The value of the?* portion of the building to be devoted to this object, Tor renting purposes, is estimated at $20,000. In addition to which, lie is willing to ex pend the sum of $20,000 cash, making S4O;- 000. ' The cost of the proposed opera house will be $30,000, the value of that portion of the building to be taken for this object is $20,000, making $50,000, of which amount the projector is willing to assume $40,000, as above, provided that the citizens, mer chants and business men contribute the balance, viz: SIO,OOO, to be paid on the completion of the opera house, say about first of November next. The plan of the opera house will com bine the best features of Wallack’s Theatre ou Broadway, and of the Fifth Avenue Opera House, New York ; following main ly the plan of the latter, which is the gem of all. the small theatres in this country. The opera house will contain orchestra chairs, parquette, balcony seats, dress cir cle, family circle and gallery, with a hand some proscenium and four proscenium boxes. The ceiling and walls will be handsomely frescoed and decorated. There will lie an elegant drop curtain and stock scenery, &c , &c., making it altogether, by far, the most attractive little theatre in the whole South. Its capacity will be from ten to twelve hundred scats. Steel-Capped Rails. —This invention is beginning to attract the attention of railway authorities, promising, as it does, to interpose an effectual chock to the nu merous accidents which result from broken rails. The inveo*“*’ “>• « «o- c yu-<m*-« , 11 . 1., has recently arranged with the Cleveland Iron Company for the man ufacture of 7,000 tons, to lie iaiddown upon the Western roads. In experimental appli cation to a portion of the New York Cen tral, this rail lias had a trial of two years, and has stood the test effectually. The rails have endured without injury all the extremes of heat and cold, and thus far ap pear amply to justify their claim to be con sidered the safest and most durable yet in vented. We welcome the application of any discovery which tends to diminish the insecurity of travel; and as Mr. Booth’s rail promises to do this, we commend it to the attention of those interested, and hope before long to hear that it is in process of manufacture at every rolling-mill in the country. How to Wash Wool. —As the time for shearing sheep and washing wool is near at hand, the following receipt for washing wool will doubtless be of interest to many of our readers. It is from an authoritative source, and merits trial: “ Take one ounce borax, one ounce car bonate of amonia, one pound and a quarter of sal soda, two and a half pounds of salt. Put into twenty-five gallons of water.— Then till your kettle two-tliirds full of the liquid, and heat it until you can barely hold your hand in it, and keep.it at that temperature. Put in three or four pounds of wool, and let it remain from ten to fifteen minutes. Then skim it out with a stick, letting the liquor run back into the kettle. Then put it in a tub and rince with two or three waters till clean. Fill up the kettle as before until you have your wool washed. Then put to dry. Handle the wool with a stick, both in the kettle and tub, if you want to have it in good condition, and not with your hands.” Thanks. —On yesterday morning, a smiling frcedman entered our sanctum and quietly placed on the table thereof a bulky package. Upon close examination of this mysterious bundle, we discovered it Ip contain a gigantic ham—a ham worthy of the praise of editors and other imperial personages. Examining still further, we found a modest label, informing us that our friend, W. T. Butt, who officiates with Messrs. Horton & Walton, was the gener ous donor. We return him our choicest benediction, and, if he has any more hams of the same description, the whole town should besiege him. We do not say that everybody in town will get hams as cheap as we got the monster before us, but Hor ton & Walton will be reasonable and Mr. Butt will satisfy all comers that their money shall not be spent in vain. Bank Notes Not go Be Counterfeit ed. —Gco-'T. Jones, an engraver, of Cin cinnati, has perfected and patented a sys tem of printing bank notes, which, it is said, defies counterfeiting. He prints on unsized paper, which is well known to take the clearest and sharpest impressions, and then proceeds to apply mechanically a siz ing perfected by him, which, having been set by subjection to a heat of 200 degrees, is henceforth insoluble and irremovable without destroying the impression beneath it, and thus leaving the paper nearly white and wholly illegible. The colors, being wisely chosen, cannot be photographed, but are japanned, as it were, and laugh at the most ingenious and skillful efforts to transfer, which can be removed only by effacing or destroying them. Columbia anH Augusta Railroad.