T. Paul's Church—Rev. Mr. Hall, of Trinity Church, Brooklyn, N. Y., will preach at this church, at 10*4 o’clock, this (Sunday) morning. Dounr.E-SiroTTEn. —Our retort, of Fri day morning, to the imputation of our friend on the other side of the street, that we had been indulging in a Rip Van Winkle nap, simply because we candidly admitted that we were not so well posted upon the record of Judge An drews as he 7 rrofessed to be, seems to have caused the gallant ex-brigadier who com mands the camp to put his whole available forces in motion. Not satisfied with a broadside from his heavy ordnance, he or ders to the front bis perambulating squirt gun, of small calibre, ’tis true, butof length ened chamber, and charged to the muzzle with canister of about the consistency of «ecoud-elass dish-water, which he proceeds to discharge, in full confidence that he will surely briug “ meat” this time. The com bination, to all thinking meu, only exhibits the necessary greg- arious habits of weak colonies to defend their Wrights , and will harilv “pass muster” as a brilliant strat egic measure of the lesser against the greater ferce, even though emanating from a distinguished General. Misapprehending the purpose of our query. “ whoever heard of anything in mo tion being still ?” the ten-inch colnmbiad of our eotemporary is loaded to the muzzle with rusty shot, cast by such well recog nized founders as Addison, Pope, Sir Wil~ liain Temple, Milton, Shakspeare, and last, but not least, (in their own estimate,) the writers on the Chronicle arid Sentinel, and deliberately fired in our face with as much earnestness as though it was bombarding Gibraltar. It surely did not require a sur gical operation to demonstrate to even babe -and sucklings, subsisting on “ weak tea and arrow root,” that the grammar of our friend had been critically attacked in downright, earnest, however exposed It may have been. The query was simply designed as u quiz. It was only put fortli as a pre cocious and curious youth once accounted for hi> apparent simplicity In putting thirty goose eggs under a “ setting ” turkey hen —he wanted to “ see her spread herself.” That youth succeeded, and so have we. T<> answer the explosion of the squirt gun, s' 1 a mere flank nihtfter, we shall ex pend but Jittle of our axmwtinition. With reference to its shot “ that the only thing in common between the articles on the fire men’s prizes which appeared in the two papers, was that both of them contained a list of the different prizes which are on public exhibition, with the tickets attach ed,” we have simply to remark that the identical language of description employed by the ConstitutionAT-TST, by some myste rious means, finds its way into the Chroni cle and Sentinel of tlie following morning, clearly indicating that the compositor was not annoyed with illegible manuscript to at least that extent. Concerning the charge that the Constitutionalist, some time sicce, published a long table of crime sta tistics, previously 7 published in the Chroni cle and Sentinel, “ without a particle of credit,” we are called upon to say that the Constitutionalist gave the credit where it belonged—to Orderly Sergeant Walsh, who compiled the* table, and from whom we received it In manuscript, even before the local representative of the Chronicle and Sentinel saw it. The fact of Its not appearing on the same day is due to its being held as matter that would “ keep,” to the accommodation of more important items. If the local perambulator of our co temporary is not satisfied with this ex planation, we will “ switch ” him—off on the “Green Line,” as an anti-soporofle, or in order to furnish him with a schedule for his slow coach equal to the demands of the age. The “ Guises Link ” —What It 13 and Who Control It. —The recent excursion has occasioned the inquiry among a good many of our cititizens, “ What is the Green Line ?” It is a co-operative freight line from Cincinnati to Savanuah, composed of the following railroads: Louisville and Nashville, Nashville and Northwestern Nashville and Chattanooga, Western and Atlantic, which is intersected by the Selma, Rome and Dalton, at Kingston, and will b« completed in a few months, the Georgia, South Carolina, Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta, Macon and Western, Macon and Brunswick, Atlantic and Gulf, Atlanta and West Point, and Montgomery and West Point Railroads. These roads have signed the compact which takes freight from Cincinnati to Sa vannah direct without change of cars. The distances are: Cincinnati to Louisville, by the Short Line, 107 miles; Louisville to Nashville, 185 miles ; Nashville to Chatta nooga, 151 miles ; Chattanooga to Atlanta, 138 miles ; Atlanta to Macon, 103 miles ; Macon to Savannah, 302 miles ; total, 886 miles from Cincinnati to Savannah. Before the Green Line was established, four years ago, Southern and Western mer chants were obliged so pay a much heavier freightage, besides having to wait four times as long for returns. A through bill of lading could not be obtained. Each road collected its local freight, and it required from one to two weeks’ time to deliver them. By the Green Line (a term of desig nation merely, the cars being painted green) freights reach the same points in from four to six days, shippers receive a through bill of lading, and the rates are less by ten per cent, than by the old route. Girardby’s Opera House, Etc.