Wo have roc ivcil from the publishers the

more of the attention of the civilized world at

inent of the vexed questions growing out of
the present anamolons state of rational affairs,
Invest his previous life and history with a pe
culiar ami striking interest. The work before
us opens with a spirited and well written
biogiaphical sketch, which w : have read with
great interest. The author has been particu
lar iy happy in grouping together the salient
points in bis life struggle, aud of condensing
within the compass of a few pages the most in
ten rling ir cidents of his checkered life.
Ibe “speeches” seem to have been collated

Why tiose the Mores l
About a week ago, wo published a commu
nication from the pen of ft highly esteemed
gentleman, in which ho urged the propriety of
tlie chief merchants of our city agreeing among
themselves to close their places of business
during the summer months, at 5 o’cloik in the
afterno n, iu order to allow their employees
the privilege of social recreation.
Now, why should the stores lie closed at tho
hour proposed t Surely there are no trier
chants iu all lire laud, who profess u deeper
intorcht in the young men of the country,
none who ixpress a greater willingness
to serve and none who have served them
In every way possible, than those of An
gusla. Young men of good stauaing , those
who guide their feet aright, anil prove them,
■elves worthy, seldom fail to receiva the sub
stantial cheer and assistance of our business
men. For them to adopt any course that will
advantage their employees, while, at the same
time, their own affairs are not compromised,
nerd - . nly the conviction In their own minds
that good will result from it.
It was Jeremy Taylor, who said, “if you are
for pleasure, marry—if you prisa rosy health,
nnt ii iud even if money bo your object,
unity.
A good wife is heaven’s last best gift to
linn his iingid uud minister of graces Innu
merable—his gem of inauy virtues—bis casket
of jewels her voice, the sweetest music—her
tui . n;s brightest day - tier kiss, the guor
dli*u of his iunoceuoe— her arms, the paie ot
his silcty, the halm of his health, the balsam of
his i.v—her industry, his surest wealth—her
e muiny, Ids safest steward—her lips, his
f.'dhlul counselors—her bosout. the softest
pillow of his cares and her prayers, the ablest
advocates ot heaven’s blessing ou his head.”
Where Is tlio merchant, mechanic, lawyer,
physician, preacher, editor, or any other man
who wall essay to doubt for oue moment the
tvuthtulues ■of t.ds great writer's-assertions,
iu regard to that sacred rite and its consequent
tnttueuces, and where is even tho “crusty old
1 acln loi. ' who, having deforc'd marriage so
long that ho is now too old for them ho would
wiu aud vice verso, will hesitate t« advise,
yea, almost eutreat. young men, who
would save themselves aud become useful,
to tollow Jeremy Taylor’s admirable pre
cep's. We venture the opinion, there is
not one <>f the ktnd in Augusta. On the con.
trary, they readily acquiesce In toe truth ol alt
that 1 miuent man has written on this parti
cu'ar subject But bow are youug men to
many unless they court, and how are they to
conn, unless they be granted a little time in
v: utodoso .’ Why, tbo response from all
sid s is : “it cannot be did.”
1 is respeotfully sugge.-ted that our merchants
remedy this evil, if such it may be called, by
<! r eiisv their clerks to close shop ats o'clock,
mul betake themselves to the enjoyment of j
p’.i.. intrlee lo be louad only in laides' society, to i
it.. . i l that, their minds being relieved from ;

