Richmond Superior Court.— The Jan
uary adjourned term of Richmond Superior
Court convened yesterday morning, Judge
P. B. Robertson, of Greensboro, presiding,
Judge Garnett Andrews, who was expected
to preside, having been forced to return
home on account of indisposition
Soon after the court convened the mem
bers of the Bar held a meeting, with refer
ence to the propriety of another adjourn
ment of the court. There was a division of
views upon the question as to whether it
would not be proper, In view of the unset
tled condition of State affairs, to adjourn
the court, at least to the first Monday in
March, to await the development of mat
ters likely to affect the status of the courts.
A vote upon the question showed that
twelve members of the Bar favored ad
journment, and nine opposed the proposi
tion. Judge Robertson was accordingly
requested to adjourn the court to the first
Monday in March proximo.
Some plain verdicts were taken and four
applicants examined for admission to prac
tice. The court adjourned In the after
noon to the first Monday in March. Judge
Robertson made quite a pleasant impres
sion by his bearing and manner upon the
members of the Bar, and is a most agree
able gentleman.
Admitted to the Bar.—On yesterday
afternoon the following young gentlemen
made application to the Superior Court for
admission to the Bar : Marcell us P. Foster,
James P. Verdery, Charlton Hilyer, and
William 11. Davidson. They were subjected
to an examination more rigid than is usual,
conducted by Wiij, Hope Hull, John T.
Shewmakc, aud F. H. Miller, Esqs., Judge
Jas. 6. Hook aud the Solicitor General ;
which, however, they passed in a manner
that elicited quite a number of compliments
from the Judge and others. Before admin
istering the oath, Judge Robertson gave
the applicants some opportune and well ex
pressed advice, admonishing them of the
labor aud study required to advance a law
yer; the qualifications, virtue, honesty, and
promptness, needed for a good one; earnest
ly advised them to avoid political aspira
tions ; to be temperate, industrious, and at
tentive to their profession, to the exclusion
of all else besides. His remarks were most
judicious and forcible, reflecting credit upon
his head and heart. The applicants were
then swrtrn in as attorneys by the court.
Subtended. —We regret to learn that a
most efficient sergeant of the police force
was suspended yesterday morning—by his
“ unmentionables” from the pickets of a
gentleman’s fence on Jackson street. The
aforesaid officer, with the spirit of accom
modation for which he is noted, visited the
premises alluded to for the purpose of
arousing the proprietor in time to meet the
arrival ot the Savannah train Finding the
gate securely closed, he valoronslv mounted
the fepee, although well-picketed, and in
getting down on the iflside found himself
helplessly pinioned with his rear to the
fence. Mis lusty shouts for assistance
aroused a neighbor, who hurried lv rushed
out of his dwelling, and relieved the officer
from his.perilous position. Luckily, there
were no savage dogs to nibble our friend
while suspended, and he received no lasting
wounds.
Meeting of Railroad • Directors.—
Meetings of the Directors of the Augusta
and Hartwell and Barnwell Railroad Com
panies were held in this city yesterday.
From the reports made to the several

The surveying of the route of the Augus
ta and Hartwell proceeds (notwithstanding
the bad weather we have had) with energy,
and as soon as the same is completed the
road will be immediately put under con
tract. The parties interested in this enter
prise are determined and pushing men of
means, and see in it the great through
trunk route to the? West, that when com
pleted will result largely to the advance
ment of Augusta and the country traversed
by the roads In the scale of material wealth
and Importance.

per advertisement, commence a season of
three nights, at Girardey’s Opera House,
on Monday night next. Their advertise
ment presents a fine array of talent in the

lie drank by the employees on the premises
are required to be stamped. The acting
Commissioner has decided that according
to the act of July 13,1866, the payment of
the tax is required only on beer sold or re

so consumed is not liable to the tax.

