Another Battalion of Hungry Rail road Laborers.— Yesterday morning at an early hour about 150 laborers from along the line of the Port Royal Railroad arrived at Sand Bar Ferry, below the city, and took possession of the flat and ferried them selves to the Georgia side, making an ad vance movement on Augusta, for the pur pose of endeavoring to provide themselves with food and to understand the prospect of securing from George D. Chapman &Cos., contractors, the money due them for several months’ exhaustive labor on the road. Doubtless apprehensive of exposure to the vengeance of the grievously wronged laborers, Mr. Geo. D. Chapman, the chief “developer,” seems to have scented the danger from afar, and sought a port of safety under the protecting aegis of the authorities in Atlanta, previous to the ar rival of this latter battalion, since he w£s not visible yesterday. Mr. C. R. Abbott, Secretary and Paymaster, was left in charge of the office, to meet as best he could the clamorings of the hungry and excited crowds of laborers expected to pour down upon the office. The reported advance of this body, breathing threatenings against the contractors unless their hard-earned money was forthcoming, excited the appre hensions of Mr. Abbott, who visited the office of the Chief of Police, desiring to know what course to pursue in view of the apprehended danger, and whether it would be essential to call upon Col. Flagler, commandant at the Arsenal, for troops to throw the mantle 'of bayonet protection around himself and the good order of the city. Promptly assured by an officer of the police force that the right ful custodians of the personal and property interests of the citizens were fully compe tent to the discharge of their duty in pre venting a row in the city without the in tervention of the military, Mr. Abbott left the office and the management of the mat ter to the police force. When the laborers reached the city, they congregated around the office of the con tractors, on Ellis street, emaciated, hungry and exhausted, to await payment of their claims. In the meantime, understanding the utter inability of the contractors to pay the laborers at once, his Honor Mayor Allen, with a view to supply the immediate necessities of the laige body of hungry men, mostly colored laborers, put in mo tiou a plan to supply them with rations. Demanding, through Chief of Police Chris tian, of Mr. Abbott a partial suDpiy of ra tions, the latter sent forward 150 pounds of bacon, to which the Mayor added a bar rel of crackers, 100 pounds of bacon, peas, &c. Under the announcement of the Chief of Police tjiat thi rations would be issued to the laborers at the eastern eud of Greene street, they formed a pro cession and quietly marched to the point indicated, where, under the superin tendence of Chief of Police Christian, a distribution of the provision was made, the men appearing greatly appeased thereby, and went into camp at that point. Num bers of them having expressed a willing ness to perform any kind of labor, Mayor Allen succeeded in securing employment for a considerable number as follows: Mr. George G. Hull agreed to employ fifty of the colored laborers for the Macon and Au gusta Railroad ; Mr. William Rainey em ployed ten, to labor at .a saw mill, at 7)4,, on the Albany and Gulf Railroad; and Mr. W. C. Sibley, President of the Langley Manufacturing Company, desired to employ thirty of the number. The laborers, how ever, seemed somewhat averse to going back to South Carolina under the smart ings of their recent outrageous treatment in that State. There was no disturbance during the day, aud the probabilities are, that under the energetic aud discretionary manage ment of Mayor Allen ami Chief of Police Christian, the majority of this large body of surplus population will be disposed of without the least disturbance of the good order of the city. A Large Funerai, Procession.—Yes terday afternoon the funeral ceremonies in tribute to Henry Johnson, colored pastor of Thankful Church, were held at Spring- Held Church, and were attended by au im mense congregation of colored people.— The funeral discourse was preached by Rev. W. J. Hard. From the church the proces sion moved to the graveyard of Thankful Church, down Broad street, consisting of several of the colored societies, male and female, on foot, followed by a procession of carriages and buggies to the number of thirty-five, while a procession of several hundred moved on foot along the pavement on each side of the street. It is computed that at least one thousand persons were in the procession, evincing the high esteem in which the deceased was held by his race, among whom he has long held the position of spiritual adviser. Con. Thomas G. Bacon Wins a Race.— Col. Thomas G. Bacon’s horse, Lynchburg, won a fine race at Saratoga lately, with a valuable purse attached. Col. Bacon has left Saratoga and gone, with his stable, to the famous bathing place, Long Branch, where he has entries in several important races. Seven Votes.— ln the proceedings of the City Council, published yesterday morning, Alderman Butt is reported as having re ceived one vote as one of the three Direc tors in the Cotton States Mechanics’ and Agricultural Fair Association. It should Jiave been men votes. The Manufacture of Ice.— We alluded yesterday morning to the fact that efforts were being made to organize a stock com pany in the city for the purpose of en gaglng in the manufacture of ice by ma chinery. Having since learned something as to the character of the machine proposed to be employed (the Holdeu Ice Machine), we give our local readers the benefit of the information, and commend an investigation, in view.of the promised supply of cheap ice. The Holden Ice Machine is the invention of D. L. Holden, of Kentucky, who.served the South faithfully for four years. It was first constructed for the use of chemogene— a refuse substance of petroleum—but after several trips to Germany Captain Holden succeeded iu perfecting it to such an ex tent that the extreme temperature of 30 to 40 degrees below zero has been attained by the simple revolution of air throngh ma chinery. The method and construction are perfectly simple, and the result, the manu facture of clear flint ice, (just such ice as comes from the extreme North) at a cost that will enable the manufacturers to sell at a less price than it is sold to-day in the North. These machines are now in suc cessful operation in New York, New Or leans, Mobile, Galveston, Texas, Mont gomery and several other cities of the South and West, and soon, if not already, will be in operation in Charleston. The machine proposed to be erected in Augusta is of a capacity of production of ten tons of clear fliut ice per day, and, from the advantages of location, may be run with water on the canal, dispensing with the more costly powers of steam, thus supply ing the consumer with ice at much less Northern prices. Internal Revenue Violation. —Yester day morning J. J. Joseph was brought be fore United States Commissioner J. P. Carr, to answer iu a preliminary examination, the charge of false returns of sales of mer chandize—returning $16,800 when his books, as examined by the revenue officers, exhibited sales of over $30,000 from October to Marcli last.

