AUGUSTA, GEO..
TUESDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 22. 1846.
TT* rotn the Charleston Courier receiv
ed last evening, we learn (hat the South Car
olina Legislature adjourned on Friday last.
J he Columbia correspondent of the Cour
ier furnishes a list ol the Acts passed by the
Legislature, among which, is one to “abol
ish the tare on bales of (’often.”
fTTThose who admire curiosities can be
gratified by visiting Col. Challm the dwarf-
the American dwarf, as he styles himself. He
is certainly a curiosity. We have seen this
one, and also the Tom Thumb now in Eng
land. Ibe latter is tbe most pleasing in ap
pearance, being a very portly, and very small
boy. The former is a remarkably small man
and exactly tbe reverse of handsome.
.4. A'-’ie Ire llnnse. — VV e are pleased to
per(< ive t lat the foundation is laid for a new
Ice House to be erected on Ellis-street, next
to Archy s Oyster House. The workmen
are now busily engaged upon it. ‘-Compe
tilion is the life of trade,” and,with a rival to
the Jackson-sfreet Ice Company, we will
have Ice we hope,at half former rates. There
M ill be, at such a reduction, more ih hi twice
the quantity consumed, and both buyer and
seller will be benefited.
I be high prices which have prevailed for
this luxury, have amounted to a prohibition
to many families; who, we hope in future will
be able to enjoy its free u-e,
J- Ibe public will not soon forget the dis
creditable effort made on tbe second day of
the present, Session ot Congress to suppress
the circulation of the President’s Message
among our German population, by the refusal
of the House to have printed 5000 copies in
that language. The motion to print was in
accordance with custom, and hitherto, was
always carried without a division. It was a
matter ot course, and it was no more than
right and just to that large and valuable por
tion of American citizens whose native lan
guage is the German. Tbe Savannah Re
publican, a few days since, expressed some
very jn.>t and appropriate sentiments upon
the subject in commenting on and censuring
the vote which defeated this motion, As
the remarks were a culling reproof to the
littleness ot that .party spirit which the Whigs
manifested in voting against it, we thought
the Republican intended to do a magnani
mous thing. We though! it intended Intake
real American ground, and io insist that the
Gentians were entitled, without respect to
party, to have the same privileges with other
citizens of our common country, to read that
important State paper, and should have been
provided with tjie usual facilities by means of
a translation into their own language. But
the Republican destroyed all claim to man 1 -
.
nanimity, by a disingenuous efthrt u> make
political capital out of the circumstance, and i
that too, at the expense of 1 tie facts and
merits of the case. The Republican insinu- i
ales that the democrats defeated ilje motion, !
as a punishment to tbe Germans ofT’enusyl- i
vaiiia fur the recent defection of that State ;
from the Democrn L party. The Republican
knows that this is not so. The Democrats
have no fears hut that the Germans will
prove true to those republican principles
which they came to this country to enjoy,
nor of their adherence to that party which
maintains those principles in thei? purity.
This is the Democratic party. Nor do tiie
JT'int crats desire to punish any class of men
for voting according to iheir own judgment.
J his is a free country, and freedom of speech,
opinion and voting is the right of all, of every
party,clime.and language. It would be very
/short sighted, viewed as a matter of policy,
for the Democrats as a party to desire to cur
fail the circulation of the message. It has
produced a most powerful impression on the
public mind in favor of Lite Administration,
and has given a degree of strength to the
cause of Democracy, which will defy all
efforts of tbe Whigs, whether open or secret,
Io produce prejudice and weaken it in popu
lar confidence.
O'Among the attractions of the Christmas
holidays offered to this community, is the
Fair to be I eld on the evening of the 23d
inst., by the ladies of the Baptist Church,
'i'fie approach of the annual season for mer
ry making and congratulations among friends
we hope will have its influence in prompting
a liberal patronage of tbe enterprise.
We are told that some very handsome nov
elties will be displayed, and that tbe whole
affair will be got up iu a style of unusual ele
gance.
O'We publish a slip from the office ofthe
Baltimore Sun, vvitli foreign news by the
steamer Cambria, It strikes us "that one
item is a little improbable, to w it: that twelve
of the Royal family ot France have died of
the cholera. This is certainly a misprint.
Some other Royal family must be meant,
not quite so far westward.
The news both political and commercial is
quire important, and the full accounts will
be looked for with much interest.
iCrPublic attention is invited to the ex
tensive sale of Bank Block, and of Real Es
tate in the city of Augusta, advertised in our
columns to take place on the first Tuesday
in January next at the lowa r market house,
by the administrator of James Fraser.
By reference to various advertisements it
will be seen that extensive sales of Negroes,
Real Estate and other properly will be made
at the same time and place. We therefore
anticipate a large attendance from a distance.
Movemeets of the Volunteer* —The Fa'ffield,
|«inra«ter and Ablieviie Companies arrived a tbe
l amp ground on Saturday last. There are now
in camp upwards of 900 nlen. The ahttvo com-
panies will be mustered into service this morning
at 10 o’clock. We understand that the Regiment
w ill leave on Wednesday, fur Hamburg; and from
thence they will leave for the scene of action