The World Almanac.—We acknowl
edge the receipt of the New York World
Almanac for the current year. This publi
cation is a most valuable compendium of
information respecting the principal acts of
Congress at the fortieth and forty-first ses
sion, the history of reconstruction, the im
portant events of 1869, statistical matter,
&c., and is a most convenient hand-book
for the use of office PF home.

quence of the heavy rain which fell on Mon

of the Central Railroad in that city, and
saw in a rapid state of completion thc'sklA
locomotive made by that company. Jhe
News says the work npon the locomotive is
gs good as can be done in the North.
The XJXth Century. —The February
number of the XlXth Century is a very good
one. Gov. Perry continues his reminis
cences of public men. They are interesting
but rather garrulous. The same gentleman
has a rejoinder to Judge Longstreet’s caus
tic review of his Calhoun sketch. It is
short and bitter, but hardly decisive. We
expect the old Judge to come back at him
with a vengeance. W. Gilmore Simms con
tributes a very happy paper upon certain of
the old Charleston folks and temporary
residents. Among the latter, Mr. Simms
claims James G. Perclval, and several curi
ous anecdotes are told about him. The
XlXth Century for February need not be
ashamed of itself. Quite the reverse.
Odd Fellows’ Celebration. —The Odd
Fellows, of Atlanta, are making arrange
ments to celebrate, in grand style, the fifty
first anniversary of the introduction of
Odd Fellowship in America, which occurs
on the 26th day of April. An effort will

one in the history of Atlanta.
Legislative Bribe.— The Lancaster (S.
C.) ledger has it from good authority that
the Stockholders of the Georgetown and
Charlotte Railroad, paid or pledged to pay,
fifteen thousand dollars for the renewal of
their charter. What are we coming to,
when public enterprises, promising great
benefit to the people and State, have to be
engineered through our Legislatures iuthis
way?
Mrs. Nancy Holland, the mother of
Edward W. Holland, died a few days since
at the residence of the latter, in Atlanta.
She had lived to the good old age of eighty
years.

the Phoenix (Charleston) Fire Company

An Old Negro Woman Killed.— On
Sunday evening last, about seven o’clock,
an old negro woman named Lucinda Payne,
livingon Second street, near Bassett’s Hill,
in one of Mr. Torn Price’s houses, was iu
stantly killed under the following circum
stances :
It appears that her daughter Rose and a
negro woman named Jane Thomas, living
in the same house, had got into a quarrel
about cooking supper, which soon resulted
in a fight, in which Jane threw Rose on the
floor. At this, old Lucinda, about fifty
years of age interfered, in behalf of her
daughter Rose, when Jane seized the old
woman by the neck and gave her a sudden
whirl arouud and shove against the mantle
piece. Lucinda then fell upon the hearth
and partially into the fire. The two women
who had been fighting sprang forward and
drew her out on the floor, but after breath
ing twice the old woman was aeorpse—her
neck having been broken by the sudden
wrench or twist given it by Jane when
throwing her.off. Jane was arrested.

markets the Southern State bonds were

again one of the features, the new bonds
rising to 66%, while the Louisianas were
buoyant, the levee eights touching 82. The
South Carolinas continued their upward
movement; and 89 was at one time bid for
the old bonds and 87% for the new. The
closing prices were: South Carolina sixes,

Heavy Tax Sale. —The Columbus Bun
says the last Union Springs limes contains

Bullock county, offering for sale, on the
7th of March, seventy thousand acres of
land in that county for State and county
taxes for the year 1869, sixty thousand of

ry and Eufaula Railroad tracts, etc., in
that county, are included in the same ad
vertisement —the former for a delinquency

The Railroads.— The latest news from
the railroad authorities is, that a contract
for building the Blue Ridge Railroad to
ilie North Carolina line has been entered
into with responsible parties. A state
ment is also put forth that a determined ef
fort will be made to extend the Augusta
and Knoxville Road, a road that should
connect with the Blue Ridge Railroad at
this )K)int. — Keowee [B. C.) Courier.
Arrest.— Mr. Frank Higgen
botham.of this county, was arrested on the
28th ultimo, by an officer and detachment
of soldiers on duty at Darien. We learn
he was arrested at the instance of a pro
clamation issued by Governor Reed, of
Florida, some months si nee, for the killing
of a man in the eastern portion of that
State. He was taken to Darien, since
which we have heard nothing of fils where

