Arrest and Conviction of Female Vagrants. —For months past, on Bridge Row. between Broad and Reynolds streets, there lias been kept in full blast a den of the most vicious character which depraved and bestial negro men and women could originate in their disgusting and abandoned inodes of life. It has been the centre of vice around which revolved all the ele ments of moral depraivty contingent upon the abandoned life of the negro women who have given it attraction for the sensual and libidinous purposes of a gang of negro men wlio rioted in the perpetration of every conceivable wickedness. • This establish ment Jiad spread its cancerous blight throughout the community, and was exer cising"a most debasing influence in prmnot i„g every grade of theft among the negro men who were induced to visit the infa inous house. Not unfre.'juently have sim ple and unsuspecting country negroes been duped into visiting this den, but to dis cover themselves turned loose without a cent in pocket, and no means at their com mand to trace the crime of the robbery to the guilty party, so thoroughly practiced lit Ihe art were those who maintained the ■establishment. In tills den the negroes were thrown together as so many cattle, and with more regard to public decency than hi observed by wild beasts in the jungles of the forest, and that, too, on a public thoroughfare, within a stone’s throw of Broad street. Night after night they h ave sought to partially cover the iniquity of their den by giving public balls, at which under city regulations, policemen were required to attend. But the evil influences growing out of these comminglings were fast crop ping out in I lie still more abandoned be havior of the wretched females who made it their rendezvous and who were periodi cally coursing the streets in the defiant prosecution of their infamous purposes, offending the ears of citizens with their coarse, rude and vulgar language. .So glaring and apparent, became this evil, that, yesterday morning, Lieutenant Walsh, of the police force, made a descent upon the house alluded to and arrested three of the dusky denizens, Dicey Jefferson, Flora Adams and Alice Scott. They were carried before Justice Ells and arraigned for trial on a charge of vagrancy and profligate conduct. After a full examination, each of the colored damsels was found guilty of the charge, and fined S3O each, or four months’ imprisonment of the two first named and six months of the latter. Now that the police.have moved in this matter and succeeded in overhauling a few of the profligate and abandoned negro women who have heretofore made night hideous with their unblushing vice, we trust that others who are iu the same lewd practices, both on Bridge Row and in other public quarters of the city, will be ferret ted out and held to the punishment they likewise deserve. The evil has be come too palpable and offensive to the pub lic eye aud ear to be longer tolerated, and its abatement can in no way be so certainly and easily effected as through the efforts oi our police force. Let these custodians of the good order of the city, then, continue in the good work which they have com menced, assured that in its prosecution they are sustained by the hearty approval of all good citizens. Severely Kicked by a Mule.—Yes terday morning, at the hill at Butler’s creek, a negro man, in the employ of Mr. John Keener, who was ou his way to the city with a wagon, in which was seated the wife And child of Mr. Keener, received a severe kicking from the mule which he was driving. In coming down the hill, a portion of the harness became disarranged, which excited the mule, ftiid caused its heels to come iu repeated contact with the sliius of the driver, from which the flesh was badly torn. On his right leg a place as large as a man’s hand was exposed to the bone. After reaching the city, his wounds were dressed by a physician, and he was enabled to return home. Mrs. Kee ner and her child received no injury. Fresh Meats.— John P. Foster, at the head of the Lower Market, advertises his grand display of meats for Saturday morn ing and evening. He promises that his articles shall be of the very best, at prices suitable to the times, and of a freshness proof against the heat of the weather. Bobtock Discharged— The preliminary examination of Samuel Bostock, for the alleged murder of J. T. Maloney, which has been progressing in Atlanta for several days, terminated on Wednesday evening in the discharge of the defendant on the pay ment of the costs. Our First Bai.es. —The first bale of new cotton received iu Augusta from the pres ent crop, reached the City per the Central Railroad, yesterday morning, consigned to Messrs. James M. Dye & Cos. It was from the plantation of Mr. John Attaway,Burke county, and classed as middling, weighed 485 pounds, and was purchased by Mr. John L. Fleming, at 35 cents per pound. The second bale of which we have been advised comes from a plantation near this city, and was consigned to Mr. C. H. Phin izy. This bale was classed as strict New York middling, weighed 350 pounds, and was also purchased by Mr. John L. Flem ing > at 40 cents per pound. The Round Tabt.e and Citizen. —The New York Citizen and Round Table has recently, on its sixth anniversary, made its appearance in anew form. The consoli dated journal consists of twenty-four quarto pages of three columns each, and is one-lialf larger than when it appeared in its former shape. The Citizen and Round Ta ble is printed on fine white paper with elear, readable type, presents an attractive ap pearance, and contains *au agreeable vari ety of reading matter and interesting edi torials. New CftTTON from Burke County.