Death of a Former Resident of Our
City. —We observe in the papers of Mont
gomery, Ala., a notice of the death of Hon.
Thomas O. Glascock, Mayor of that city.
He had been for some months in Virginia,
seeking a restoration of health. He was
about to return home, intending to visit
tiis brother-'ti-law, Hon. If. W. Hilliard, of
this city, on his way, but having reached
Richmond he was unable to proceed, and
died thereon tiie night, of September 21st.
Ills remains were taken to Montgomery,
where an immense procession followed them
to f lic grave.
Mr. Glasscock passed the early part of
his life in this city. He was the nephew of
the late Hon. Thomas Glasscock.
IlcseeiiiH to have been universally re-
~ He opposed secession in iB6O,
ami was a staunch Union man; but his
political opponents always spoke of him
with respect . He was a man of high tone,
utd distinguished M his honesty aud up
rightness
Ski.kct Even'# 0 School—To meet a
fe lt, want in Augusta, Mr. Martin V-
Odviii Las Organized an evening school,
for the a .Ammodatlon of youths whose
daily occfpfttioiis deny them the advant
ages of lay schools. The school will be
commerced on Monday (to morrow) eve
iif Mg, at half-past. 7 o'clock. Its sessions
will lie held on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays, two hours each evening. The
course of instruction will t»e thoroughly
practical, and the opportunity thus afforded
youths, whose business prevents their at
tendance upon day schools, to fit them
selves for the pursuits of life and the
adornment of society, will, we trust,
awaken a wide spread luterest among that
class for Whose especial benefit this school
is intended. Mr. Calvin is a faithful and
painstaking teacher, and pupils, with due
application, cannot fail to progress under
his training. •
A Through Passenger Cab from !St.
Louis to the Pair Grounds— Some time
last Spring, Col.. Thomas P. Stovall, Chair
ma.n of the Pair Grounds Committee, when
in st. Louis, proposed to Mi*. Thomas Allen,
President ol the Iron Mountain Railroad,
to run a through passenger car from that
city to Augusta. From receut communi
cations from PresideutgAllen aud Colonel
Cole, of the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad, preparations are perfected for
accomplishing the project. It will be a
novel feature in our Fair, and one most
suggestive of the progress of the times to
see our St. Louis excursionists come
through to onr Fair grounds without
change of cars. The only link in the con
nection that has been lacking is now nearly
completed— that is the track from the
Union Depot into our Fair grounds.
M. O’Dowd .—The partial list present
ed by this gentleman through the Con
stitutionalist, this morning, will serve to
give the public something like an idea of
the immense and excellent stock of gro
ceries, heavy and fancy, with which lie has
entered upon the Fall campaign as succes
sor to the Ann of O’Dowd & Mulherrin.
Everything for the sustenance and refresh
ment of the inner raau will be found at this
establishment iu profusjpn, and of the
best quality. The business integrity and
straightforward dealing by which the for
mer firm have laid the foundation of a
grocery trade of such gigantic proportions
will, as heretofore, commend the present
proprietor to a host of patrons.
Moving Day.—On yesterday, there was
a general change of quarters by the un
lucky people who, having no houses of
their own, are obliged to rent tenements
from others. Moving is a miserable job,
under the best of circumstances, but mov
ing on such a sloppy, rainy, gloomy day as
the Ist of October proved to be, is siipply
heartrending. We sympathize with all
who had to pull up stakes and choose new
camping grounds yesterday; and it is easy
to understand what a blessed Sabbath they
experience this morning, rain or shine.
We fancy that many and many a good soul
will sing, “There’s rest for the weary,”
with additional pathos, and with fervor at
Jeast, if not genuine piety.
Rain.— During Friday night aud the en
tire day yesterday, there was an incessant
fall of rain—not particularly heavy, but
exhibiting a gift of continuance worthy of
special mention. The clouds of dust with
which the city has been enveloped for the
past few weeks have closed their engage
ment/or the present, and the indications
now are that mud and water will be the
principal amusements for the ensuing week.
We felt very much like saying harsh things
about the dust, and we are in soch an ex
ceedingly unchristian frame of mind, after
parading around in the mud in search of
unattainable local Items, that in order not
to shock our readers, we forbear to pursue
this subject. •
8. D. Heard & Son. —Attention is direct
ed to the advertisement of Messrs. 8. D.
Heard & Son. This firm is among the old
est and most reliable engaged in the cotton
trade of Augusta, and will, as heretofore,
serve their friends and patrons with
promptness and fidelity. All business con
fided to them will receive particular per
sonal attention. They have accepted an
agency for that popular fertilizer, John
Merryman & tlo.’s Ammoniated Dissolved
Bones, for cotton, corn, wheat, oats, &c.,
which has earned the recommendation of
planters wherever used.
Good Farming. —We have seldom, if
ever, seen the benefits of diversified agri
culture better Illustrated than in the
superb promise of crops and their partially
realized yield on the plantation formerly
owned by the late Hon. Johu Foster, a
short distance from Augusta. Two aud a
half tons of Hungarian grass hay per acre
have already been secured ; also two tons
per acre of pea vines. Thirty eight bushels
of corn per acre have been husbanded, and
the cotton in the field looks as if it might
bring quite a bale or more to the acre.—
This is good and satisfactory farming.
Fine Envelopes, 10 and 15 cents per
package, at King Bros’.
H. F. Russell & Co.—Among the lead
ing dry goods dealers of Augusta none art
prepared to exhibit a more complete and