—A large audience assembled, last evening, to wit ness Mr. Warner’s rendition of Richard 111. Mr. Warner did not seem mncli humped, and anythingfbnt crooked; on the contrary, he looked lik&a very handsome man, and shapely withal, in consequence of this, the language descriptive of Oloster’s de formity seemed a little paradoxical. In every other respect his conception of the fiery, subtle, unscrupulous and supersti tious character of Richard was in the best style of the art. His voice, too, seemed un der better command than it was early in the week, and therefore his great talents had a more thorough epportunlty for their perfect expression. We consider Richard as among the most powerful of his roles. Mr. O’Neil, as Richmond, was received with great favor and performed admirably. Parker ditto. Miss Alexander as Lady Anne looked and acted charmingly. Miss Lillie Eldridge, as Queen Elizabeth, and Mrs. Eldridge, as the Duchess of York were very effective, and made of their char acters all that could be made of them. The subordinate parts were creditably performed, but the audience, from habit, could not help laughing at Sam Ryan in spite of all the dignity he assumed as the Lord Mayor. , In parting with this company,, werwish them, in the name of the public, great suc cess wherever they may go, and a safe re turn to Augusta, some of these days'. We are not advised, definitely, ns to the future of our dramatic season, but hear that Jefferson, and possibly Owens, will visit us. These are the greatest comedians, by long odds, on the American stage, but their charges qre prodigious, in spite of the enormous wealth they have both amassed. In consideration of the auld lang syne in Augusta, Joe Jefferson should make it pos sible for us to get a glimpse of him as Rip Van Winkle, and, in consideration of the hearty welcome he has always commanded at the South, John E. Owens ought to fol low suit. Os course, business is business, even with rich actor -,, but remembering what the South has endured, find what she still endures, these distinguished hlstrions should relax a little in their fee bill, and mulct the patient according to the length of his purse. This week, we hear, there is to be a breathing spell, and, during Lent, there will be no discount on exclusive piety. Before it is too late, Mr. Girardey should have a complimentary benefit. Would it not be a good idea to start that ball at once ? New Steam Line To New York. —ln our advertising columns will be found the business card of Mr. Wm. A. Courtenay, late senior partner of the well known ship ping firm of Courtenay & Trenholm, Charleston, 8. C., who announces his inten tion of continuing on his own account the shipping and general commission business at No. 1, Union Wharves, Charleston, S. C., in connection with the agency of the new steam line to New York on Thursdays. Mr. Courtenay is a frequent visitor to our city, and has a large and Influential circle of friends here who will be pleased to hear of his business plans as announced. We have conversed several times during the past two years with him and have always found him a strong advocate of an all rail connection between the wharves of Charles ton and the waters of the Ohio and Mis sissippi, a measure full of large results to the seaport of Charleston and demanded by the business communities great cot ton belt now in close connection by rail j with that City, and we learn soon to be realized. Mr. Courtenay maintains that Charleston harbor is hilly up to the re quirements of the West, and demonstrates his views by inviting attention to the two new iron steamships Tennessee and South Carolina, of which he is the agent, each capable of moving 3,000 bales of cotton on 11 feet draft of water. When it is well known that. 16 feet of water Is available on the Charleston bar every day in the year. There ought to be no longer nuy doubt as to the availability of that seaport, when the fact is before us that steam vessels on 11 feet draft carry 600 tons of cotton in one cargo. We wish Mr. Courtenay'a lull measure of success, and think, with commodious steamships and car-loads of freight going down to the wharves without breaking bulk, his busiuess ought to grow largely. Residence Robbed.