— The Savannah Republican states that Messrs. L. J. Guilmartin & Cos. received on Tuesday last a bale of new upland cotton from the plantation of A. Meyers & Cos., at Millen, Burke county. The staple weighed four hundred and fifty pounds, classed as good ordinary, and was purchased by J. K. Garmany, of that city, for thirty" cents— Last year Messrs. A. Meyers & Cos. sent a new bale to Messrs. L. J. Guilmartin & Cos., on the 26th of August, which was sold for twenty-eight cents. The Savannah and Charleston Rail road. —The Charleston News is informed that eight hundred men' are now at work upon this important railroad, that the Sa vannah river bridge is already building, and that ere long the hands will be work ing simultaneously on both ends of the road. The track has already been laid to a point some miles beyond Grahamviile, and there is good reason for thinking that the road will he opened throughout before the new year comes in. Recorder’s Court.— ln the Recorder’s Court,'yesterday, the following cases were disposed of: George Cochran—Violation of the 18th section, in assaulting a woman, Martha Sharp. Plead not guilty. Convicted, and fined $5 and cost, or ten days on the chain gang. Susan Jackson and Alice Palmer (color ed) —Violation of the 18th section, in using hard language to each other. Dismissed, on payment of costs. Cotton Seed Oil Manufactory. —We observe that books of subscription to the capital stock of a cotton seed oil manu facturing company have been opened at Edgefield Court, House and the Pine House. The manufactory is to be located at or near Columbia, and is said to be under the pa tronage of Gen. E. P. Alexander, Col. Win. Wallace, and other prominent gentlemen of that city. Shares are rated at SIOO. Canning Fruit. —Messrs.

They can, however, prevent their names being published by payment to-day and to-morrow. Personal.— VVe were yesterday favored with a visit from Mr. James A. Wright, of the Washington Gazette, who is in the city in the interest of his journal, which enjoys a good circulation in a section of country which gives a large trade to Augusta. Col. N. G. Foster. —The Greensboro J feral J, of yesterday, reports that Col. N. G. Foster is still lying very low, with lit lie prospect for his recovery. A WRONG IMPRESSION CORRECTED. Many persons believe that- there is no value in anything that does not from “the North.” How humiliating I However, this impression is being gradually corrected— It. is now admitted that no remedial agent has ever been discovered, North or South, that posesses, in so eminent a degree, the power of eradicating from the system all foul distem tier, as DR. TUTT’S SARSA PARILLA AND QUEEN’S DELIGHT— The secret is,' it assists nature to do this through its own channels. It is composed of vegetable substances alone, every one of which grows on Southern soil. It is the BLOOD PURIFIER OF THE AGE. aul7-d&clw Messrs. P. H. Drake & Cos., proprietors of the Plantation Bitters, arc said to be the largest importers of St. Croix Rum and Calisaya Bark in America. The Rum im ported by this Firm is all used in the pre paration of their Bitters, and is manufat* tured under the immediate supervison of one of their agents, upon leased plantations on the Island of St. Thomas. Over nine thousand puncheons, about one million gallons, is used annually for their Bitters alone. The Calisaya Bark is all imported from Brazil, and is also gathered and select ed by the Datives, under the supervision of an agent sent ont for that purpose: Tiie cures produced by these Bitters are wonder ful. Magnolia Water. —Superior to the best imported German Cologne, and sold at half the price. aul7-d&clw Pretty Women—A comparatively few Ladies monopolize the Beauty as well as the attention of Society. This ought not to be so, but it is ; and will be while men are foolish, and single out pretty faces for companions. This can all be changed by using Hagan’s Magnolia Balm, which gives the Bloom of Youth and a Refined sparkling beauty to the Complexion, pleasing, powerful and natural. No Lady need complain of a red, tanned, freckled or rustic Complexion who will in vest 75 cents in Hagan’s Magnolia Balm. Its effects are truly wonderful. To preserve