elegant stock of seasonable goods, in all
lines, than th s firm. .With accomplished
taste and a thorough conception of the
particular fabrics suited to their mammoth
trade in staple and fancy goods, they have
thrown upon the market a stock of goods
In their line for the Fall and Winter sea
sons which challenges the admiration of all
for its completeness and elegance. Give
them a call.
A Change at the Globe. —We learn
that Mr. Patrick Kelly, so popularly known
to our citizens and the traveling public as
presiding genius at the Globe Hotel bar,
during the regime of Mr. John M. Gannon,
has leased the bar attached to the Globe,
and Will make his debut on Monday, the 3d
inst. He will he pleased to greet his old
friends, and we aie confident that the
urbanity of Mr. Kelly, coupled with the
fact that he purposes to keep none but the
best of refreshments in his line, will secure
for him frequent visits from troops of
friends.
Death of Mrs. Jane T. 11, Cross.— We
are pained to have to chronicle the death
of Mrs. Jane T. 11. Cross, wife of Dr. Joseph
Cro s, rector of St. Stephens’ Church iu
Atlanta. The Doctor was summoned on
Monday to go to her bedside iu Kentucky,
and arrived only iu time to be with her
during her last hours. She died Tlnirsday
night. Mrs. Cross was a lady of eminent
talent, oue who, as a writer, was well
knowu throughout the South, aud her
death will he lameuted by ail who kuew
her personally or were acquainted with her
writings.
Pugilistic —Notwithstanding the cool
ing effect of the copious rain yesterday,
two Bridge Row colored barbers, Wees
Lacy aud James Johnson, could not con
trol their ardor short of a personal collis
ion, which, however, resulted in the loss of
hut little blood. Lacy was arraigned be
fore Justice Verdery, at the iustanee of Ills
antagonist, on a charge of assault and
battery, found guilty, and fined $lO and
cost., or the alternative of serving on the
chain gang for one month.
Should Be Promptly Fixed—The
bridge over the surface drain In front of
the “ Georgia” engine house is not nf suffi
cient width to allow of the free passage of
the steamer from the house to the st eet.
Considerable trouble resulted therefrom
yesterday morning when the alarm of tire
souuded, the rear wheels of the steamer
having been thrown into the draiu, causing
the horses to balk. The city authorities
should see that no obstructions of this
character should be allowed to exist.
Clothing for the Million —Messrs.
Pope, Mack A Cos, secoud door below the
Globe Hotel, offer to the public one of the
largest aud most complete stocks of cloth
ing, furnishing goods, hats, &c., comprising
everything that is nevy in style or material,
which has ever been brought to Augusta/
Low prices will govern in the disposition
of this immense stock, which they are re
solved to run off it figures that will defy
competition.
Pictures. —Mr. J. W. Perkins, whose
reputation as an artist of the first order
has been securely established in this city
for more than twenty years, has recently
changed base, and fitted up anew and
splendid art gallery, one door above his
former place of business, where he is pre
pared to furnish ambrotypes, ferrotypes,
&c., iu the very best style of the art in
which he has earned and received such
great distjpetiou.
Sudden Death. —The numerous friends
of General Lafayette McLaws will deeply
sympathize with himself and family In the
sudden death of his eldest son, William
Huguenin, which occurred between I and
2 o’clock yesterday, from congestion of the
bowels. The deceased was just verging
upon a vigorous and promising manhood,
and the mysterious dispensation will fall
with crushing weight upon the father, who
is absent from the city.
River News. —Under Jhe continuous
rain of Friday night and yesterday the
river experienced a rise of 17 inches since 5
o’clock Friday afternoon to the same hour
yesterday afternoon, when it registered 6
feet and was still rising. This will be-hail
ed with particular gratification by steam
boat men, who have been greatly incom
moded by low water for the past few
weeks.
Fm«.— The alarm of fire about 5 o'clock
yesterday morning wa» occasioned by tho
burning of a chimney on Greene, above
Campbell street. The firemen were prompt
ly ont, but their services were not required.
They do not feel under any particular obli
gations to the watchman at the Bell Tower
Who rapped them from their morning slum
tier tor aupb atrifle.
Violation of Revenue Law.—Yester
day morning, W. A. Legwen was arraigned
before United States Commissioner J. P.
Carr, charged with the re-use of tobacco
stamps, in violation of the internal revenue
laws. The defendant waived examination
and gave bond m SI,OOO to appear at the
District Court for the Northern District of
Georgia, to be held at Atlanta on the
second Monday in March.
Murderer Arrested. —Warren Little,
the negro who stabbed Dr. F. G. Godbee to
death on the night of Tuesday last, was ar
rested within four miles of Augusta, on
Friday evening, brought to this city, and
lodged In jail, to await the action of the
civil authorities. The negro acknowl
edged the killing of Dr. Godbee, but claims
that he acted in self defense. We under
stand that he will probably be returned to
Burke to-day.
First Class Dry Goods.— Mr. James
W. Turley, third house above the Globe
Hotel, is now offering great attractions in
dry goods. His stock is complete and
stylish in all lines, having been selected
with the utmost personal care. Purchas
ers would do well to take an interior sur
vey of this establishment.
An Entire Failure. —The small brick
surface drains laid along Washington
street, being simply laid 'in drain shape,
without mortar, will sooi: be torn up en
tirely. We notice several places already
Where the bricks have been rooted up by
the wheels of vehicles coming in contact
with the edges of the drains.
Millinery Goods —Mrs. S. Leckie has
just returned from New York with a truly
magnificent stock of millinery goods, em