— The trains on this road will enter the city to-morrow. Recorder's Court. —Recorder Crump had a full meeting yesterday of violators of the famous Eighteenth Section of the General Ordinance of the city. The first couple forward .to dance attend ance to his call consisted of Emanuel Hun ter and Milligan Smith (colored), drayman and ’bus driver, respectively, whose vehi cles had collided on the street, causing a collision of the sable Jehus, His Honor charged them $5 and costs, each, for the disorderly manner in which the affair was conducted. . The next case was that of Daniel Kelly, who was assessed $5 and costs for resisting a police officer in the discharge of his duty. Daniel came to thi*>just judgmOt by a too free use of the cup that inebriates. The levee concluded with the appearance of two Grecian benders—ardent spirits —who had engaged in a somewhat too ani mated discussion of the powers of num bers. Janies Galgan and Mitchell Donell could not agree as to the relative' force of “ five” and “eight,” lienee a fight, hence a rumpus, and then a case for the Recorder. Each of these Augusta citizens was fined $5 and costs. Preserving the Balance. —A corres pondent of the Independence Beige remarks that, while some inventors are always at work devising murderous weapons, others keep the balance by planning defensive ad justments. He compares this thrust-and parry business to a steeple-chase the last round of which is never run. For instance, as a set-off to Dreyse’s needle-gun, now comes M. Paul Baudet, and submits to the French Minister of War a method of con verting soldiers’ knapsacks into ball-proof shields. He plates them with steel, and the soldier holds his knapsack before him when bullets are flying. The tin can and wooden bowl, which form a part of the French soldier’s kit, are also converted into shields by being plated with steel on the exposed parts of their surface. Thus the soldier has a chance of escaping many bul lets, and, should the proposed plan prove a success, somebody will have to invent a gun that will drive bullets through steel clad pots and pans. Sunday in Paris.— lt is announced in most of the French papers that the princi pal shops in Paris will henceforth be closed, on Sunday. Tins important social reform is not the result of a religious movement, but has been brought about by the same kind of agency which, in England, has in troduced the Saturday half holiday. The Society of the Employes de Commerce in form the public that, with few exceptions, all the linen-drapers, venders of ready-made apparel, silk mercers, and hosiers of Paris have consented to close their shops on Sundays, and the employees “ appeal to the good will of the public to aid them in making the measure general.” Muttal Like Insurance Companies.— A New York letter of Tuesday says: “ There are two signs of coming opposi tions to all life insurance companies, which, under the plea of ‘ mutual ’ draw numerous members to their concern, but, neverthe less, manage their business as that of a close corporation. The Mutual Life In surance Company, of New York, the largest in the city, held an-eleetion of directors to day, and for the first time in the history of the constitution, there was an opposition ticket. It was not successful, simply be cause the matter had not been canvassed before hand. Only this morning advertise ments calling upon policy-holders to exer cise their right to vote appeared in the daily papers, but too late to have any prac tical effect. The movement is significant, however, showing that the halcyon days of. mutual insurance comiranies are approach ing to their end.” The Him’ CLpn will give their second hop Tuesday night, the 15th. Subscribers can gef their tickets from the committee. Omnibuses will leave the Globe corner at 8%, p. m. Fare each way, 25 cents. Edwin Booth, the distinguished trage dian, was married at Long Branch. N. J., on Monday last, to Miss Mary McVicker, who, during the past season, has sustained the part of leading lady at his theatre. Richmond County Agricultural So ciety.—The meeting of this Society yes terday, on the Sand Hills, was, we learn, well attended. But for some cause, Mr. Lewis, who was to have delivered an ad dress, was not present. Exchange Saloon. —Mr. John C. Boh ler, superintendent of this saloon, 140 Broad street, will aceept our thanks for the superior “ Bicrc Robee,” scut to our office yesterday. The Exchange is now fitted up on the European plan. Magistrate’s Court. —One or two un important cases were disposed of in Justice Ells’ Court yesterday, to the satisfaction of all concerned. Enormous Coal Deposit. —General J. T. Wilder, of Rockford Iron Works, was in the city yesterday for a short imc. He in forms ns that the miners in his coal miues are now at work upon' a deposit of coal which exceeds in thickness anything ever known in the world. An air course driven across the bed shows it to be over one hundred feet thick! This is more than twice the thickness of the largest beds of anthracite coal in Pennsylvania. [Knoxville Press and Herald, June 16. Ciiors. —The North Georgia Citizen says: “Wheat is fast ripening now, aud there being bin little rust ou the blade, it is generally out of all danger. The crop in this section will be very large. We would advise onr country friends not to be hasty in selling. The Western crop may not be so good, however much speculators may exaggerate. Corn is doing well enough, and with good seasons, old Cherokee Geor gia will have her barns crammed.” COW PEAS FOR SALE In QUANTITIES to SUIT PURCHASERS, at $1 15 PER BUSHEL, by GEO. T.

The Cubans have dispatches reporting the fol lowing: Two expeditions of over six hun dred, with arms, ammunition and provisions safely landed and joined the patriots. Trial of soldiers of the late war for desertions from Spaniard to Cubans, is increasing. Frequent collisions occur between the troops and the volunteers, whose animosi ties are irreconcilable.