Wo extract the following from the p- ceo l~
ngs :
•‘A debate ensued in resrard to the propered
cons ruction of a Jewish Theolog il . .:rc: .-
ry, to ho located in Phiiadelpbi.. Ire ) du-
cition of young I»raeiitiea for tbe ftabbtnic .
ministry. The motion was opposed by Mr A.
8 Cohen, who stated that it. was neces-ary before
projecting or building colleg- h 01 ? .uncurb
to tound free high schools for the Jewish
youth of tho United Sta'es, in order that they
might be prepared lully lor the higher conr.es
to be studied at col eges.
“The Chairman, Mr. Abraham Hart, and
Mr. Cohen, bad a lively discussion in regard
to the merits of the two pystems, in which
Philadelphia got the worst ot it finally.
“It was siated by Mr. Hunt that the Leg:? -
lature of Pennsylvania bad granted a charter
and privileges to the proposed colfege, equal
to those possessed by Harvard, Yale or Rut
gerc, to confer collegiate degrees.
“Addresses were then made by Mr. Kramer
Mr. Cot.en, and Mr. Isaacs.
“It was then resolved, on motion of Mr. A.
8. Cohen, to establish preparatory free seboo 3,

fer s’ng Judaism, and that « Jewish university
or college to prepare young men for the uni

rangements couhl be made
“The meeting then adjourned, at the call of
the Chair.’’
Commenting on the above resolutions and
proceedings, the Richmond Whig says, a I that
relates to this peculiar people is of concern to
the whole human family. A strange destiny
has been appointed to them by Heaven, which
the/ are now mysteriously fulfilling. Some
of tho present generation may live to see
them gathered from the distant places of the
earlb, cemented into a nation, and occupying
and enjoying their ancient heritage. A few
years ago the Israelitiah population of the

cal union, without a common ht ad or centre,
they are generally regarded, and regard them
selves as a nation.’’ Tbfy'have struggled for

Education of the Freed (’lasses.
Borne time ago, says the Memphis Appeal, wo
alluded to the fact that the clergy o' the Epis
copal Church iu South Carolina, had organized
a system lor tho proper instruction ol tho
Macks of their respeclire parishes. We havo
now to chronicle that tlie Southern Baptist
Convention, assembled recently, at Russell
ville, Ky.—on the 27th of May—took up the
subject of the religious aud secular instruction
of the negroes—including colored preachers—
in the South. An elaborate report, devising
(he ways and means for this, was submitted by
a prominent Alabama delegate, the Rev. Dr.
Tichnor, of Montgomery, which elicited some
discussion, but it was *he unanimous, earnest
opinion of the convention that the • former
masters of the Blaves should undertake their
e lucatioo for their now condition, with energy
and resolution. The report was, therefore, ac
cepted without opposition. We chronicle this
with satisfaction, as an important step by a
great body of Southern Christians—a step
wisely calculated to stay the dread work of
Extermination, which Manumission has already
set at work with such fearful swiftne a. Wo
hail these lfiovements, in tho Southern
Churches, for taking in their charge tho educa
tion of the negroos, with the liveliest satisfac
tion, assured that great good may bo evolved
from it for all concerned .
Flooih in tiik West. -.A Shreveport corres
pondent of the New Orleans Times, writi
on tbe 21st tilt., says the Red river is on the
decline as high up as Alexandria. It is ri.-iug
between there aud Shreveport. For two hun
dred miles below Shreveport, almost every
plantation is under water. The crops had
promised admirably. The rise of water has
not been equalled since 1849, when it was five
or six feet higher than this year. Tbe plat
ters are determined to replant their crops as
soon as tlie earth is sufficiently dry. Many of
them think that with a fair season they will
still be able to make a reasonably fair crop, as
many instances have occurred where good
crops were made on the river when tho seed
was put into the ground as late ae the month
ot June. There cannot, however, be more
than a fourth of a ctop raised at the mesh A
large crevasse had broken out in tbe levee of
(be Bouligny plantation, about six miles below
New Orleans. It is suspected that it w»s cut
designedly. At last accounts it was hoped that
it might bo stopped.
Montgomery and West Point Railroad,—
The Montgomery Mail says: “lhe work ol
preparing for the widening of the gnage of this
road has commenced. The widening will be
commenced at Girard, lhe track is to be
widened only a few inches, to make the regu
lar broad guage. After everything is once
prepared for this important work, all tbe rail
way stock of the road, we are informed, will
be concentrated at Columbus, and hands be
ing distributed at all points, it is thought the
actual operation of widening the entire length
will not occupy more than twenty-four hours,'
and that travel and transportation will bo but
slightly delayed. When ' the guage is once
adapted to that of all connecting roads, it will
greatly facilitate the transportation of freight
and passengers.

