promptly. We will be obliged to them for
prompt reports of such failures, that they
may be remedied.
Splendid Works.— Perhaps the most
important works published in the United
States, as compendiums of useful know
ledge, and for ready reference by the pro
fessional man, are the volumes emanating
from the famous house of D. Appleton &
Cos., entitled, respectively, the Annual Cy
clopedia, 8 volumes, and the New American
Cyclopedia , 24 volumes. The first of these,
the Annual Cyclopedia, is a careful and im-.
partial digest of all noteworthy matters
transpiring during the twelve months of
any year, over all the world. The import
ance of such a vade mecum is manifest at a
glance, and the desirability of procuring
such an auxiliary is almost inestimable.
The New American Cyclopedia is more gen
eral and more ambitious. It is a library
in itself, and, as far as human ingenu
ity and money can make it so, a perfect
arsenal for the writer, the student, the poli
tician, the man of culture and the man
thirsting for a royal road to learning. It
is indeed a treasure for the wise and other
wise. The remarks of Bishop Beckwith
on this point are so happy and so perti
nent that we quote them eotire and en
dorse them fully. The Bishop says :
“ J. C. Derby :
“ My Dear Bir: The Cyclopedia is, in my
judgment, the most valuable treasury of gen
eral knowledge now before the public, with
in the compass of a single work. ‘lt is,’says
the Richmond Enquirer, ‘ free from all sec
tional and sectarian influences and truly
national in its character; it does impartial
justice to every portion of the country.’
In its religious department, it is peculiarly
valuable for the reason that its articles
upon the various religious denouiiuutions
are from the pens of distinguished mem
bers of those denominations; thus each
religious board speaks for Itself. Others
more competent than myself must speak
of its treatment of subjects connected with
American topography, history, biography,
commerce, Datural science and general
natural advancement; and all this I see. in
your published opinions of the Southern
press and Comments by distinguished metr
1 has been fully and faithfully done.’
“If my approbation can in any way re
commend such a work, 1 do not hesitate to
declare that I believe it to be the best sub
stitute for a library now within the reach
of men of moderate means, and a well nigh
indispensable addition' to the shelves of
every man who wishes to be able to under
stand the subjects that are continually
brought forward in the business and inter
course of daily life.
“ This letter is entirely at your disposal.
“ Most respectfully,
“ Jno. W. Beckwith,
“ Bishop of Georgia.”
From Rev. Dr. Wilson.
“ Augusta, February 17. 1870.
“ I beartilv endorse Bishop Beckwith’s
recommendation of that Invaluable work,
the ‘ New American Cyclopedia.' It can
not be too highly esteemed.
“ Joskph R. Wilson,
“ Pastor Presbyterian Church.”
Distinguished literary men and the Press
everywhere coincide as to the rare excel
lence of these volumes. Bishop Beckwith
states, in addition, that the house of Apple
ton & Cos. is worthy of all confidence, and
shows his appreciation of the members of
the firm by narrating of his personal knowl
edge certain of their acts of kindness. We
note 150,000 volumes of school books given
to the South : several thousand copies of
religious works given to the different South
ern dioceses; SIO,OOO given to the Bishop
himself for the erection of an Orphans’
Home in Georgiy beside SSOO per annum
for five years to support the orphan
children. These facts need no comment.
Jttr. J. C. Defby, the Agent of the Apple
tons, proposes to obtain one hundred sub
scribers in Augusta to the New American
Cyclopedia. His list is already headed by
Bishop Beckwith, Rev. Drs. Wilson and
Clark, Dr. L. A. Dugas and a number of
other well-known gentlemen. We trust
his success will be commensurate with the
incalculable value of the work.
Aiken and Oub Sand Hills.—We mp
derstand a report has arisen in Aiken pre
judicial to the Sand Hills (Summerville),
near this city. It is stated that chill and
fever prevail to such a degree on the Sand
Hills as to make it unsafe for invalids com
ing South to recuperate to stay there.—
This is altogether a mistake. The place
we call “Sand Hills” is, and has always
been, one of the healthiest localities to be
found anywhere, and for consumptives the
climate has long been considered one of the
best on the globe. It is a high, dry locali
ty, three miles from the ' city, and univer
sally acknowledged to be one of the most
beautiful villages in the United States, and
it is the opinion of our medical faculty
here, some of whom have visited the prin
cipal resorts in Europe and elsewhere, that
no better climate in the known world can
be found for persons suffering with diseases
of the throat and luDgs. It is a pity, there
fore, that such a report has arisen, as it has
kept away the usual patronage from the
different boarding-houses on the Hill, and
this, we understand, when they are in a
better state of preparation for visitors than
ever before.
