his home at four o’clock in the evening for
'he purpose of going fishing. Arriving at
Kirk’ii Fence, near South Boundary street,
ho sat down on the bank of the river by
himself and commenced fishing. He had
been employed in this manner for some
time when, by some moans or other, he
lost hi' balance and fell into the water. No
assistance near, and being unable to swim,

Wounding and Capture of a Bur
glar.—On yesterday morning as Lieut.
K. B. Purcell, of the Police foroe, was
riding along Fenwick street, between
Twiggs and Mclntosh he saw walking down
on the sidewalk a negro man whom ho
recognized as I at. Saxon, a notorious bur
glar who has been operating very exten
sively recently in this city and vicinity. At
the same moment that the Police officer
saw the rogue, the rogue saw the Police
officer, and immediately took to his heels.
11 is first movement was to scale a high wall
and jump over into a private yard, but the
officer shooting at him whilst doing this,
put a ball from a Colt’s revolver in his
arm, near tho shoulder blade. Saxon,
however, still continued his flight running
through yards and gardens, attempting to
escape on another side of the square, but
Lieut. Purcell, with his horse in a gallop,
rode around tho square, headed him twice
as he emerged, and shot at him each
time, but without effect. The burglar’s
third trial was more successful and
ho managed to scale tho wall, but the
officer was close enough to him when he
did so to shoot, a fourth time, the ball en
tering the right side near tho hip. Despite
his two wounds, Saxon ran until he came
near the Central Railroad depot, where he
was surrounded by the mechanics employ
ed there and captured. He was taken to
tliD Jail, where tho balls were extracted by
Dr. Steiling Eve. His wounds arc not
considered very dangerous. Saxon is a
native of Savannah, where, some time
siuce, he was convicted of burglary and
seutonced to three years imprisonment in
the penitentiary, lie made his escape
from that institution not long since, and
has lately been in e mcealincnt near this
city, lie has never lot nu opportunity es
cape of practicing his profession, and has
robbed many of the farmers of this coun
ty, among others Messrs. Wolfe and
Burch, an account of which was recently
given iu this paper.
Tin a l (e Assessor Bowles. —As j
state 1 in tho Chronicle & Sentinel of
yesterday morning, the trial of Colonel J. j
Bowles, Assessor of Internal Revenue for
the Third 1> strict of Georgia, commenced
on Friday morning in tho room of Mr. M.
•I. Saflbld, Supervisor of Internal Revenue
lor Georgia, Alabama aud Florida, at tho
Planters' Hotel in this city. The Assessor
is charged with malfeasance in office. Tho ■
charges were preferred against him by ■
Mr. Lile'ii, formerly an officer iti the
n venue under Col. Bowles, but recently
discharged l>y the latter. From what we
an learn of tho facts of the eise, it
seems that many months since some
thing happened in the office between the
two officials named, which caused a
coolness to arise between the parties
and finally ended by their refusing
to spiab to < aoh other. Shortly alter this, i
Mr. ljof.au preferred charges against Col. j
Bowles to the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue in Washington City, and a few
weess since was himself discharged from
his position in the service and another wau ■
appointed in hi* stead. A few days ago, .
the Supervisor, Mr. Saffold, received in- j
struetions from Deputy Commissioner ;
Harlan to come to this city and investigate !
the eli-ve < ere!erred against the Assessor, I
and in obe ! , ee to these insyuotions is
now at tb. Fitters’ as mentioned above.
The ehai; . ;iu >, we believe, four in num
ber, aud ..r- in substance as follows:
FTrst. Tiint Col. Bowles *t?nt a parcel
containing a ; :>i t f hoots to his biotbcr.in
Milledgevi ie, through the United Butea
Mail, the pai k.<ge tr.rrkc-i official business,
and franked l y ti.o A-sensor.
Second. That be :turned J. K. Bryant
aud others in the employ of the Depart
ment though these men were members of
the ( -.institutional Convention of tsfip, and
drew pay as such from tho State Treasury.