Houston Counit. Ga , June—lß66.
Messrs . "Eaitare:
Having had an opportunity of seeing a con
idorable portion of this county recently. 1 will
endeavor to give you an impartial account of
the prospects for a crop.
So far as I have seen there seems to be about
two-thirds of the o.iginal cotton lands in cul
tivation the present season. Owing to the
scarcity of se ,and and the quality of them, a
very poor stand is the general rule, the excep
tioas are very rare—tho continued heavy
raia= have very seriously injured the cotton
and has so retarded the working of it that
:.t toy planters have not yet gotten over with
the fir-t chopping. The grars is piayiDg sad
hav o with the cottoo. A number of planters
i-UYe become almost disheartened and are of
fering (o sell out very lotv. I have lately seen
one who was reputed a No. 1 farmer, who
ff irs six hundred acres in cotton —three hun
: ted in com with the use of tho stock, tools,
&c., and corn enough to feed on, for ten thou
sand dollars. The same land has made three
hundred bags of cotton.
The general impression is that this county
wi l not make more than one third of the
amount of cotton that she raised in 1860 An
insect, called cotton lice, sometimes very de
structive, has lately made its appearance upon
the cotton.
The corn crop is generally looking very well,
and if no protracted drought should occur this
summer, an abundant yield may be expected.
The wheat ctop of this county which hi3
ja-t been harvested, to ure a North Carolina
phrase, is “mid fling, good only.’’
There is a very general complaint of the
working ot the fresdmen, and as an evidence
that the complaint is not without cause, the
planters ard generally at least a month behind
with their crops, this is owing in part, however,
to an unusual wet spring 80 far as my knowl
edge ext nds there havo been very few difficul
ties between the whites nnd blacks, and those
few h ve been of a trivial nature and promptly
adjusted, generally to the entire satisfaction of
both parties by tha gentlemanly agent of the
Bureau, Coi. .1. D. liavia, a citizen of this coun
ty. No man who is disposed to deal fairly
with iho blacks cm ju3tly complain of the
operations of the Freedmen’s Bureau as ad
ministered by General Tilsoa, and when we
take into consideration the fact that there is
:o limit to the construction of military law, we
have abundant cause to feel that we have been
blest by his appointment. K.