We would call the attention of our
readers and the people of Augusta, before
it is too late, to one fact, and that is, the
best Irish linens and dry goods ever offer
ed In this market are now selling by Big
non & Crump, at auction and private sale,
every day. Every assortment and quality
of the best Irish linens, sheeting, shirting
and pillow linens, table damask, napkins,
Ac., and in fact all goods found In a first
class wholesale will be offered du
ring the week.
The Berger Family of Bell Ring
ers.—The attendance on the entertain
ment of this company, last night, was not
more than required to constitute a fair au
dience.
The performance was unquestionably
meritorious in every feature. The bells of
the company are of the most exquisite
tone, and are handled In the most accom
plished manner, producing a concord of
tinkling harmony and melody which held
the audience spell-bound.
Miss Anna Berger, In her character
songs, was particularly happy, and gave a
peculiar relish to the entertainment.
The ballads of Miss Maud Stanley were
well rendered. She has a clear, sweet and
distinct voice of rich melody.
Mr. A. J. Whitcomb dispensed exquisite
music on the harp.
T. he stall bell solo of Miss Ettie Berger
was a perfect gem of music.
The popular sensation of the evening was
Sol Smith Russell, whose appearance was
the signal for good hearty laughter. He is
emphatically the concentration of fun and
double-distilled laughing gas, the smallest
pinch of which will serve a whole family.
Another exhibition is given to-night, and
we commend the company as meriting the
patronage of our citizens.
Firemen’s Items. —The Melropolltans )
of Savannah, will leave that city on Mon
day evening, to participate in the firemen’s
tournament here on the 22d inst.
A letter received from Mr. T. D. Tinsley,
Secretary of Defiance, No. 5, Macon, regrets
that his company has been obliged to de
cline participating in the tournament on
the 22d instant, on account of several rea
sons, the chief difficulties being in the
failure to secure the attendance of a force
adequate to properly manage their engine,
which is very heavy, and the refusal of the
Central Railroad to grant transportation at
much less than regular rates.
The +“ Georgians ” have determined to
house the “ Mountain City ” boys and their
apparatus on the 22d.
About Kid Gloves. —Those made by the
celebrated manufacturers J(/avail, Tre
fousse & Alexander, are known to the
ladies of 'Parte and New York, aud by
many are considered superior to those im
ported and sold by A. T. Stewart & Cos., as
Alexandre’s. The genuine Alexander kid
gloves are to be had at W. W. Leman’s, 232
Broad street, at $1 50 per pair, who war
wants each pair. 1
Fine Beef. —John P. Foster announces
in our advertising columns that he will be
prepared, on Saturday morning and even
ing, to furnish all lovers of fine meat with
some of the grandest beef, mutton, etc.,
ever seen in this market.
Reserved SGats. —The sale of reserved
seats for Mrs. Oates’ Burlesque Troupe
will commence at 9, a. m., to-day, at the
book store of Mr. G. A. Oates.
City Court. —Parties Interested will re
member that to-day is the Return Day for
the City Court, wldr-h convenes on Mon
day, the 28th inst.
For Liverpool. —Messrs. Willis &
Chisolm, Charleston. S. C., advertise the
first class ship, “ Southern Chief,” for this
port with dispatch. Freights solicited.
River News. —At 3, p. m., yesterday, the
river registered 10 feet 3 inches at the city
bridge. No arrivals or depaftures.
Work on the Macon and Augusta
Railroad. —The Telegraph and Messenger,
of Wednesday, says:
On account of the vary high stage of
water In the Ocmulgee river, during the
month of January and since the Ist inst,.,
Mr. Clark, the contractor for building the
brick pillars of the bridge for the Macon
and Augusta Railroad, has been unable to
prosecute the work steadily; bnt he has,
nevertheless, laid a brick whenever it was
possible to do so, and he informs us that
he will finish the last pillar of the four
contracted for on the first clear day—pro
bably to-day.
Thf road bed has been graded since our
last report, from the bridge around Na
pier’s old field to a point on the Central
Railroad track, between lower Poplar and
Cherry streets, and, we are glad to add, the
work on this end of the road is heing push
ed along with all the speed the wet and
unsettled state of the weather will permit.