Third. That when the negro organ, the
Motional KepulMcan, was first published
in this city, the Assessor eoutraoted with
D. G. (Jotting to pay, and did pay him six
dollars au J a half per diem, his salary as
Assistant Assessor for Wilkes county,
though Cutting remained in Augusta and
“edited ’ tb«j sheet above named.
F'ourlh. That he retained J. K. Bryant
in his office iu the Department while the
latter was a member of the Legislature.
To support these charges the witnesses
examined on F’riday were Foster Blodgett,
K. H. Fughe, Theodore E Beuhier, John
W. Cates and Edward E. Pritchard.
Owing to the faet that Supervisor Saffold
has no clerk with him to asatst iu takiug
down evidence adduced the investigation
progresses very slowly aud wifi probably
Consume several days of uext week.
i The Ram.road War.—Just one week
ago to day it was announced in the
Chronicle & Sentinel that the City
! Council of Augusta bad appointed a com
mittee to proceed to Charleston and try
and effect a compromise between the
j Columbia & Augusta and 'South Carolina
! Railroads, that would put a stop to the
hostilities now existing between the two
corporations. This Committee returned
i and made a report of their mission to
I Council at the meeting on Friday night
last, and we obtained this report, the prop
ositions made by the city to the South Caro
; liua Railroad Cos., the reply of the latter and
its propositions to the Council Committee,
and would have published them in yester
day morning's issue had it not been that
tba Council requested that the affair
should be kept secret for the present.
As the President of the South Carolina
, Railroad Company, however, has
furnished the two propositions to the
Charleston Courier , i Q which they ap
peared yesterday, we now publish them
as they appeared in that paper. We make
this explanation for the purpose of showing
that it has been through no want of enter
prise on the part of the Chronicle &
Sentinel that these interesting papers
were not published before, but solely in
compliance with a request made by the
City Council of Augusta :
PROPOSALS OF THE COMMITTEE APPOINTED
JiY THE CITY COUNCIL OF AUCUBTA, GA.
Ist. The South Carolina Railroad Com
pany shall consent to the use of their right
of way from Graniteville to Hamburgh, by
the Columbia and Augusta Railroad Com
pany, and for which the Columbia and
Augusta Railroad shall pay fai» compensa
tion, and in the event of these two roads
disagreeing as to what is a fair compensa
tion, then the matter to be referred to the
Superintendents, or Cnicf-Engineers of the
Georgia Railroad, Macon and Augusta
Railroad, ami the Western and Atlantic
Railroad, audio the event of the failure of
either one, oral! of the above named arbi
trators to act, then the City Council to
name other parties to act in the place of
those who may thus decline. This is to be
done within six months from the accept
ance ol this agreeUK lit, both parties agree
ing to abide by the decision of said arbi
trators.
2nd. That till tbe Columbia and Au
gusta Railroad shall have completed their
bridge across the Savannah Railroad, tho
South Carolina Railroad is to allow them
(the Colombia and Augusta Railroad) the
use of their bridge and track, so as to en
able the Columbia and Augusta Railroad
to connect with the Georgia Railroad and
other railroads connecting in the city.
3rd That the Columbia & Augusta Rail
road shall at their own proper expense,
build a bridge across the Savannah River
opposite Washington street, of sufficient
width to allow of two tracks, the one tor
themselves and the other for (lie uscof the

repairs to be done by both Companies
equally.
4th. After these respective tracks shall
have crossed t he bridge, then ata convenient
point between Bay and Reynolds streetsthe

at their mutual expense. Then use one
track til( connected with the Street Rail

to arrauge for passing over their track on
Washington street, connecting with the
Georgia Railroad Passenger Depot.
sth. With a view to harmonize the con
flicting interests of tbe Columbia & Augu
sta Railroad, and the South Carolina Rail
road, the City Council propose to waive
all back claims against the South Carolina
Railroad Company, claims arising from
non-compliance on their part with their
contracts with the city, provided that for
the future, they and ail other railroads en
tering the city, will be held to a strict ac
countability for forfeiture of contract.
