Death of Conductor Verdery.— We regret to announce, says the Savannah Advertiser, that the injuries received by Mr. John P. Verdery three weeks since terminated fatally Friday morning. After the amputation of his feet he seemed for n time so be getting along favora bly, but subsequently Ihe wounds sloughed, and gangrene and mortification set in. On Sunday night he was seized with lockjaw and gradually sunk till relieved by death, about 4 o’clock yesterday morning. Mr. Verdery was a native of Burke county, in this State, and had reached his 44th year. He entered ihe service ol the Georgia Railroad in 1850, and remained in the employ of that corporation in various capacities till 1854 or 1855, when he was made passenger conductor, in which position he continued till November, 1865, wbou bid-health having: become impaired, he resigned ami removed lo Savannah. lie bought a place on Vernon river and remained there uutil his health was restored. About a year ago he returned to railroading as freight conductor on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, where he continued till he met the accident which has resulted in his death. Mr. V. was well known in Augusta and At lanta, and indeed all along the line of the Geor gia Railroad, where he was a faithful and popu lar conductor for more than ten years. During his comparatively short residence in this city lie made many friends, who now unite with his relatives in lamenting his decease. He had no family of his own, but leaves an aged mother, of whom he was the support, and we think also two or three brothers and sisters and other re latives. Meeting op the Fire Department.— There was a regular meeting of the Augusta Fire Department last night, at City Hall. The meeting was very full, though numerous ab sentees were fined. It was resolved to call the attention of the powers that be to the distractions- steps, stoops, boxes, etc.—on the sidewalks ; also, to the fact that some of the street crossings and bridges were not sufficiently wide for the pass age of engines or hose carriages. A change was made in the bye-laws, dispens ing with one of the general meetings of the Department and providing in its stead a meet ing of the officers of the respective companies. Serious Accident.— Last night Mr. Julius R. Howeil, the well known millwright of this city, fell over the stair railing in one of the hails of the City Hotel to the landing below, breaking his thigh hone near the hip joiut. Dr. DeS. Ford was called in to set the broken limb. We condole with Mr. Howell in his suffering and trust he may syieediiy recover. The Reason Whv.—Farragut, says a tele gram, dined with Victor Emanuel for the pur pose of getting; a navel station in the Mediter ranean. It is well that this officer of this Re publican Government has explained why he sat at meat with a king. IL is well that he did not go as a gentleman should, but, like a “Yankee,” to “dicker.” Personal.— Parson Meade, the successor of Pope John, passed through the city yesterday en route for Firoida. It is supposed that he goes to the Land of Flowers for the purpose of attempting the “ reconstruction ” of his mongrel manegerie in that section o( his domin ions. _ Cash.— The elegant dry goods which the Messrs J. A. Gray & Cos. are daily receiving have been bought for, cash and they are being sold at a small advance on the same terms. Read their new advertisement. Revived. —We learn that the P. S. Society has been revived, now that “ the spring time is coming.” D. D. Plumb is p "esident and S. C. Durban is Secretary. New Spring Goods.—This is the note sounded by Mr. Balk. Let the ladies refer to his advertisement. Sugar, Potatoes and Flour.— Mr. A. Ste vens offers any quantity of these indespensable articles for sale. Death on the Cars.— On Wednesday last, our lellow-citizen, Mr. A. J. Swinney, while re turning from Smithville, suddenly died on the cars. Mr. S. was a gentleman of excellent business capacities, and his line social qualities endeared him to all who knew him. He leaves, besides his numerous friends, two daughters to mourn his unexpected death. \AVbany, (Ga.) News, 14 th. BY TELEGRAPH. ASSOCIATED PREBB DISPATCHES. Congressional. Washington, February 15. Senate.— No session. House.—The consideration of the Kentucky election case was resumed. Smith, the minori ty candidate, pleaded his own case. Several others spoke in his behalf on the resolution. Smith was defeated by 30 to 101. A resolution directing the Speaker to notify the Governor of Kentucky ol the vacant seat was adopted. The Grant and Hancock correspondence was presented. The appropriation bill was resumed, and the House adjourned. W ashington. Washington, February 15. Grant’s last letter to Hancock says : “ If your order removing the City Council has been exe cuted and the new appointees are in, you need not suspend the order as directed.” The re moved comprise two white and seven colored members. Revenue, to-day, $406,000; for the week, $3,000,000; lor the year, $133,500,000. A partial survey of the War Office indicates the building as weak and unsafe.

It is stated Sherman telegraphs regretting his nomination and deprecating bis confirma liou as Brevet General, expressing a disincliua tion to assume the command of the new division, with headquarters at Washington. IST ew YUrk. New York, February 15.

"Virginia. Richmond, February 15. In convention the oyster question was tabled, and also the Georgia resolutions asking Con gress to loan the South thirty millions. Nothing else of interest transpired. Judge Underwood to-day remanded Church well Combs to the custody of the military. He decided that Congress, which was the war making power, has not yet declared peace, and the country being in a state of armistice the civil courts have no right to take prisoners out of military custody. The case goes up to the Supreme Court. General Schofield issued several orders to day about registration. One orders anew re gistration in Richmond, March-2; another pro vides where voters in the State have changed their residence since the last registration they may register in the district where they reside. The third is for the guidance of registration hoards, and directs that where a person has held a United States office and then voted vol untarily for secession he is disfranchised. The holding a United States office is defin ed ns having held an office to which the holder was appointed by the President, court3oflaw or heads of departments. Those who have held county or town offices, “ created for the administration of justice,” are disfranchised, hut not their deputies. Executive pardon does uot remove disfranchisement. ISTortli Carolina. Raleigh, February 15. The convention is engaged on the Bill of Rights. Among other sections passed was one pledging the faith of the Slate for the payment of its public debt, other than that incurred in nid of the rebellion. Mr. Durham offered a section prohibiting TOKM-tnorPS hetn-eeri I . mrl ~-I:., —-S!M, was tahled, and thus virtually voted down. The use of Ihe house for a lecture was ob jected to by negro and white delegates, on the ground that on a former occasion negroes had not been allowed the privileges of the same floor with the whites. These, are regarded as declarations in favor of social, as well as politi cal, equality. So a tit Carolina. Charleston, February 15. The convention was mainly occupied to-day with the discussion of the resolution asking Congress to loin the State $1,000,000 for the purpose of purchasing lands for the landless GJ-eorgia. Atlanta, February 15. A motion to reconsider the fifth paragraph, section first, of the Legislative Committee’s re port, adopted yesterday, was defeated—yeas, 62; nays, 02, the President voting! in the negative. It provides that no person holding office under the United States, or State Executive, justices of the Inferior Court or of the peace and officers of the militia shall be eligible to the Legisla ture, and that no member of the Legislature shall be appointed by the Governor or elected by the Legislature to any office of emolument. The Finance Committee was authorized to negotiate a loan to defray the expenses of the convention.

A negro shot a soldier for insuitiug a negro’s wife. The Arkansas convention has adjourned, sub ject to the call of its President. Mississippi. Jackson, February 15.