— During Friday night the residence of Mr. Peter Keenan, on Walker street, was robbed by some of ‘he tar-fingered gentry now in circulation in the city. On awaking yesterday morn ing, Air. Keenan discovered his clothing lying in a disordered manner, indicating that during his slumbers an unlicensed liberty had been taken with his apparel. A closer examination revealed the fact that his gold watch (small double case, No. 33,935, and the words “ railroad time-keep er ” in red letters, on the face) had been ab r stracted from his pocket, and also a few dollars in currency. No clue exists to trace the thief, and i|t is presumed that the operator secreted himself in the house before Mr. K. retired, anti decamped with his spoils between lights. Burglary. —There seeuia to be no doubt that the city is infested with burglars, who are cutting up “ high jinks.” In addition to the robbery of a gentleman, noticed in another paragraph, we learn the residence of Mr. L. P. Ashby, corner of Greene' and Houston streets, was entered by some of the profession on Friday night. They struck a light, to search for plunder, but decamped without their object. Look to your bars and bolts, and don’t neglect to examine the closets and under the beds. The latter precaution is not intended for young ladies, who invariably look for “the man under the bed” before consigning themselves to the arms of Morpheus. Butlerization. —Emulous of the suc cess of cock-eyed Benjamin, a negro girl, named Martha Johnson, yesterday morn ing, manipulated a couple of silver forks and a bed-blanket, the property of Mr. Isaac Blanckensee, with whom she was in service, and spirited them away to a de pository outside of the corporate limits. — Suspected of the theft, she was interviewed by a police officer, when she confessed the crime and revealed the whereabouts of the articles, which were recovered. She was arraigned before Justice Ells, yesterday afternoon, upon a charge of larceny from the house, found guilty, apd sentenced to three months on the public works. Arms to be Taken Away.—A Columbia (S. C.) correspondent states that Gen. John B. Depnis has beep ordered by the Govern or to proceed to Tutt and Wilson’s pre cinct, on Four Mile Branch, Upper Three Bans, Barnwell county, to take charge pf ninety-si? stands of arms in the possession of W. Newmos, who is considered an im proper person. It Is understood that this has beep dope at the urgent solicitation of the inhabitants. La Bus’s Minstrels.— We received a visit, yesterday evening, from a ton of good hnmor and jollity, labelled by nature with the very truthful sobriquet of “ Phat Boy,” who seems to “ lard the earth ” with pleas antry, as he rolls around in the prosecution of his duties as advance agent of La Rue’s Minstrels, a company of “ burnt «eork ” dramatists, now en route to Geogia. This company is highly endorsed by the Rich mond press, where they have recently per formed for a full week to crowded houses, affording perfect satisfaction to the most refined audiences. Their entertainments are represented as of a "higher order of merit than usually attaches to minstrel companies. They will be in Augusta on the 14th, 15th and 16th. So, economize your greenbacks, to witness something worth seeing. Painful Accident.— Master John Colt ers, aged about ten years, was seriously wounded yesterday, abont 6, p. m., at the Georgia Railroad depot. The particulars of the accident, as we learn, are these: A freight train had come to a stand in-front of the platform, and the youth, standing on the platform, had his hands on the door of the cab car, when a sudden start of the locomotive broke his hold on the car, and his body swung round, he falling on the track, the wheels of the car passing over his extremities, injuring both feet, the left knee, left hand and right elbow. It was thought by the physicians attending him, that amputation of the left leg and right arm would be necessary. Georgia Home Insurance Company— Among the many companies claiming.and entitled to the patronage of our home peo ple, none outrank the “ Georgia |lome,” which, under the safe and excellent man agement by which its operations are guid ed, continues to grow in popularity as its circle of business steadily increases. Mr. A. G. Hall, of accomplished experience iu the insurance business, is the Augusta agent, and will promptly and cheerfully supply all information desired beyond his advertisement, in another column, to which we direct special notice. Street Car Accident. —Yesterday after noon, during the trial of the steamer Fill more, the horse of a passing street car be came somewhat unmanageable, so that the