6th. All litigation to close.
, 7th. The South Carolina Railroad shall
relinquish aud surrender all claims of
rights or privileges, which they might

Augusta, April 9th, 1869.
PROPOSALS (IN REPLY) OF THE COMMITTEE
FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD COMPANY.
To Messrs. •/. T. Gardiner, Chairman,
Wright, Allen, Goodrich and Meyer,
Committee of the City Council of
Augusta:
< Gentlemen : —The Committee of the
South Carolina Railroad Company decline,
with regret, the plan proposed by the Com
mittee of the City Council of Augusta, for
settling the difficulties arising out of the
construction of the Columbia and Augusta
Railroad.
The relations between the Company they
represent and the city of Augusta are of
an aucient date, and have always been on
the most friendly character, anti the best
disposition prevails on th part of tiro
South Carolina Railroad to maintain those
relations inimpaired.
They assure the Committee from Augus
ta that the'Company have always been in
the belief that their several contracts with
the City of Augusta, had at all times been
fulfilled by the Company iu a mannor en
tirely satisfactory to the City Council. No
claims for violations thereof have ever
on them, and this Committee,
cannot admit that sueh claims exist or con
sent to make them the subject of negotia
tion.
They believe the matter in dispute can
bo simplified, and that as far as the City of
Augusta is concerned, they may be easily
and promptly settled.
Between them ami the South Carolina
Railroad, the only matter in debsteisthe
repayment of the subscription made by the
South Carolina Raiuoad to the capital
stock of the Macon Railroad, according to
the resolntion of the City Council of 18th
December, 1861.
Tho consideration received thcrelor, by
this company, is the exclusive right of con
necting with other railroads in the city of
Augusta; no other railroad from Charles
ton or Columbia, under the resolution of
the City Council, can be admitted tb the
enjoyment of this privilege without first
tendering to the Sou h Carolina Railroad
the repayment of the said subscription, and
of the interest thoreon. The city now de
sire to accord this privilege to the Colum
bia and Augusta Railroad Company. The
South Carolina Railroad will meet this
proposal in a spirit of liberality and of
friendship. Instead of insisting upon the
return of the entire sum of their subscrip
tion, and of tho interest thereon, as pro
vided in tho resolution of the City Council,
they offer to relinquish the exclusive cn
joymont of this privilege on receiving one
half of the said sum of principal aud inter
est; Provided, that all privileges enjoyed
by other railroads in the city of Augusta,
or hereafter conferred on any railroad,
shall be likewise extended to the South
Carolina Railroad. This will remove the
only impediment to the entrance of the
Colombia and Augusta Railroad into Au
gusta, and settle the only question con
nected therewith in which the city of Au
gusta is directly implicated; and this com
mittee indulge tho hope that it may be ac
cepted as a separate aud distinct propos
ition, and thus remove all cause of disquie
i tude between the city of Augusta and this
company. The only matter in dispute
with the Columbia aad Augusta Rail*
.road consists now in the opposition
j made by the South Carolina Railroad
to the construction of the former Road on
i their rights of way aad over their land.
I This opposition has been made by the Di
rectors of the South Carolina Railroad
from a sense of the duty imposed upon
! them by the great trust of which they are
I the custodians and guardians. They hope
| this motive will be recognized and admitted
■ by the Committee train Augusta, and the
j South Carolina Railroad Company reliev
| ed from all suspicion of less worthy motives.
They are willing to meet the Committee
from Augusta in the spirit that animates
that Committee, and to make a sincere ef
fort to compose the differences, and put an
end to the litigation that have grown out
j of this opposition.