Richmond, February B. —The Legislature
met at uoon. The House adopted a reso
lution asking Congress to remove the poli
tical disabilities of the people of Virginia,
by a vote of 109 to 10. The colored mem
bers voted for it. The negative being white
members of the Porter extreme faction. A
message from the Governor was received.
It congratulates the Legislature that they
are the lawfully constituted General As
sembly of the sovereign State of Virginia, a
State that, notwithstanding “ fundamental
conditions,” as futile as unnecessary, is co
equal in all her rights and perogatives with
any and every State in the American Union.
You and I have qualified by taking the
same oath of office, we have solemnly
pledged ourselves before, heaven to sup
port and maintain as well the Consti
tution aud laws of the United States
as of the State of Virginia; that we
recognize and accept the civil and po
litical equality of all men before the law;
aud that we will further perform our offi
cial duties to the best of our ability. A
strict and conscientious observance of this
solemn obligation will redound to the
peace and prosperity of the State, and the
vindication of just expectations of the peo
ple and our friends everywhere. It is your
duty to make the laws; mine to execute
them. Fulfil your duty, and I pledge you
a faithfnl and fearless execution of mine.
Os the State constitution, he says that its
provisions shall have fair and impartial
trial, and when, if ever, experience shall
demonstrate the inutility or impracticabil
ity of any of them, we will proceed to
make such modifications as the necessities
may demuud. The manifestation of punic
faith by others affords no justification for a
departure from the path of right by us.
The ancient and proverbial reputation of
the people of this Commonwealth for honor
and integrity will be maintained, regard
less of selfish and fanatical vituperation of
our enemies at home or abroad.
The Governor advocates the encourage
ment of immigration into the State, and
says any attempt to re-open the sores of
the war for party purposes should be
frowned down ; and concludes: “ Always a
firm and consistent Unionist, I expect to
live and die one. Beyond this, the chief
tenets of my political faith are the mainte
nance of the public faith, State and Na
tional, untarnished honesty and economy in
the administration of public affairs ; the
equalization and reduction of tariffs and
taxation to the lowest degree consistent
with the maintenance of the public credit ;
free education for all ; a fostering care, en
couragement and elevation of labor ; and
until fully, finally and permanently accom
plished, universal amnesty and impartial
suffrage. These are fundamental principles
in nry political and it matters not
what you may call them, whether Republi
can, Democratic, or liberal. So far as ap
plicable, they will be faithfully adhered to
in my administration of tfie affairs of the
State Those who agree with them will
naturally sustain and uphold the adminis
tration, while those who disagree with them
may oppose it.”
The Legislature adjourned, after fixing
Thursday next for- the election of State
Auditor, Treasurer, Secretary, &c.

sult 1 used Russel Coe’s Superphosphate, pur
chased ol you in March last, I would state: I
applied one and a half tons to twenty-two
acres, mixing the Superphosphate with the
Seed, and am sure that the result has been a
yield of at least four (4) pounds of Cotton
where I used the Superphosphate to one (1)
pound where it was not applied. My land is
light and sandy. I shall want to use the same
manure another year, and ask that you supply
the same. Yours, truly, J. A. Rich.

Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such ub Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronohitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long
series of years, and among most of the races or
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima
tion, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known as a re
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder form* of disease and to young children, it is
at the same time the most effectual remedy that can
he given far incipient consumption, and the dan
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. Asa pro
vision against sudden uttacks of Croup, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought In
curable, still great numbers of eases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured
and the patient rpsrorpq to sound health by the
Cherry Porter aI . So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When noth,
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pen.

-9 ftlwaya relieved and often wholly
cured by it,
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, or do more
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.

Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &0.,
mid indeed all the affections which arise
from malarious, marsh, or xniasmatio
poisons.
As its name implies, it does Cure, and does not
rail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bismuth,
Zute, nor any other mineral or poisonous substance
whatever, It in nowise injures any patient. The
number and importance of its cures in the ague dis
buds, are literally bevond account, and webelieve
without a parallel in the history of Ague medicine
Our pride is gratified by the acknowledgments we
receive of the radical cures effected in obstinate
cases, and where other remedies had wholly flailed.