Fins.—Yesterday afternoon, about 4:30 o’clock, a Are broke out in the residence of Mr. James Costello, corner of Fenwick and Washington streets. It was discovered by some of the neighbors, who promptly as sembled and succeeded in checking the fire without general alarm, but not until the bedstead and bedding and wearing apparel in the room iu which it originated were en tirely consumed. The floor and window sash in the room were also badly damaged. The Are is believed to have been incendiary.

Death of Dr. Daniel Hook.— Our At lanta exchanges bring tidings of the death of Dr. Daniel Hook, father of our esteemed fellow-citizen, Judge James S. Hook. We regret to chronicle that this distinguished divine, eminent physician and Christian gentleman has been gathered to his fathers, after an eventful and well spent./life of seventy-six years. Iu the city, of Augusta, where Dr. Hook was so well known for the unswerving integrity of character which characterized his intercourse with his fel low-citizens, no eulogy from our pen can so well express the high appreciation in which he was held by those who knew him best, as the qnlet tribute of acknowledg ment from his former associates of his rare qualities of head and heart. At one time he was Mayor of this city, and discharged the duties of the office with honor to him self and satisfactorily to those who placed him in position. He was a successful and popular physician, and a minister of the Christian Church, much., beloved for his many estimable qualities.

Mr. Bowie had com plained of feeling unwell in the morning before going to his office, and he had hardly entered upon the duties of the day before he was sHddenly called from this life. The deceased was a member of a large and highly respected family of Bowles in the Abbeville District, South Carolina. His acquaintances and friends will be glad to learn that he was insured in two companies—in the Equitable for five thous and dollars, aud in the Universal Life, of New York, for ten thousand dollars. Mr. Bowie’s remains were forwarded bv Wednesday evening’s train to his afflicted wife and family, who reside in Rome, Ga. N. P. Willis, if we remember right, wrote this description of a hot day, the truth of which some have had vivid expe rience this season: The pavements are all hissing hot, the sky above is brazen, And every head as good as dead the sun can set his rays on ; The lean, lank-looking skeletons go stalking pale and gloomy; The fat, like red-hot frying pans, send hotter laDcies through me. I wake from dreams of polar ice on which I’ve been a slider, Like fishes dreaming of the sea and waking in the spider. Marriage of Brignoli and Miss Mc- Culloch.— A New York letter gives this interesting item: “We hear from Long Branch of the marriage of Brignob, the tenor, with Miss McCulloch, the prima donna. The two well known operatic artistes have been singing together for a long time, and the match is in every way a desirable one. Brignoli is to be congratu lated on having secured for a wife a pretty, talented and accomplished American girl like Miss McCulloch.” Macon’s Donation for Mercer Uni versity.—The Macon Telegraph says the City Council of Macon, by a unanimous vote, on Tuesday afternoon last, tendered the Mercer University $125,000 and the ground on which to put up the buildings, valued at $25,000, making in all a donation of $150,000.

No better opportunity can be presented to our manufacturers and business men for making their facilities known to the South ern people.