dickens’ readings.
Amidst all this fashionable and time-killing
foideroi, there is one entertainment which de
serves more than a passing mention, and that is
the readings, from his own works, with which
Dickens isnighiiy feasting large and fashionable
audiences. Borne months since the distinguish
ed writer made an arrangement with the
Messrs. Chappel, by which he agreed to read
from his writings two evenings in each week
for a certain number of months. For each
night he was to receive fifty pounds sterling and
his expenses. The plan has been attended with
great success, and crowds have thronged the
house whenever he appeared. Thousands have
taken the opportunity of seeing face to face
him who has been lor years one of their do
mestic idols, and-thus testifying to the respect
and popularity which he enjoys wherever his
works are known. And where are his writings
not known 1 Where are Pickwick and his
club, Nicholas Nickieby and David Coppcrfield,
Oliver Twist and Mr. Dombey, Mrs. Todgers
and Sairey Gamp, “familiar in our mouths as
household words I*’ Where are not the brothers
Cheeryble and Sam Weller, Mr. Pecksniff and
Mark Tapley, as near to us as those with whom
we have grown up, and wnose characters and
peculiarities are as well defined as those of our
most intimate friends. They are ever with us
by night and by day. They are all neighbors’
fare. They are a banquet for king and for
peasant, for the rich and the poor, the learned
and the ignorant, for all classes and conditions
of society. They ever appeal to our better part
of man, and link us in all the bonds of that corns
mon humanity with which nature has endowed
our race and made the whole world kin, and
while doing the perfect work assigned to her
from the beginning, and laying broad and deep
the foundations, has planted in every heart a
sympathy for the hopes and the fears, the joys
and the sorrows, of even the humblest and poor
est. What Cowper tersely wrote of the “natur-
al brotherhood of min,” and Burns in the
graphic and etirring lines set forth for our learn
ing when he said, “the man’s the man for a’
that.” Dickens has portrayed in a thousand
lorms for the delight of our age. Through him
the life of the humble has acquired a fresh
vitality. He has presented theqp as before iu a
way that lew or none can resist. He has gone
out into the highways and hedges, and com
pelled them to come in. In their simple enjoy
ments, the purity of the domestic life, their in
nocent and untainted affections, their quaint
and characteristic ways, the hidden manliness
which the. world knoweth not, he has excited
an interest that will never die: His works are
the poetry of the poor, and form as noble a
tribute to our humanity as our age has witness
ed. It is thus that our perennial harvest ever
springs up in the footsteps of genius. It is no
wonder that he is popular, that he is “of all
sorts enchantingly betoved,” that a divinity in
our hearts more exhalted and exalting, more
devoted and more manly loyal than that which
“doth hedge a king,” involuntarily springs up
and protects him round with thousands of grates
ful hearts.
DESCRIPTION OF DICKENS.
The readings that Mr. Dickens has given in
London, have all taken place at St. James’
Hall, Picadilly. Its situation is very critical,,
and it has always been popular as a place of
amusement, The principal room will accom
modate about two thousand five hundred peo
p'e, and every night hundreds have been turned
away for want of seats. In order to allow of
the attendance of all conditions in society, there
are three prices of admission. Seats in the
main body of the house cost five shillings, those
in the balcony three, and the rest, principally in
a higr: gallery and far off in the back-ground,
are sold for two. In the rear of the stage is a
large screen covered with crimson cloth. In
front is a small reading stand, over which a tall
frame work, about eight feet square, consisting
of a gas pipe, hidden by a broad band of crim
son. From this issue forth many small jets of
light, which, ol course, shed a bright glow upon
the speaker, and bring out his form and features
in strong relief. Precisely at eight, Dickens
makes his appearance, with white kids, a red
rose in his button hole, and a jaunty little walk
ing stick with an ivory handle. He is in full
evening dress of black, and wears no jewelry
but a ring and watch chain. He steps briskly
forward swinging his cane, and at once taking
his stand at the desk, without any preliminary
introduction, quietly surveys his audience.
Long and loud continued clapping announces
his presence, but he does not begin. An Eng
lish audience are never punctual, and by twos
and threes they continue to pour in long after
his a.rival. Dickens calmly waits until all is