[CO M M UNI CATE [I ]
A Visit from an Old Friend.
We had the pleasure, yesterday, to meet
with an old acquaintance and former citi
zen of Augusta. We refer to Air. John AI.
Gannon. He was the whilom host of thq
Globe Hotel during his residence in this
city, and contributed largely to build up
the reputation of that, excellent establish
ment,. During the war Mr. Gannon was
noted for his hospitality to the boys who
wore the grey, and no heart that ever beat
beneath the shamrock more truly sympa
thized with the lost cause. Notwithstand
ing this, his charity was eminently catholic
in spirit, and more than once during those
days that tried men’s souls did our friend
“do good to them that did hate” us, and
feed the Federal prisoners as they passed
through our city ; this too, despite tiie
threats of certain stay-at-ho«»es, who were
verv bitter—in Words—toward the Yankees.
After the cessation of armed Hostilities
Mr. Gannon removed to Atlanta, where, by
his attention to business, he succeeded iii
tracing himself in the front rank 5M the dry
goods merchants of that city. Recently,
iu consequence of failing health, he was
necessitated to dispose of his interests to
Uapt. John Ke. ly, formerly of the 19th
Georgia Regiment—a worthy successor.
While rejoicing with our friend in his
prosperity, we sincerely condole with him
the loss of a loved sister, Mrs. Ellen Roctye,
wife of Air. William Roche of Atlanta. A
tribute to the memory of this estimable
lady will be found annexed : * * *
Departed this life, on Thursday morning
last, the 20th instant, at the family resi
dence, on Calhoun street, in ihe city of
Atlanta, Mrs. Ellen Roche, wife of Mr.
William H. Roche, after a severe illness of
several days. The deceased was born in
Knoekatubber, county Mayo, Ireland ; was
the daughter of Michael and Honora Gan
non, and sister of Mr. John Gannon, of
Atlanta. At the time of her demise, she
had reached the fortieth year of her age,
and was the mother of five living children.
She emigrated to this country iu 1847, and
was united in the holy bonds of matrimony
to her bereaved husband in the town of
Madison, State of New Jersey, in 1854, aud
after a temporary residence there settled in
Georgia in 1856, making Atlanta their
permanent home, where “ her walks in life”
was such as to endear her to very many
friends, and win the respect of all who
knew her. As wife, mother, sister, and
friend, she discharged with loving kind
uess every duty imposed upou her, till it
may, in truth, be said,
“ None kue.w her but to love her,
None named her but to praise."
Evidence was manifested on the day fol
lowing the death of this truly Christiau
woman, when the funeral ceremonies were
performed at the Catholic Church, and her
remains were being followed to their last
resting place in the city cemetery. Such a
concourse, forming a funeral proceasion,
we have seldom witnessed in Atlanta—a
weeping, mourning concourse, extending
over many squares of the city, in manifes
tation of respect and sorrow for the dear
departed one.
And thus lias passed away, “ to another
aud better world,” one who, as wife, moth
er, neighbor, Christian, won the admira
tion of all who knew her, and left desola
tion, as it were, in the household over
which she had presided. But the widowed
husband, the orphaned children, the mourn
ing relatives, who can giye tfleiq consola
tion? Let them receive it iu this: She
died having faith in the Lord! And let
them imfEMUER, ’tis the- Lord that gave,
and the Lord hath taken away. “ Blessed
BE THE NAME OF THE LORD !”
It Is true the country is young and can
not expect to rank with the oldest nations
In learning and civilization. Why not own
it, then ? Why not say so, and educate our
people upon that indisputable fact instead
of upon a foundation of self-evident fables?
Why not acknowledge that this is anew
continent, inhabited by a hardy race of Eu
ropean peasantry, whose national progress
has been wonderful, because they occupy a
new territory, which has attracted hungry
and energetic adventurers like themselves
from all the earth, and whose combined ne
cessities and energies have developed its
resources at a double-quick time ? Why
not, like men, with beards on their faces,
admit that in all that is not material, we
are behind the age—mere children in
knowledge, who have our alphabet to learn
of European masters; plebeians socially,
who have no right to look down upon each
other or any of the rest of human family;
politically, as little capable of self-govern
ment, and as Incompetently governed as
the most down trodden race of Europe;
and in a military point of view, equalled
only by Brazil, which took about as long to
conquer Paraguay as this modern Rome to
subjugate ths Southern States. >