THE PARTICULARS OF THE LINDSEY-HAY WARD TRAGEDY IN VIRGINIA—-A STRIKING CASE- The killing of B. F. Lindsey, at Chester, Va., on Tuesday, by his father.in-iaw, Capt. W. H. Hayward, for the seduction of a daughter, and the dismissal of Hayward from custody alter examination before a magistrate, have been announced by tele graph. Both Hayward and Lindsey are well known in Richmond and Petersburg and vicinity. The following facts were elicited before the coroner’s jury: Benjamin F. Lindsey, the deceased, ar rived at Chester on Wednesday afternoon, on the 3:20, p. m., train from Richmond. He went to the store and took a drink. Captain Hayward met him there, and told him tba a gentleman in the hotel wished to see him. He took him up stairs very coolly, and, approaching the lied, said: “Let me introduce you to your son and the victim of your villainy.” With this, he turned the bed clothing down and show ed him a new-born infant. Turning to his daughter, who was lying in the bed, he asked her if this was not Lindsey’s child. She replied that it was. He then remark ed: “You have heard what my daughter says, Mr. Lindsey. What have you to say ?” He replied : “ I am taken so much by surprise, that I do not know what to say.” Captain Hayward put the question again, and Lindsey replied: “That is my child if she says so.” Upon this. Captain Hay war! drew a small Smith & Wesson four-shooter and commenced firing. Lind sey, who was sitting upon the bed at this time, arose, but made no resistance. Capt. Hayward discharged the four harrels, two of the shots taking effect, one iu the fleshy part of the leg, and the other in the abdo men. The wounded man feli, and was taken to his room, where he lingered through the night, and died at hall-past nine o’clock the next morning. The prompt discharge of the slayer in this instance, on the ground of justifiable homi cide, indicates perhaps more strikingly than any similar case, the spirit of public senti ment in regard to the crime of which Lind sey was guilty. The following were the remarks made by the Commonwealth’s at torney at the examination of Captain Hay ward, and the proceedings consequent thereupon : Colonel Ambers, Commonwealth’s attor ney addressed the presiding magistrate and explained that since 1867 the law had dis pensed with an examining court; that its duties had been devolved upon the examin ing magistrate ; that it was in his power to send the prisoner on with or without bail, or to discharge him at once. He recoin mended the latter course. There was no jury which could lie empannelled on God’s earth, white or black, savage or civilized, which would find the accused guilty of morder. The feelings of a father rise in every man’s bosom against the commission of such foul crimes and proclaim that “ the wav of the transgressor is hard indeed.” He did not think this was a case in which either the public morals or public safety required'the accused to be sent on. He should be discharged. Then it would warn men of libidinous appetites that when they do these deeds they do them not only at the risk of an avenging father, but of an aveng ing public also. Capt. Clopton, counsel for the prisoner, said that he did not think it necessary, after what had been so well and properly said by the attorney for the Commonwealth,- to make any remarks. The magistrate then said, “Capt. Hay ward, stand up.” “ U nder these circumstances I cannot ex press my feelings. I think it my duty to announce your discharge.” There was every evidence of approval at the termination ot the case on the part of the spectators, but no noisy demonstration was made. The following was endorsed ou the war rant of arrest: “ The evidence heard this day and the party discharged, on the ground of justi fiable homicide. “ John O. Perdue, J. l*.” The Richmond Dispatch says: \ Miss Hayward, the young lady So fbqlly wronged, is about eighteen years of age; of pleasing manners and retiring disposition- She resided in this city sincp her father moved here. Her conditioq/waa not suA pected up to the time of her delf'very. Captain Hayward is a well known citi zen of Richmond.. He commanded a caW alry company during the has been for some time proprietor oi the Dime Saloon. Recently he took charge,'with /the deceased, of the Chester Hotel. Ha ik a gentleman of great popularity, of quiet and unassuming demeanor, and could only be brought to such a deed under the greatest provocation. He conducted himself calmly during his examination, but it was evident he was laboring under great distress. • Benjamin F. Lindsey, the deceased, was a man of great local prominence in Ches terfield. He has occupied various positions of trust iu that county, such as pr&iding justice, registrar, &c. He was the Conserv ative candidate for the Legislature at the last election, and was also a candidate for the nomination to the -Constitutional Con vention in 1867. He lived for some years in this city. He was a man widely known and generally much liked. He was mar ried to Captain Hayward’s eldest daughter last December. The Latest Atlanta Ring. —The Sa vannah Republican says there is hardly a day that we do not hear of some new scheme to plunder the treasury of our,. State and heap burthens upon the people in order to enrich an army of sharpers about Atlanta. The latest “ ring” that we have heard of is one to buy up for a trifle all the treasury notes issued by the State during the war and since repudiated in solemn convention, and then by a liberal division, or other arts well known to the rings, in duce the Legislature to acknowledge them and order their payment. It is a “ big thing,” involving millions, and the specu lators engaged in it expect to make mil lions by the operation. The notes will cost them a mere song, and they will be able to make magnificent bids for votes. We have this from undoubted authority, and fur thermore, that men occupying very high civil positions in the State are secretly identified with it, and intend to put the scheme through if they can. Our object is now merely to call public attention to the fact. At another time we shall take occa sion to comment on the merits of the trans action. City Fathers on the “ Chicken Lift.” —The Americus Republican tells the fol lowing hard story on the members of the City Council of Lumpkin : A gentleman on a visit to this city from Lumpkin, Stewart county, says that a few days ago a countryman carried a wagon load of chickens, eggs and butter into that little city to sell, and as soon as the mem bers of the City Council espied the wagon, they gathefed around it and asked the owner if he was licensed to sel* in the streets. He informed them that he was not, when they immediately confiscated his load, divided it among themselves and sent the wagoner out of the city. Death of a Widely Known Citizen. —lt gives us pain to announce the death ot that old and very highly respected citizen, James Hatcher, Esq.