It has been alleged that the encroach
meats they oppose cause them no damage
and no iuconveniecoe. This is an er
roneous impression. If the South Caro
lina Railroad did not possess, in their opin
ion, th' right io insist upon tin removal.of
the track of tho new Road beyond the
boundaries of their lands, and of their
right of way, they would cheerfully pay
ten thousand dollars to effect it.
in a spirit of compromise they make the
following proposals:
First, They will consent to the present
line of the Columbia & Augusta Railroad
irack on the payment of fifty thousand
dollars as a consideration therefor : or,
Second, They will leave the question of
compensation in abeyance until the Courts
| shall have decided what the rights of the
South Carolina R dlroad are.and then they
j will leave the amount of compensation to
l>c made by the Coiijmbia and Augusta
Railroad, to be fined by three competent
persons, one to be selected by eagh of the
two Companies, ami a third to be appoint
ed by the two thus selected.
’i he acceptance of either of those two
proposals, and of that in relation to ccter
! iog Augusta, wid remove all hindrances of
! the way of both of the city of Augusta and
the Columbia & Augusta Railroad, and
leave them free to carry all their plans into
operation. It is deemed better for the
1 interests of the two Companies that each
j should eoter Augusta upon its own tract
and bridge; it is against the interests and
■ convenience of the South Carolina Rail
r 'ad to give to another Company the use
of its bridge and of the track in Angusta,
which forms its means of connection with
the Georgia Railroad and other railroads
in Augusta, and they do not desire to ne
gotiate for such an arrangement.

Augusta as seen by a Savannah Man
j —Some sour old dyspeptic from Savannah
has recently paid a visit to Augusta and
gives bis ideas of the city and people in
the following lettc-r, which we cut from the
Savannah Newt of' Thursday :
Augusta, Ga., April 13.
Editors Morning News :—A welcome —
cordial and hearty—awaited your corre
spond jnt upon his arrival in this cheerful
looking city. I have met many true and
warm-souled friends, and tbeir kindness
cannot soon be effaced from the tablets of
memory.
I find Augusta in a state of comparative
quiesence commercially, but soc-ia'ly and
religious, aeti'dy and thoroughly alive.
My advent occurring on the Sabbath, as
soon as 1 eould rid myself of the dust accu
mulated on the Georgia Central, and swal
low a cup of Goldstein’s inimitably pre
pared tea, I wended my way to the Church
of God. A stranger to these streets, I fol
lowed the crowd and soon found myself in
St. John s Methodist Episcopal, on Greene
street, where iu a very few minutes after
my arrival every seat was occupied. The
occupant of the pulpit, the Rev. Armeniua
VVright, announced as his theme, the
“True Church and its True Head.” It
was purely polemical and aimed solely at
the Roman Ca holic Church. As I make'
it a rule never to leave the House of God
during service, I heard the minister
through on this occasion, but nn without
some regret that I had not been drifted by
the crowd into a church where controversy
would have been ignored. The speaker is
evidently a man of ability, but the day is
past wlicu the dogmas of tho Roman
Church can beeffeatively combatted in this
section. A word as to the singing. It was
simply execrable. A finer toned organ I
never iistened to, but the vocalism was in
tolerable. I would advise choir practice,
and a plenty of it.
Augusta is improving in many respects-
Blio is extending her limits ; she is renew
ing her pavements; she is repairing her
dwellings; increasing her gas lamps, and
multiplying and replenishing her popula
tion. More children I have rarely seen.
Children with stronger lungs I have never
known, 'fou should hear them cry. They
open their little mouths much wider and
keep them open much longer than do the
babies of Savannah.'
But in one matt r (and an important one
it. is, too), Augusta must yield the palm
to Savannah. I allude to the beauty of
the women. Savannah is far ahead of the
Augusta people in this regard. During a
sojourn ol' four days in the Forest City, I
saw but one ugly woman, and 1 heard sub
sequently shat she was a visitor from
Vermont. At that supper held in Stans
bury’s Hall, for the benefit of the Presby
terian Church, there were congregated
more pretty women in a single night than
I have seen in many large cities during an
entire month.
The cotton trade here bids fair to rival
that of Savannah. The article is reaching
here in considerable quantities for so ad
vanced a stage of the season, and selling
well.
I have had an agreeable and edfying con
versation since my arrival here with Gov
ernor Alfred Cummings, Gov. C. was
appointed by President Buchanan Govern
or of Utah Territory, a position which he
filled four years He relates many inter
esting facts concerning the manners and
customs of the Mormons; but says they
have been greatly traduced and maligned.