Jackson, June 12L— The- ttSSEkry Com mission Tn the case of x erger is progress ing slowly. The right of Gen. Granger, Pmfdent of the commission, to sit on the case was challenged by the defense, on the ground that he had formed an opinion as to guilt of the prisoner. The defense ar gued that the rules governing juries in civil cases should govern the commission. The challenge was sustained and Granger with drew. Gen. Swift is now President. The defense entered a plea to the juris diction of the commission, on the ground of being a citizen, has never been in the army or navy; the offense is against the laws of Mississippi, and insists that under the Constitution of the United States he cannot be tried except by indictment of a grand jury, and the commission has not the right to try, except on such indictment.— Willis P. Harris argued for the defense, Col. Layton for the commission. Plea of defense overruled. The charges and speci fications were read and prisoner plead not guilty to all the charges of murder. The Pilot, a Radical organ, freely admits that the difficulty between Yerger and Crane was entirely of a personal character. The examination of witnesses commences Monday. Great interest is manifested in the case. NEW YORK. Albany, June 12, —The Typographical Convention adopted the resolutions depre cating religious and political tests to em ployment, and censuring Clapp for employ ing Douglass, who is a negro aud “ a rat,” by a vote of 47 to 37.

Louisville, June 12.-— Burial was refused by the Catholics to the Fenian officer be cause the Fenians persisted in wearing their regalia in church. FOREIGN. Cordova, Spain, June 12. —A Republi can meeting was lipid, and 50,000 persons present. Deputies from every Southern province participated and protested against a monarchy in revolutionary speeches. The Spanish aud American flags were en twined, and elicited great shouts for America and Grant. While the meeting was in session, the military and civil guard interfered, creating a panic. Women and children were trampled, and several lives lost. The crowd then barricaded the streets. A serious affray threatens. London, June 12.— The Commons post poned debate ou the Alabama claims to the 10th of July. The Lords debated the disestablishment bill. No action. The Times has an editorial on the state of affairs in Paris, which says of the crowd that demolished kiosques and sung the Marseillaise at midnight: “It is not their political power which is to be feared, but we must remember that it is a long time since a crowd has disturbed the peace of Paris—a phenomenon worthy of attention, coming, as it does, after an electiou which gave nearly half the votes of the country to the Opposition.” The Daily News has an article on the subject, saying: “ Europe must look to an independent and increasing minority in the Corps Legislatif for a cessation of armed peace in France, which will be hardly less disastrous to the interests of civilization thaji prolonged war.” Paris, July 12.—The Emperor and Em press, in an open carriage, with only their usual attendance, drove through Mont martrie District at noon and evenin» yesterday. Crowds cheered enthnsiasticab ly. Tnree editors of the Siede, and several members of Rochefort Electoral Commit tee, were arrested. Tumults in the streets continue.

The ENTIRE CAPITAL OF THIS COMPANY has been furnished by citizens of Vir ginia and Georgia. It is estimated that over TEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS are now annually sent North for LIFE INSURANCE, every dollar of which takes so much from Southern vitality. Henceforth let us keep our investments at. home, and we will again assert and maintain our supremacy. This BRANCH OFFICE oilers all inducements for Lite Insurance of a perfect Home Office, with these advantages : The Capitol is furnished, the expense of commencing operations has been incurred, the success, beyond perad venture, is established, and the whole Capital and Assets of the Home Company stand committed to sustain it. The entire management of the Piedmont is in the hands of Southern men, and its aim is to sustain Southern interests. Why, then, should Southern men place their money and the Inter ests of their wives and children in the hands of Northern men, who, you know, do not love you, and who have proved that they do not desire your prosperity, and WHOSE CHARTERS FOR BID THE INVESTMENT OK ONE CENT FOR YOUR BENEFIT? THE PIEDMONT is not only a tborough'y Southern Company, but pledges itself to invest all funds accruing in Georgia, within the State, under the direction ot Georgia gentlemen, in whose integrity you must have entire confidence. THE PIEDMONT gives 87}£ per cent- of net profits to her Policy holders ; issues Gold Poli cies to those who prefer to pay in Gold, or at Gold standard ; has already declared 40 per cent, dividend on all of its Life Policies, and, in short, offers all advantages that Southern men could ask. We, therefore, confidently appeal to Southern men to sustain an established and perma nent institution ot their own, and we cannot donbt the results. THE PIEDMONT claims to be equal in the privileges and benefits granted its patrons, to any other Company, surpassed by none, and superior to many, and only requests parties wishing to in sure not to do so until thev have examined the merits of this established Southern Company.