She will be governed by Napoleon’s instruc tions, and is forbidden to promulgate other ]»Ws than those now pending. It is regarded certain that the Emperor intends closing on the Prussians between Theonville and Wiessenburg, and throwing McMahon’s army across the Rhine. McMahon’s army consists of three corps, commanded by Feriliy, Donay .and McMa hon. Eight thousand marines, under General DeVassaignq, accompany the Baltic fleet to the objective point of Staflsund. France reiterates a denial of the authen ticity of the secret treaty with Prussia.

Goulding, Consul, to the following effect, dated Hong Kong, February 9th : “I have the honor to report that the French bark Ville de Satleo, Dubois mas ter, sailed hence to-day with two hundred Chinese emigrants as passengers for New Orleans. This is probably the first emi grant ship which has sailed from China to the east coast of the United States. These people are seut by the Arkansas River Val ley Immigration Company, to be employed at plantation or farm work in the valley of the Arkansas river. They have been sub jected by me to vigorous aud rigid exami nation as to their knowledge of the coun try they were going to, the wages, &c., •they were to receive, and length of time they expected to remain. Each individual was personally examined by the Colonial surgeon as to his health and fitness to un dertake the voyage. The provisions were careftally inspected by the harbor master. In fact, all the requirements of the local authorities were fully complied with. They left this port ‘ free and voluntary emi grants,’ and were not only willing but anxious to go.” London, July 28.—The limes' com menting on the secret treaty, says it is clear both parties are involved in the conspiracy, touching which both shonld make a clean breast. The North German Confederation will exhibit other similar overtures from Napo leon. The people of St. Petersburg are furious because Prussia intercepts English and French journals.

I have to testify to it the confidence which I repose in its will and ability to maintain order in Paris and to contribute to the security of the regency of the Em press.” The Journal Cfftciel contains a corres pondence from St. Petersburg. Russia does not sympathize with Prussia. Prussia wishes to make a Prussian lake of the Baltic, and threatens the independence of half of Germany. The Czar treats the French Ambassador with much consideration. The Emperor desires that funds usually appropriated to his fete be this year given to the army.

Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs, , such as Coughs, Golds, Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, 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 of men it has risen higher and iiigher in their estima tion, as it has become better known. Its uniform character and power to cure the various affections of the lungs ana throat, have made it known as a re liable protector against them. While adapted to milder forms of disease and to young children, it is at the same time the most effectual remedy that can be given for incipient consumption, and the dan gerous affections of the throat and lungs. Asa pro vision against sudden attacks of Croup, it should be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all are sometimes subject to colas and Coughs, all should be provided with this antidote for them. Although settled Consumption is thought in curable, still great numbers of cases where the dis ease seemed settled, have been completely cured, and the patient restored to sound health by tha Cherry Pectoral. 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 Pec toral they subside and disappear. Singers and Public Speakers find great pro tection from it. Asthma is always relieved and often wholly cured by it. Bronchitis is generally cured by taking tha 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 mors than assure the public that its qualities are ftdlj maintained. Ayer’s Ague Cure, For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, Ac., and indeed all the affections which arise from malarious, marsh, or miasmatici poisons. As its name implies, it does Cure, and does not fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bismuth, Zinc, 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 tricts, are literally bevond account, and wc Deliove 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 fkiled. Unacclimated persons, either resident in, or travelling through miasmatic localities, will be pro tected by taking tho AGUE CURE daily. For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity of the Liver, it is an exoellent remedy, stimulating; the Liver Into healthy activity. For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, It is an excellent remedy, producing many truly re markable cures, where other medicines had failed. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