New York, October I—A World special
from Ostend, 30th, says: “ Intense excite
ment is caused by the arrival of a messen
ger from Valenciennes with news of a
great battle, fought on the Seine, Tuesday,
27th, which resulted in the complete defeat
of the Crown Prince of Prussia, under the
guns of Mont Valerian. The victory fol
lowed by the evacuation of Versailles and
Rambonilt, and a rupture of the Prussian
line of investment. The Crowu Prince Is
retreating rapidly northward upon the
army of King William at Meaux and
Soissons.
An unofficial dispatch'from Berlin
Brussels contradicts this news, but it is
certain communication l*etweeu Paris,
Amiens and Valenciennes is partially re
opened. An unofficial proclamation of the
victory signed by Gambetta has been re
ceived in the latter city.
The Worlds correspondent at Boulogne
telegraphs tjcit exciting news has been re
ceived from Rouen of the crowning defeat
of the Prussians south of Paris, hyjGeneral
Dncivit., on Tuesday, the 27th. The
French forces, which had driven the Prus
sians from Clermont, Laßoehe, Chattillon
and other lAaees, as previously reported,
were strongly rein forced ou Monday night
by General Trochu, and advanced upon
the German position at Montreville
and Versailles early on Tuesday morning.
The I> it tie began at Vieroi'ray and Velisy,
the Germans contesting the French ad
vance with desperate energy- until assailed
by fresh columns from under the guns of
Mont Valerian at Bt. Cloud, through the
Bois de Fraucs ami Vancressou, where a
number of regi incuts of Baden troops mu
tinied ou the battle field am! refused to go
under fire. Nearly a hundred of these
troops were shot by order of the German
commander. The rest are still held back,
and mauy, throwing down their arms, dis
persed through tiie forests. The Crown
Prince was iiually compelled to retreat,
abandoning Versailles to the victorious
French.
The German column which attempted
the passage of the Seine, at. Baugjval, were
kept under a terrible fire from Fort Mont
Valerian, which converted the retreat into
a rout, and were driven in confusion be
yond St. Germaine. Night alone stopped
the pursuit. The Germans lost 5,000 pris
oners, among whom were many officers of
the staff of the Grown Prince aud fifty
cannon and initreilleuse. The road to Or
leans anil Tours is cleared of the enemy.
Touits, October I.—A balloon messenger
has arrived- He left Paris at 2 o’clock
yesterday. No Prussians were visible
near Paris. Complete silence reigned
around the city. No people were seen on
the roads leading to the city, and no boats
on the river.
The balloonist observed when over
Versailles Prussians in great numbers.
The Prussians were camped. The balloonist
dropped among them a great number of
Government proclamations printed in
the German language. The Germans
opened a sharp fire on the balloon. On
arriving over Mendon the balloon be»an
to descend, and the balloonist threw over
large packages of newspapers. He saved
letters and other valuables. The balloon
again rose, and landed many miles west of
the Prussian lines. Twenty-five thousand
letters were brought safely to the post office
at Dreux, whence he will come to Tours. A
special locomotive was placed at the dis
posal of the balloonist (named Tissander),
in which he came to Tours with Govern
ment dispatches He says the city is ad
mirably defended; half a million of sol
diers are behind the walls, well armed and
disciplined ; firing from forts is so accurate
that the Prussians are baffled in attempts
to erect batteries. The city is perfectly
tranquil. Nearly all shops are open. The
troops occupy the squares and boulevards
for drill. At 10 o’clock in the evening all
cases are closed. Electric lights afford ad
mirable protection against surprises.