quiet. He is a man of gentlemanly and polish
ed exterior, His head is quite bald, and he
wears a moustache and whiskers. His hair is
gray, and he has evidently long out grown the
“Boz” of younger days. His expression is
genial, and his manner confident, though un
assuming. Though he has a slight stoop, yet
his form is manly and of good proportions.
There is but little expression of character in his
face, and his cheeks are ruddy, as of one who
loves good cheer. His ears are set very far
back, which is generally regarded as a sign of
great intellectual power. His forehead is high,
and the labors of fifty-four years have not left a
wrinkle upon it. Evidently his works have
been done with ease and love, as the natural
outspringing of a mind fuli of subjects that
were dear to him, and causing' little mental
anxiety. Altogether Dickens strikes one as a
man who has spent a half century, not in the
exhausting labors of literature, but in the enjoy
ment of a life passed in the jovial, perhaps too
jovial, society of good company and boon com- j
panions, but has for years been “full warm of :
blood, of mirth, of gossiping, nor met with for
tune other'than at feasts.”
DR. marigold.
’ It is full twenty minutes past eight before the
voice of the reader strikes upon the ear, and all
else is hushed. The part is Dr. Marigold, “the
Cheap Jack,” and though the book is before
him, the speaker never opens it, but trusts to
his memory, which never fails him, to the end.
As has often been illustrated by his own ap
pearance in private theatricals, Dickens has a
great degree of dramatic talent, and in his read
ings it is used with admirable results. Though
he has not much facial expression, though he
has not that nervous sensitiveness which many
great actors possess, and which makes Mr.
Home, the spiritualist, so effective as a reader,
yet he has other qualities that render his de
livery very impressive. He has a good voice
and an animated expression. His hands are
used freely and with excellent effect. He is
never entirely forgetful of his audience or lost in
his part, and yet he shows throughout that nice
appreciation of each character which every au
thor might be expected to posses for the child
ren of his braih. His air, his gestures and his
voice; in short, clearly express his sympathy
with the more delicate lights and shadows of the
parts he impersonates, and give his audience a
deeper insight into the inner life of those whom
they thought they knew so well before. The
story of Dr. Marigold he read with a mingled
humor, pathos, and naivete that I never sup
posed it capable of. This tollowed by
THE TRIAL SCENE.
From the Pickwick Papers ]
And here the abilities of the reader secured a
great, though an oft repeated triumph. As an
actor, he showed more varied talent and strong
er contrasts than before. It was really a feast
fit for the gods to hear his renderings of the
performers in that world renowned litigation.
I will venture to say that never before did his
hearers have such a vivid presentation of any
one of them. Sam. Weller, the Mercutio of
the Pickwick Papers; Mr. Justice Starleigh,
that bloated squad of judicial imbecility, the
Pickwick of the bench; Mr. Sergeant Btrzfuz,
with his legal flummery and bunkum talk to the
jury ; Mrs. Cluppins and her loquacious twaddle
on the stand—all these were in turn set before
us, each “in his habit as he lived,” and as he or
she.originally doubtless appeared to the mind
of their author. Great was the enjoyment of
the audience, and loud their applause, as fea
ture by feature these characters were unfolded
and lit up with tints unseen before. It was to
some of us like meeting with old friends at the
place of their birth, after years of separation
We could only be thankful that such an oppor
tunity for mental delight and improvement had
been granted us, though in the minds of some
it was tainted by the thought that the whole
operation was a mercenary one from beginning
to end ; that it was a mere mercantile specula
tion on the part of ail concerned ; that Dickens
wished to make as much as he could out ot the
Messrs. Chappell, and that the latter would be
glad to “coin the former’s brain for drachmas,”
if they could make it pay. But in this age all
authors are given to money making; “tig but
to clip his locks they follow now the golden
haired Appollo as the innkeeper remarked to
Don Quixote, “money and clean shirts are very
essential to success in life.” Terpsichore dances
and Polyhymnia sings for a guinea a night, and
“now lies the earth all Dans to the star*” (oper
atic and other) that nightly and daily illumine
the -great world of London. Let us then per
sistently shut out the golden mean, take the
goods tne gods provide, and thu* shall we bene
fit in the grand finale,