Real Estate Sales in Greene Coun
ty.—The Greenesboro Herald , of yester
day, says:
For the last few weeks, Greenesboro has
shown more signs of vitality than for some
time past. Some little improvements are
being made, and others are contemplated,
when lumber can be obtained. The City
Fathers are also rubbing their eyes and
showing sighs of returning life and wake
fulness. Strangers from different parts of
the North and West are also prospecting,
and the old fields of Greene are assuming
an air of importance uot dreamed of twelve
months ago.
Among the visitors to our place, we are
pleased to see the Hon. Horace Warner, of
Rochester, New York, and his son. Judge
Warner is a most genial gentleman, a man
of influence in the Era pile State. We are
glad to see such men among us, and are
pleased to learn that he and his son have
purchased the Early place, some two miles
from town, for $20,000. This is a valuable
place, containing some 2,800 acres, and
would make a capital stock farm. We
hope the Judge and his family will find it
desirable to make this vicinity his home;
for we have no doubt in a few years, with
the advantages of her climate, in the vast
ness and variety of her resources, Georgia
will be ahead of any State in the Union.
Returned.— Mr. King, who has been for
some time in ViTginiu* endeavoring to make
contracts with the freed men, returned last
week with twenty-three hands for persons
in and around Barnesville. The many re
ports in the papers to the effect that there
are thousands of negroes at the railroad
stations in Virginia waiting opportunities
to comq South, is exaggerated. There are
a great rtiany who wish to come South,
but they will not make contracts except
through agents who have offices for that
purpose. A large number have already
left the State, and gone in the dfreption of
Louisiana —so many indeed, that the peo
ple of Virginia are waking up to the fact
that if they do not take some steps to ar
rest the emigration, they will have no ne
gro labor left, Mr. King says that both
fair and foul means are resorted to in order
to induce the negroes to make contracts;
but, as a general thing, they prefer con
tracting through labor agents, with men
from the far South'. Mr. King thinks that
he could take back one of the negroes he
has already brought and get as many bands
as he wanted. — Monroe Advertiser.
The New Augusta Postmaster. —It Is
W. T. Pierce, and not Price, who has been
appointed Postmaster at Augusta. Ha
will be remembered as a candidate for Con
gress against Hon. Nelson Tift, in the 2cf
District, and whose incendiary conduct
and harangues caused the Camilla riot, in
which a number of his negro dupes were
killed. The people of Augusta haye our
profound sympathy.

Chatterings of the Parrott.
BLODGETT, FARROW AND WHITELY
The following is an extract of the chat
tering of Judge Parrott, on Monday, be
fore the Republican caucus, after the nomi
nations for United States Senators:
The Hon. Foster Blodgett, who has been
chosen with such unanimity* and with
such happy good will for the six years’
term, beginning on the 4th of March, 1871
is a native Georgian, born, raised and edu
cated in Georgia, with Georgia’s people,
knowing and feeling every motive and im
pulse that can animate one who has felt as
a poor boy has felt, and suffered the ills
that are the common lot of those not blessed
by fortune, but Inspired by noble ambition,
untiring energy and unflinching tenacity
of purpose. If we have joyed, so has Blod
gett, and if we have mourned, so has Blod
gett.
The man whom you have so highly hon
ored to-night, and upon whom you are
about to cast such a burden of responsibili
ty, has. as you are all aware, been the sub
ject of the most relentless, bitter, unjusti
fiable and ruthless political persecution;
the victim of the most inhuman, dastardly,
personal vituperation ; the most trying and
crushing personal ostracism for his politi
cal opinions, known to American history or
to the history of any civilized country on
the habitable globe.
When we 'consider the fact, well known
to many old Whigs now present, that in
days of yore, before violence had over
thrown reason, that Blodgett was the
chosen friend, candidate and champion of
Andrew J. Miller, than whom there per
haps never lived a more astute politician
or purer patriot; of Charles J. Jenkins,
George W. Crawford, Metcalf, Toombs and
Stephens, those leaders of Whiggery in and
about the great old city of Augu’sta, the
very stronghold of the old Whig party in
Georgia, for Mayor time and again, for Or
dinary of Richmond county. When we
consider that he presided over the last
Union meeting held in Augusta when Mr.