will soon be scarce in the city., There Is
plenty of salt meats and breadstuffs for six
mouths.

Richmond, October L —The water here
was still rising at 1:30 o’clock, and between
300 aud 400 stores are in seven feet water
between 15th and 18th streets. The street
cars plied till noon, when the water coming
in at the windows the line was stopped
and a ferry is now run on ail the maiu
streets from 15th to 18th. Just at noon the
Manchester end of Mayo’s bridge gave
way, and half a mile of the bridge floated
down stream. All the wharves are far
under water, and the York River Railroad
depot is completely submerged. Several
small manufacturing establishments along
the river bank werp swept off. All day the
liver has been dotted over with small
houses and wrecks of houses, fencing,Mead
cattle &c., drifting down. The gas works
are submerged.
Richmond, October I.—The first wave
from the Lynchburg freshet struck here at
five o’clock this morning, and the river
commenced rising with much greater
rapidity than before, when it was only
swollen by the overflow. In three hour
the lower end of the city, known as
Rocketts, was under water, and the scene
there beggars description. Two or three
small stores were swept off with all their
contents. Families who had remained In
the houses, hoping the flood would subside,
commenced crying from the upper windows
for help. Boats were brought, and they
were saved, but the larger portion of fur
niture was lqst. Two hundred families in
that portion of the city are houseless to
night, camping out on the neighboring
hills. About noon the street cars
on Main street, which had been running
through the flood withthe water up to the
seats, gave it up, and connection between up
town and down town was made by ferries.
About this time a portion of Mayo’s pas
senger bridge, built by the United States
military after the evacuation, was swept
off, and was soon followed hv the whole
structure. Tho bridge was three-quarters
of a mile long. The water then entered
Mayo’s tobacco warehouse, 35 feet above
low water mark. All teams in the city
were impressed to save the tobacco, much
of which is for the French and German
Governments. With the exception of about
two hundred and eighty hogsheads, the to
bacco was saved.
Just here it was found that the upper
portion of the city was in danger of an
overflow from the canal, down which an
immense body of water was rushing and
spreading above the banks. The coal
was cut two miles above t >e city and the
danger abated. In the lower portion of the
city the street lamps are under water, and
the city is In darkness to-night, the gas
works being submerged. The.loss by mer
chants is greater than it would have been
if the telegrams from Lynchburg, announc
iug the flood had been heeded. It Is proba
bly $200,000.
Jjprsons well acquainted wi ll the sec
tions of the State flooded, estimate that, In
cluding railroad bridges, the loss iu the
State is $4,000,000.
To-night the bridge of the Richmond and
Danville Railroad still stands, bat as the

burst up the floors, dropping all the ma
chinery into the basement.
All the laree cotton, iron and floor mills,

by the flood to stop operations. The city
water works have also been stopped, being
so damaged they cannot be repaired in two
weeks. The reservoir only contains five
days’ supply for the city. All the icehouses
in the city are on the river bank and are 20
feet under water. The water is seven feet
higher than ever known before. A dis
patch from Lvnchburg says the river thare
is rising again.

New York, October I—-The .Timex’
special from London states the result of
the Cabinet Council yesterday, according
to the London Times , to be futher post
ponementof action of the Ministry in re
gard to mediation. This delay caunot be
of long duration. The tone of the limes
yesterday shows that the Government must
yield to public sentiment. Another’letter
from Bui wer this morning to that paper,
on the duty of England in this crisis, de
clares, as i istorical facts, that if, when the
Emperor Nicholas told Sir Hamilton Sey
mour he meditated marching his troops to
the Principalities, England had firmly pro
tested against Napolen undertaking this
war in the same manner he would not have
commenced it. Sir Henry, therefore, depre
cates the Ministerial policy of waiting for
good opportunities, which may never ar
rive.'
The weak points of the defenses of Paris,
which the Germans rely upon carrying
promptly, are the heights of Sceaux, which
approach the forts within four thousand
paces. The distance between the forts and
the city being only 1,500 more, and the gap
on the western sitfe north and south of
Mont Valerien.

A correspondent at Rome, writing on
the 24t.h says: The form of the plebiscite

the Chnrch handsomely provided for.