Probable Release of Jrflerson Davis.
Washington, June 9.
It D inmored to night that the President has
consented to release Jefferson Davis on bail,
but the statement is cot authenticated.
Horace Greely and Cornelius Vanderbilt are
said to be tho sureties offered by O’Connor
for bis eiieut.
Congressional.
Washington, June 7.
The Congressional proceedings are without
importance.
Davis addressed the Senate against the Re
construction Bill, aud denounced tho Radical
policy.
The Radicals will endeavor to force a vote
this week. Tiiere is no doubt of its passage
by the required two-thirds vote.
The Commissioner cf_ Internal revenue de
cides that interest and dividends derived from
stocks are regarded as income, derived from
“fixed Investments,” without reference
to time, during which these Stocks are
held. But when gains derived from sale of
stocks involve interest, received or accrued
euch gains may be regarded as derived from
business alone. The value of property used
in business less the amount of insurance may
be deducted when lost from gains and profit
of business.
Washington, June 9,
Senator Poland, to whom was referred the
Bankrupt bill which recently passed the House,
wil! probably make a favorable report to the
Judiciary Committee next week, but there is
very little prospect of the passage of the bill

than there is time for the Senate to indulge in"
Richmond, June 7.
In the United States District Court the
Grand Jury presented several true bills. The

lore from the Fenian?.
New York, June 9.
The interest of Fenian situation centres in
a small command. Gen. Spear is half a mile
across the border line. A portion of his cav
alry made a dash into Fridlighsburg yesterday,
routed tho'British force and captured one Brit
ish flag. Gen, Spear immediately commenced
intrenching. The [morale of tho army is very
bad, Desertions are the rule, while companies
are making tracks for the nearest home trans

owing to the continued stringency in the

REVIEW OF NEW YORK STOCK AND MONEY
MARKET.
New York, June 6.
The Commercial’s money article says the
stock market is quiet but firm, the speculative
interest being confined to New York Central,
Erie, ‘Reading and Northwestern. The latter
stock is being manipulated by a strong clique.
At the Board the price rose 1$ on the common
stock, closing at 31J, and 61$ for preferred.
New York Central is firmer, under the pur
chase of shorts. After the Board, £ per cent
was paid on borrowed stock. The stock is
very largely oversold, but it is supposed that
the party most largely short has covered a large
portion of his contracts. The miscellaneous
list continues du'l.
Government securities are quiet but steady;
5 20s are a fraction better on the foreign news.
The issue of 1862 sold at 102} at the board,
and after the board 102} was bid. Private
dispatches report 5-20s at the close of Saturday
at 655, Erie 42$ and Illinois Central 765: and
also state that no further failure had occurred,
this intelligence is accepted hero as indicating
that affairs had touched their lowest point of
depression, and that a steady recovery may be
anticipated henceforward. The etfsc* of the
news has been unfavorable to the buils in gold.
Soon aitor opening the gold room tiie prices
jumped up to 145|, but fell under the Africa’s
intelligence to 144
The total amount of specio shipments from
here and Boston to-day was $3,075,000. There
is rather more demand for money from the
street, but the supply seeking borrowers is
large, and call loans arc made chiefly at 5 per
cent, with exceptions at 6 par cent; discount
continues moderately active.
Commercial paper regarded as a good in
vestment at 6*7 per cent, and is taken at those
rates freely, in preference to landing on call at
5 per cent. Foreign exchange is nominal, and
the indications are uncertain as to the demand
for sight Dills for next steamer, but thus far
there appears to be more inquiry for sixty days
bills.
At the 4 o’clock Board the following were
the transactions: Cumberland 46, Specio 44J-,

THE CHARLESTON MARKET.
Charleston, J une 8,
Cotton —The continued unsettled and disas
trous condition of European affairs places cot
ton sellers at a disadvantage, and has, during
the past week, confined the transactions to the
most limited re fie, and on some days the mar
ket was either at a stand or the sales were so
small as hardlv to be worthy of a report.—
Prircs have also b—u very irregular and unset
tled, and it is almost impossible to give quo
tations that will apply to the market general
ly. Matters are likely to remain in this unsat
isfactory condition until Europe settles down
upon a policy either of peace or war; the pies*
ent uncertainty keeps everything deranged
causing the preseut heavy fluctuation in the
value of gold, and rendering nil mercantile
calculations uncertain. On Friday last the
Ist iustaat, some snles, amounting to thirty
bales, occurred, the higher qualities of the
staple selling for 35a36 cents per lb. The
market was completely at a stand n Saturday
not a bale being sold. Some sixty bales Wt rg