and dress the Hair use Lyon’s KathairoD- aul7-eod&clm Wheat is pouring into Richmond from all portions of Virginia. Two mills, Gallego and Haxal’s are running day apd night, and turning out six thousand barrels of flour every twenty-four hours. Ex-Chief Detective Wood on the Tur ner Case. —Colonel W. P. Wood, who was recently dismissed from his position as Chief of the Secret Service Division of the Treasury Department, has published in pamphlet form several letters addressed to Secretary Boutwell and Solicitor Bantield. From these we make the following extract: THE CASE OF TURNER, THE NEGRO POST- „ • . MASTER. “ I believe you are aware that I have written a communication (.July i28,1869) to Mr. Boutwell, which has lieen published in pamphlet form, in which allusion is made to the case of Turner, the Georgia Post master. It might, be inferred from said communication that I desired to convey *tlie idea that Turner is innocent in con nection with said notes. Such is not the fact, as Turner was a resident of Washing on, and for some time previous to liis ap pointment was a coustant visitor at the house of Schureman, and in my opinion Turner obtained from Schureman, the stolen money alluded to, whjch bore the signatures forged by the messenger Schure man, and Turner received the money, knowing the character thereof, with the intention to put it upon the public. “ The tenor of Turner’s correspondence with Rev. S. B. Jones (another American preacher of African descent), a copy of which I send you (w’hich is unfit for publi cation), in connection with the other sur roundings of .the man Turner, warrants me in asserting that a more unfit, person for the appointment of postmaster at Ma con, Ga., could not have been selected. I believe the operative of the Division who made the arrest did not proceed in the case as he would have done had he possessed the information that was on file in the Di vision. This should have been promptly furnished him by your Chief of Division, instead of permitting Mr. Neil to blunder in supposing that the money was either counterfeit or that it had been forged by this man Turner, the American preacher postmaster of African descent. By these remarks I am not to be understood as one who believes there are no honest, faithful and reliable Americans of African descent; but I allude to this specific case to show the political mismanagement of the powers that be in the appointment of Turner as postmaster at Macon, Ga.—an outrage to an intelligent people who, misguided by politicians and accursed with the pollution of slavery, were led into the horrors and devastations of a civil war. To these— our people, our brethren—we should of fer, on the altar of conciliation, every fair and honorable concession calcu lated to draw them to us, with a guarantee that their reasonable require ‘ments for self-government, in conformity with the Constitution of our country, shall be fully awarded to them, instead of put ting such unworthy and objectionable char acters as Turner in responsible positions in their commumiy, thus outrageously insult ing a people by forcing upon them the theoretical teachings of Massachusetts politicians, when the masses of the citizens of Massachusetts take especial good care that Boutwell and others of his kind are not allowed to place the negro in office in Massachusetts. But to return to my sub ject. As I before stated, the money was stolen from the Treasury Department by Schureman, and the signatures of the bank officers forged thereto by hiiq ; and I arn satisfied from Turner’s Surroundings in Washington that the money was obtained by him with criminal intent, lie knowing the same to have been stolen and the sig natures to have been forged by his friend Schureman. 1 cut from a Republican pa per published at Macon, Ga., the following paragraph: “ ‘Captain C. C. Niel, the wide awake Treasury Agent, who has done more ser vice for the Government than any officer that ever came to Macon, has been relieved from duty because he tried to bring Turner to justice. Tip) powers that be, it seems, wish to shield eriipe, aqd therefore have no use for an honest and actiye officer.’ “ Thus it appears that Ml’. Neil was dis missed. The arrest was an important one, and hail your subordinates or yourself pos sessed sufficient intelligence to comprehend the subject, and have given Mr. Neil the support necessary to enable a successful and proper prosecution of the ease, the re sult would have been beneficial to the Gov ernment. This you failed to do, and Mr. Neil is dismissed tor daring to institute proceedings against the negro postmaster.’’ [ From the-Mae >n Journal an l Measenger. Horrible Outrage by Negroes. We learq from a gentleman who is en gaged it) laying oijt the railroad track on the new Brunswick Road, that on Thursday last two respectable young girls residing near Station 14, upon the Central Road, were ou thalr way home from school, when they were overtaken by two stout negroes, who immediately seized them, and despite tlieir screams for aid, committed a diabolical outrage. Having effected this brutal deed of violence, ppe of the negroes, who had but one arm, shook the mutilated stump of the other in the face of the oldest of the two girls, and exclaimed : “ 1 wants my re venge, and I’m bound to have it. When I belonged to your father I ran away, he fol lowed me to the woods and shot me, and I iiatl to lose this arm ;do you see it ? Now I’m bound to get even with him,” and drawing his pocket knife, he severed her arm entirely from her body, between tiie wrist and elbow joint- r pi:e two scoundrels then broke away and rail for the woods. Very fortunately the girls had presence of mind enough to tie the mutilated arm tightly above the elbow, until medical aid could be procured, and it is barely possible that the young sufferer’s life may be spared. The news of this deed of violence ran like wild-fire all through the neighbor hood, and in a short time a mounted patrol was organized, who volunteered to go in pursuit of the scoundrels. They soon found one of them, whom they questioned right sharply, but some how or other the negro got lost somewhere in the swamp, and the party returned home without him. The other, and by far ti;e worst of the two, succeeded. In escaping from that neighborhood, and made hit? way toward Macon. We are informed that a negro an swering his description was seen at a place known as Sandy Bottom on Sunday nigfet last, and yesterday the police were in hot search after him, a reward of five hundred dollars having been offered for his capture. The following is a pen and ink portrait of the villian, as he has been described to us by those acquainted with his person: The man goes by the name of “Bob.” He is about lire feet ten inches or six feet high, of a ginger cake complexion, solid and compact in his build, and very quick spoken when addressed. His right arm has been cut off at the shoulder joint, and he lost his left eye. He has also a well de fined scar upon his left cheek. It, is to be hoped that the Governor of the State will offer the customary reward for bis apprehension, ftjr he is too danger ous a negro to be permitted to be at large. If captured In this city the negro will probably be brought before a jury of twelve men to answer for his crimes. New Louisiana Rice.— The New Or leans Picayune of Saturday, the 14lh inst., says : We have received from Mr. M. Bar rois a sample of new hulled rice, which was grown on Mr. Seraphin Soultant’s planta tion in the parish of Plaquemines. This rice is of the species called “bearded,” and the grains are large, full, unbroken and beautifully white. Thisia the first of the new crop that has been received, and we learn there is a certainty of an immense yield in this State. Hitherto too little at tention has been paid to rice culture in Louisiana, but henceforth we imagine the productions of this valuable grain will rapidly increase. A Beau Killed.— A large bear was kill ed on Sunday, the Bth inst., about six miles from Conwayboro’, S. 0., by Jackson Fow ler, Everett Watts and others. The Horry News says he had been killing hogs in the neighborhood, and was routed up, and all the dogs in the vicinity put after him.— The chase is reported as a fine one. The bear weighed oue hundred and sixteen pounds net weight. «No Thanks eor a Demijohn of Whisky.” —A certain “demijohn of whisky” has been running a long time in the Georgia press, and apparently creating dis content.

Eleven million of ten-forties have been substituted for other national bank securi ties since the promulgation of the order permitting the substitution. It is rumored that 250 men departed southward recently, en route for Cuba. PENNSYLVANIA. Philadelphia, August 19.—A recent in terview with General Lee regarding the proposed meeting of the generals of both armies at Gettysburg next week, for identi fication of the battle field, leads to the be lief that Lee will eventually attend—not that he wholly approves ol the measure, but regarding the meeting as a- foregone conclusion, he thinks his presence due to the men he commanded, as the meeting will be historic, and because he desires to avoid the misconstruction which would )>e placed upon his refusal by the enemies of reconstruction. Miss Anthony was finally excluded, as a delegate, frpm the Labor Convention by a vote of 63 to 28.

San Francisco, August 19. —Colfax, Sen ator Stewart, and others, have appealed to Bout well to allow drafts on the Sub-Treas urer in New York to relieve the money stringency here. The appeal is unanswer ed. It has transpired that Boutwell per mitted one firm here to draw funds from the San Francisco Sub-Treasury, thus tak ing advantage of public necessity. Boot well’s action is denounced by the press, and creates iudignatiqu in tl|e entire commu nity . Four ships cleared yesterday for liver pool, with 132,000 sacks of wheat.