driver ‘could not prevent the car being rushed against a little boy (whose name is given to us as Johnny Platt) who happened to be standing very near the track, watch ing the performance qf the engine. The little boy was struck on the jaw by the car and knocked down, receiving painful, though not serious injury. River News. —The heavy and continued rain on Friday seems to have extended up the Savannah river, judging from the swollen tide of that stream yesterday. Since 5 o’clock Friday afternoon to 3, p. m., yes day, the river marked a rise of 11 feet— registering at the city bridge, at the latter hour, 19 feet 6 inches, resting upon a stand at these figures. Recorder’s Court. —Yesterday morn ing, Henry Smith (colored) was arraigned for violation of the 18th section. Plead guilty and fined $5 and cost, or ten days on the chain gang. Moses McDuffie (colored) was arraigned for violation of the 18th section, and dis missed on payment of cost. Spring and Hdumeu Importations.— The old and popular house of Armstrong, Cator & Cos., Baltimore, advertise their Spring aud Summer stock of straw and millinery goods, etc. This house needs no commendation in Georgia or in the South, with which it has for so many years main tained such perfectly agreeable relations. Marked Stidi, Lower. —Mr. Christo pher Gray has made further reductions in the prices of his goods, and will devote the present week to the service of his patrons in supplying their wants from his stock at such figures as cannot fail to satis fy. See advertisement. Special Bargains.— Mr. James A. Gray is now offering special bargains ip dry goods, which should receive the prompt consideration of all who desire to invest in the articles specially designated in his ad vertisement, to be found in another column. Personal. —The Charleston Courier re ports Mrs. Henry J. |tayfr,oi)d ant} her daughter, and the family of Hon. Ben. Wood, among the passengers by the steam ship Charleston, which arrived there from New York on Thursday night. They are at the Charleston Hotel, Railroa® AccißKiiT-—4 colored man named Wash, an employee of the South Carolina Railroad, whilst coupling some cars yesterday afternoon, was severely mashed. The attending physician con siders his injuries quite serious, though not necessarily fatal. In MEijrfOßiAM.—Mrs. Sal lie Hammond, widow of Coi. Leßoy Hammond, both of them prominently and honorably identified with the history of Edgefield District from its earliest days, is- dead, in her 88th year. Test of Capacity. —Fillmore Fire En gine was out yesterday afternoon on a pre liminary trial for practice with reference to the cqntest on the 23d. Performance satis factory. Hon. John Foster.— We regret to learn that the Hon. John Foster, who has been, for many months, a spfferer, is now in a very critical condition. From Atlanta. —The Constitution , yesterday, has the following items : We learn that anew Democratic journal is projected in Atlanta, by a stock com pany. We learn that Capt. W- G. Newman will commence finishing up the Stone Mountain Hotel next week. We learn that Gov. Bnlloek and several others left for Washington City last night. Messrs. Editors ; I’l ease publish the following letter, which I received, unsolicited, a few days ago, from a lady I have never seen.

Edgefield District, 8. C., ) February 2, 1870. j Miss Lucy J. Read : x Dear Madam : The Grover & Baker Sewing Machine my husband bought of you in April, 1869, has worked well up to the present time; has never been out of fix yet. I have worked by your instruction book, with no one to teach me how to nse the machine, and have got along very well. 1 don’t know what better sewing machine any person would want than the Gro ver $ Baker.

Having seen the effect of it on a friend ol mine, 1 am lully satisfied that it has bnt to be tried to establish its merits. It works like magic. What is your wholesale price delivered iu New York ? Let me know where it can be had, for the present, in New York, and I will communi cate farther with you at auother time. Very truly, yours, W. H. Barron, 96 Summer St., Boston. EARLY MORN.—Thousands of both sexes, in this conntry, awake every morning languid, uurefreshed, and devoid of all inclination for breakfast. No matter from what cause these indescribable feelings may proceed, their best and quickest remedy will be lound in a dose of Plantation Bitters. The beneficial effect is immediate. The stomach at once re sponds to the genial influence ‘of the prepara tion, and a reserve of latent vitality, which only required the awakeuirg agency of this potent invigorant to render it active, is brought into play. Os all appetizers it is the most in fallible, and the impulse which it imparts to the digestive functions soon puts dyspepsia to flight.