Jenkins was nominated lor a seat in the
.Secession Convention of 1861 ; when lie
(Mr. Jenkins) raised his voice perhaps for
the last time in behalf of the government
of his fathers, we are convinced that the
one great unpardonable sin that has heaped
the consuming wrath of his persecutors
upon his devoted head is the simple fact
that he loves his Government and dares to
stand by and uphold its institutions.
Blodgett has become a formidable leader,
a good organizer of the Republican party
in Georgia, and this is the reason he is so
defamed, so denounced, so ostracised.
Doubtless if he Would quit his party, hate
his Government, join its enemies, and aid
thepi t° get power and plunder, his sins,
though “like scarlet’ now, would then be
come “ white as wool.”
We are often almost persuaded that if
the King of Peace were on earth and did
not approve all the violence, outrage and
malice of t hose who persecute their neigh
bors, because they will not think,as others
think, and continue to embroil tTie country
in trouble and Involve the people in their
own ruin, He would also be persecuted and
ostracised.
It is true that Blodgett is a friend of the
Government of the United States, devoted
to human liberty, a true and staunch Re
publican. That he helieves that party is
the only organization that can give us peace
and protection. That every man, woman
and child in Georgia, and many elsewhere,
know his views and his principles; that he
occupies no equivocal position. It is also
true that when he gives his word \f, is con
sidered as good as his bond. If these things
ought to damn him, let him be turned over
to Satan to be buffered; or, what is worse,
let him be turned over tathe tender mercies
of those who think and speak evil always of
their Government and those who control it.
He says he is not much for long speech
making, but when there is work to do, he is
always on hand. This is true. You will
always find him ready to work for his coun
try and his friends. I predict that much
good will result to Georgia by reason of
the choice you have made to-night.
Col. Farrow is an earnest and true
friend of the Republican party, and lias
ever been true to its principles. He has
fought the battles of the Republican party
with great vigor and boldness when the
more timid were not willing to stand the
pressure. He has ever taught the chivalry
a few lessons in their own school that they
have not yet forgotten. The Scriptural
adage that “ the laborer is worthy of his
hire ” has not been forgotten in his case
to-night.
Maj. Whitely is a young man of great
merit and fine ability from the extreme
Southwestern part of the State. He, too,
has done ranch good service inr'the cause
of the Republican party. There is do
brighter mind nor better Republican in
Georgia than this glorious little man from
Decatur. We have reason to expect that
he will take position in the Senate imme
diately upon his admission. We all remem
her well the important part performed by
Whitely in the formation of our State con
stitution, and also the great ability dis
played in the management of the difficult
questions then presented. We are all
proud of Whiteley, and feel assured that
he will honor himself and his State, when
he reaches the Capital of the Nation.
But how, “ pretty Poll,” about the little
perjury snap In which the “ Hon. Foster
Blodgett ” was tripped ?
Ice Machines. —Speaking on this subject,
the Southern Guardian says :
The German machines are probably the
cheapest. Americans charge so high for
patent privilege, that the machine, with
privilege, is very expensive. A German
house—Vass & Littman, of Halle a S., in
Prussia—advertise ice machines at the fol
lowing prices : A machine turning out flftv
pounds of ice an hour, at $1,500 in green
backs; one turningout 100 pounds an hour,
$2,700 ; 200 pounds, $4,000; 400 pouflds,
$6,000; 1,000 pounds, $9,000. They furnish
chemicals—liquid ammonia is the principal
—with each machine sufficient to work the
machine for years. The machines that
turn ont 50, 100 and 200 pounds an hour
are worked by hand, requiring no steam;
but those of greater capacity—soo and 1,000
pounds an hour—require small steam en
gines, the former one of one-horse power,
and the latter one of three-horse power.
By these machines ice can be manufac
tured at a cost of nine cents per one hun
dred pounds.
Suburban Fame.— The Monroe Advertis
er says : The suburbs of Forsyth are being
gradually occupied with negro cabins, and
on two sides of town we have two quite
extensive and important settlements or the
colored variety—one on the southern por
tion of the incorporate limits named Trapp
vjjle, in honor of colored registrar of this
district, who was the pioneer in that vi
cinity, and one on the northern edge of
town called Clowerville, in honor of the
festive cuss who sits in the Legislature and
grins for the country for nine dollars a
day.
The Legislature of Kentucky, by a large
majority, has refused even to inquire into
the expediency of repealing her laws pro
hibiting negroes from testifying against
whites.

