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 Boards, the early completion of these roads can be safely expected.' 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. The Right to Destroy Gambling Im plements.—The Massachusetts Supreme Court, on the question of the right to de stroy gambling implements, seized by legal process, has decided that the owners of such articles can not constitutionally be deprived of them without notice, actual or constructive, and an opportunity to .be heard, and the conrt cannot lawfully cause them to be destroyed without giving reason able notice to the owner, personally if known, or by advertisement if not known, as circumstauces will permit; also, that money seized upon such warrant aud re turned into court is not by any statute made subjeet to forfeiture.

La Rue’s Minstrels.— This company, to which we have already referred, will, as per advertisement, commence a season of three nights, at Girardey’s Opera House, on Monday night next.

No Tax on Free Beer.— The question has just been submitted to the internal revenue officer whether packages of beer that are ordinarily set apart in breweries to 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 moved for consumption, and therefore beer so consumed is not liable to the tax. Lecture on China and the Chinese at St. Paul’s Church. —The Rev. Elliot H. Thomson, a native of Virginia, and Missionary'- of the Protestant Episcopal Church to China, wl\pre he has resided for some ten years, will preach on the subject of his mission to-night, in St. Paul’s Church, services beginning at 7% o’clock. A collection will be made for missions to China. 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. River News. —Asa legitimate conse quence of the heavy rain which fell on Mon day aud Monday night, the riVer experi enced rise of three feet since our last re port.

The prisoner was found guilty and fined fifteen eSnts and the cost—the latter being the heaviest part of the penalty, the expense of Sarah’s belliger ency amounting to $lO 10. Bridge Completed.—The last span of the bridge over the Ohio river, at Louis ville, was completed on Monday afternoon. The length of the bridge, exclusive of ap proaches, is one mile. It has two main spans of three hundred and seventy feet, and another of four hundred feet, and a draw over the channel. The time occupied in its construction was two years and six months. Personal. —We were pleased to meet Col. John R. Prescott, the worthy Solicitor General for the Middle -Circuit, on yester day. He was at his post on the opening of court prepared to represent the State in all criminal matters. Col. E. H. Pottle, from Warrenton, was also in attendance upon the court. A Costly Breakfast.—A member of the city police force, on Sunday morning, left his beat to partake of his morning meal.

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.

The Odd Fel lows propose making that day a notable 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.

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. [Macon Telegraph and Messenger. South Carolina Securities.— The New York Herald, of Saturday, in its report of the stock market for the day before, says: .

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.

He was taken to Darien, since which we have heard nothing of fils where abouts.— Brunswick Appeal- ALL THE PACTBIN A NUTSHELL.—The points of difference between Bh aloe’s Vitalia, or Salvation for the Hair, and the other hair darkening articles, are these: They are sticky—it is devoid of cl a ten. They are opaque —it is transparent. They are fetid—it is fra grant. They are muddy— it is clear. They pro duce dull tints—if reproduces nature’s hues.

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. toral they subside and disappear, ” Singers and. Public Speqhgps rtnU great pro tection from it. -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.

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.