The matter was finally re ferred to a subcommittee of Senators— Buckingham and Kellogg. GEORGIA. Atlanta, February s.— The oldest and most influential Democratic journal iu the State of Georgia, always opposing the re construction policy of Congress, comes out to-day in a bitter protest against the self constituted delegation to Washington, headed by Bryant, who, without any au thority from the people, seeks to stir up strife and keep Georgia out of the Union ; to have reconstruction done over and en tail on the people the enormous expense of going through what she has gone through for tlie third time, in the earnest efforts of the people to comply with the demands of Congress ; that every, interest of the State demands that reconstt'nct.ion be considered hy Congress as perfected ip Georgia ; that men of property, tax payers, labor, enter prise and every other interest of the State demands that a stop be put to the schemes of the so called Bryant Democracy ; that the great, mass of the people of the State receive the recent acts as a final settlement of the reconstruction issue, and the great body of Democrats in thp State do not sus tain the movement of Bryant and the com mittee to overthrow what has been done. NORTH CAROLINA. Wilmington, February s —Last night was one of the most terrible ever expe rienced here, a cold rain falling and a fear ful storm raging all night. Thus far, four marine disasters are reported off our coast, all occurring yesterday. The schooner Eleanor, ft otn Baltimore, with » cargo of fertilizers, consigned to 0). G. Paisley & Cos., in this city, went ashore at 4, p. m., a few miles north of Fort Fisher, and Imme diately went to pieces. Five meu, sup posed to be her entire crew, were drowned. When the vessel broke up, these five men were seen clinging to portions of the wreck, but In five minutes all were washed off by heavy sea and lost. The otl|or three ves sels were tne schooner Samuel C. Eborn, Capt. Farrow, Hyde county; schooner Racer, Capt. Hatched, Elizabeth City, and ■the schooner Ray, Hyde county, all having cargoes of corn consigned to merchants here. It is not known definitely, but.some hopes are entertained of saving some of the latter. No reports have yet been received of the result of the terrible gale of last night, bnt it is feared there was a fearful loss of ves sels and life. . NEW YORK. New York, February s.— The News says a rumor reached the police last night of an attempt to be made on the life of Prince Arthur. An officer was detailed to watch the Prince’s party as they proceeded from the Brevoort House to the residence of Judge Stoughton, Fifth avenue and Seven teenth street. A party of ruffians, station ed neas» the Brevoort House, approached the officer, drew their revolvers and told him to leave. The officer got reinforce ments, returned and attacked the ruffians. After a severe fight., the police arrested Wm. Murphy, Pat Mulhide, Charles Gardiner, John Lough and Michael McNulty. Lough is gn Englishman, and Gardiner a native of Yonkers. The party refused to make an explanation of their conduct. They will be arraigned before the Police Court on a charge of assaulting the officers, there not being sufficient proof to establish a con spiracy against the Prince. Mr. Stoughton, of Prince Arthur’s party, denies the assassination story. LOUISIANA.

READ WHAT PLANTERS SAY OF “ RUS SEL COE’S SUPERPHOSPHATE.”—IA certificate published daily.] B ethane, Ga , September 9,1869. Gentlemen : Your favor of 18th August was duly received, but having been absent from home at the time ot its receipt, and wishing to make some observations during the drought through which we have been passing, delayed answering until the present time. I used the Superphosphate at the rate of 150 to 180 lbs. per acre, putting Cotton Seed and the Superphosphate in the drill at the same •time. Where the manure was used the increase in the yield was lrom 100 to 150 per cent.; in fact, in some poor lands, withont fertilizers, there are a great many stalks without any bolls, while by their side, where the Superphosphate has been used, there are from ten to fifteen bolls on each stalk. Yours, truly, 8. Z. MURPHY. feb6-l BARGAINS. SILK, VELVET ANI> t Beaver Vests, Will be sold very low, at A. T. Gray’s. an2B eodlm *• FERTILIZERS, By POLLVKD, COX A CO. AUGUSTA PRICKS: L. S.

Ayer’s Hair Vigor, For restoring Gray Hair to its natural Vitality and Color. tA dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair is soon restored Thin hair is thick ened, falling hair checked, and bald ness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi ment, it will keep it clean, and v igorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a v HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long or the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Cos., Practical and Analytical Chemists, MASS. 'JUICE $l.O0 v Jaul-eodAcly