The test case mentioned in a previous
dispatch did not come up, as was expected,
this morning. It is stated that Harrington
made a formal demand for the surrender of;

It is also reported that Harrington would

Montgomery, February 17.-Both Houses

1871, will pass the House to-morrow.
J. P. Stanton, Superintendent of the Ala*
bama and Chattanooga Railroad, is here,
having returned from a visit to Northed
and Middle Alabama and Mississippi. Ad
vices from those sections represent that the
people are enthusiastic for the completion
of the road ; the prejudice against the bill
endorsing the bonds of the company to the
amount of $20,000,000 is greatly dispelled,
particularly as the State is endorsing bonds
of older companies without any personal
security whatever.
The Alabama and Chattanooga Road,
when completed, will be of Incalculable
benefit to the whole of Alabama, as well as
Georgia and Mississippi, and the country
generally. It is a matter of some wonder
ment that leading bankers and attorneyi
of this State were strong advocates of the
Stanton bill.
There are many wild railroad schemes oi
hand, which will no doubt be defeated.

Gentlemen : Jn answer to your inquiries as
to the advantages resulting from the use •of
Russel Coe’s Superphosphate, I would state
that I used it only on Corn, at the rate of from
250 to 300 pounds per acre, with the most sat
isfactory results, the yield being from twice to
three times as much as it would have been had
I not used the Superphosphate.
Very respectfully, yours,

COOKING STOVE),
WITH
Dumping Orate.
THE STEWART COOKING STOVE,
Which lias hitherto maintained an acknowl
edged superiority over a 1 competitors, is now
introduced to the public with the addition of a
DUMPING GRATE and ASH DRAWER. In
poiut oi Economy and General Utility, it has
been conceded that the Stewart Stove is
AHEAD OF ALL OTHERS.
By this addition of the NEW DUMPING
GRATE, the heating surface of the oven is
greatly increased, and the capacity of the flues
nearly doubled. The Stove can never have a
detective draft, and no dust can escape while
cleaning or dumping the grate. All parts of
the oven bake alike. The oven is ventilated in
a manner entirely new, and by means of which
the oven is more quickly prepared for baking,
and the baking is better done than ever before.
The Eire Box has the Perforated Iron Lin

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, Ao.,
and indeed all the affections whioh arise
torn malarious, marsh, or miasmatio
poisons.
No one remedy is louder cajled
Fgs for by the necessities of the
Bb Me . American people than a sure and
|{k/ safe cure for Fever and Ague.
B BH J Such we are now enabled to offer,
-■»- ak? with a perfect certainty that it
M will eradicate the disease, and
W with assurance,founded on proof,
that no harm can arise front its use iu any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents'this disor
der must be of immense service in the communi
ties where it prevails. Prevention is better than
cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he
must run in violent attacks of this balefttl distem
per. This “ Cure ” expels the miasmatic poison of
Fever and Ague from the system, and prevents
the development of the disease, if taken on the first
approach of its premonitory symptoms. It is not
only the best remedy ever yet discovered for thia
class of complaints, but also the cheapest. Tito
large quantity we supply for a dollar brings it
within the reaelt of everybodv; and in bilious dis
tricts, where Fever and Ague prevails, every
body should have it, and use it freely both for cure
and protection. It is hoped this price will place it
within the reach of all—the poor as well as the
rich. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other over discovered for the speedy attd certain
cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no Quinine
or mineral: consequently it produces no quinism
or other injurious effects whatever upon- the con
stitution. Those cured by it are left Us healthy as
if they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disorders
arise from its irritation, among which are Neural
gia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitation,
Painful Affection of the Spleen, Hysterics, Pain in
the Bow els, Colic, Paralysis, and derangement of
the Stomach, all of which, when originating in thla
cause, put on the intermittent type, or become
Seriodical. This “ Cure ” expels the poison from
te Wood, and consequently cures them all alike.
. It is an Invaluable protection to immigrants and
persons travelling or temporarily residing in the
malarious districts. If taken occasionally or daily
while exposed to the infection, thatwill be excreted
ft'om the system, and cannot accumulate in suffi
cient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence it is
even more valuable for protection than cure; and
few' will ever suffer from Intermittents if they
avail themselves of the protection this remedy af
fords.
For Liver Complaint«, arising from torpidi
ty of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulat
ing the Liver into healthy activity, and produ
cing many truly remarkable cures, where other
itfedioines fail.
