febuaiy or March, when the whole
subject of revenue would be up, and gave notice
of his intention to make a motion to that effect.

In the convention, the committee on finance,

ury to pay the whole, reported adversely to any

surance that the treasurer of the State will tie
able, to pay all demands as presented. The re
port, was adopted.
The resolution tointeifere with the lease of
the Portsmouth Ferry was laid on the table by

has the power of legislation, aiul to ask Gen.
Schofield’s opinion, was laid on the table.
The following resolutions were referred:
For incorporating a provision in the consti
tution that immigrants to this State will not he
sued in courtadiere for debts incurred before
immigration, and exempting a certain amount
of real and personal property of such immi
grants from seizure lor debt.
For changing the system of State laws from
remedial to preventive.
The preamble to this resolution refers to the
prostitution of the liberty of speech and the
press anil for the punishment of attempts to
intimidate voters at the ratification election.

The Clerkexwell Prison Explosion.—
We find in the New York papers of the 14th
inst., the following :
London, Friday, December 13—9, P. M.—
The explosion at the Clerkeuwell Prison had
very serious results, but was not successful in
facilitating the rescue of Burke. The prisoner
was confined in'an inner cell, and could not es
cape by the breach ill the wall. He has been
removed to a place of greater security.
The explosion was tremendous in its effects.
The prison wall and neighboring buildings are
a mass of ruins. Some fives must have been
lost. It is widely rumored that as many as
twenty persons have been killed and that some
bodies are buried in the ruins.
It seems that during the morning repairs had
been commenced on the wall. Later in the day
some unkowu men were seen to roll a barrel,
which doubtless contained the powder, under
the place where the repairs were_ being made.
Shortly after this the explosion took place.
Two men and a woman who were fouud in
the vicinity have been arrested on suspicion ol
being connected with the perpetration of the
outrage.
The excitement there is so great that it is im
possible as yet to obtain any coireet account of
the casualties.
The Government lias decided to institute a
prosecution against John Martin and the other
persons who made treasonable speeches on the
occasion of the funeral demonstration in Dub
lin on Sunday last.
Indefatigable.— Such has been the eager
ness of the ladles to supply themselves with
the seasonable goods imported into this city
by Mr. H. L. A. Balk, and for sale at very low
prices, in his new store, No. 173 Broad street,
that nothing but the most indefatigable ener
gy has been able to keep pace with the demand.
Mr. Balk has just received fresh supplies of
Fault do Chevre, new Delaines, new Prints,
Opera Flannel, fresh assortment of French
kid gloves. Remember 173 Broad street.

MORE EXTRAORDINARY CURES.
Acgosta,’ Ga., November 21,15G7.
This will certify that I have been afflicted. with can
eer in the root of my mouth. It was so painful that
I could not rest night or day. It was with great diffi
culty that I could get food enough by it to support
life. It reacted all medical treatment, and finally eat
entirely through the roof of my mouth into ray nose.
I applied to Dr. De Lacek just four weeks ago to
day, and am now able to announce, l'or the benefit of
those that may be suffering from this terrible disease,
that I am entirely cured of cancer, and restored to
perfect health, and am as well as 1 was before beinj
afflicted. Miss Beclah Guillard.
1 take pleasure in adding my testimony, with hun
dreds in the surrounding States, that I have been
quickly cured by Dr. De Lacks. I had lost my sight
by closure of pupils, was entirely blind for four yca*».
Dr. Pi Licet operated for artificial pupil with the
most happy results to me, as 1 was restored to perfect
sight in two weeks from the operation, and c u read
the finest print in tfie public journals.

DEAFNESS OF OVER 20 YEARS CUHKI> V .
This is to certify that I applied to Dr. De Lacek
to cure my deafness. I had been deaf for over twen
ty years. ' I have had a great many doctors to try ray
case, and got no good done J found Dr. De Lacee
successful tu all cases that he had undertaken, and 1
thought I would try once more, although f did not
expect relief, as I could not hear a gun at fifty yards.
Surprising as it nay seem, I have been restored to
hearing in live weeks treatment; I can understand
with ease all conversation in the room, and can lie.', a
watch tick at the length of my arm lrom my head.—
I am 01 years of age, and would not take ton thousand
dollars for my hearing.

ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF
CANCER.
I have been cured of Cancer by Dr. D« Lacks,
which had resisted all treatment for five years. My
ease was considered incurable. X have been entirely
well for three mouths, and was cured in two weeks
by having tiie monster clean cut out, and the bones
scraped beneath it. I have been restored as by a mi
racle to health, and know many others in my county
that have been cured of Blindness and Deafness by
Dr. De Lacek. Gkohue Danielle, Esq f _
This is to certify that I am a stone mason, and while
at work, I was chipping off stone, when a small piece
with mortar flew into my eye, and in three days after
Iliad lost all useful sight in my eye. 1 sent to Dr.
De Lacek, and lie lias restored my sight in three
weeks’ treatment, so that 1 am able now to resume
my labor. My sight that lias been restored i« beyond
value to me, as I had lost one eye many years ago,
and if I had lost, this one I would have been life
lessly b ind. X desire ali that may be afflicted to ctill
upon Dr. De I.acke. Joun Janey.
This will certify Hint I have been afflicted with
Blindness and Painful Fore Eyes for the past, t- n
years, and have been a charge to my friends for the
last few years, as 1 h id expended all my means to re
cover my sight without benefit. I applied to Dr. I)e
Lacek four weeks ago, and through his Surgical and
Medical skill, I am now ale to earn my living, and can
read coarse print with comfort. I bear testimony that
I)r. Dk Licke has cured many of Blindness and