They religiously believe polygamy to be
right, and in that country it is very rarely
that you meet with what abounds in every
large city, and many small ones, on the
Atlantic coast; I mean the “social evil.”
The Governor says he had no trouble with
Brigham. There was no jarring nor dis
cord. He did not go there to interfere
with the religious rights of the people; "but
simply to assert the authority of the Unit
ed States. In doing this he encountered
no opposition. The Governor is a noble
looking specimen of' Georgia manhood —as
hale, hearty and robust at sixty-eight, as I
be was at thirty-five, and weighing nearly
or quite 400 pounds avoirdupois.
An interesting firemen’s parade occurs
to-day. The A. I. F. Company Georgia
‘will christen their new steam lire engine
by a parade, an address, collation, etc.
This will make four steam fire engines with
which Augusta is supplied. She has a
superabundance of water, and the result is I
that insurance risks are secui*4 hero at. a
lower premium than any ether eity of the i
Union.
A feature of Augusta is the drug store j
of W. 11. Tutt, on Broad street. Your ,
correspondent has visited nearly every
large eity in the United States,<but he has
certainly seen no store that equaled Tutt’s
in extent, elegance or completeness of ar
rangement. The soda water fountain and
surroundings cost $1,200, and are in every
sense of the word magnificent. No one
should visit Augusta without calling at
Tutt’s. A look at the fountain is inspirit
ing, but a draught from its depths is ex
hilarating,
I am sojourning at the “Planters,”
which, under the management of mine host
Goldstein, is as nice a spot as I desire on
Georgia soil. Tho beds are scrupulously
neat and clean; the clerks and assistants
are courteous andattentive, and the cuisine
is equal to any. Luscious Tendessee beef,
delicious Virginia mutton, Carolina hams,
Georgia chickens, and Florida oranges are
not to be seen elsewhere every day. Com
mend me and mine to the Planters’ all the
time.
Very truiy yours, Trojan.
We were disposed to let this letter pass
without notice, if it had not been for the
slur thrown upon tho Augusta babies and
tho Augusta women. Now, without,
knowing who “Trojan” is, we’ll bet high
that the correspondent is a superanuated
old bachelor, or shrewish old maid, who
never had a baby, in her life, and standsno
chance of ever having such an article.
Why, if there is any one peculiar institu
tion of this city that its people pride them
selves on more than another, it is their ba
bies. We’ve got a larger number
of the biggest, tiealthiest, prettiest
and loudest-crying juvcailes than any
other city of a similar size in the Union.
“Trajan” objects to tbeir crying so loud
and so often ; why what an old Trojan it
is not to know that crying is exclusively a
baby’s prerogative. We wouldn’t give a
fig for a baby that didn’t know how to
squall when occasion required. Its their
right, and when they don’t exercise it, its a
sign that there's something wrong. Its
true, no doubt, that Augusta babies cry
louder than the little puny, dried -up, half
dead juveniles of Savannah ; and when we
consider the foul atmosphere and un
healthy climate of the latter city our only
wonder is that they are able to cry at all.
»As to Trojan's remark about the small
number of pretty women here, that only
, excites a smile ot oontemp: for the want of
1 taste and appreciation displayed by the
writer. For the past ten years Augusta
has, by the best judges, been pronounced
to have more beautiful women tbau any
j other city in the Union, and we will wager a
! sum equal to the national debt of the coun
try against a counterfeit three cent piece
1 that “Trojan” is some old bummer so ex
tremely ugly that all the ladies here turn
■ cd their heads when they met him and
thus he had no opportunity of judging
whether they were handsome or otherwise.
01 R NEW VORK CORRESPONDENCE.
SPECIAL COEEJtsroXDEXCK CHBCNICLE A SENTINEL.
Editors Chronicle & Sentinel:
Nf.w York, April 13th, IS69 —.One of
the latest offshoots of loiiism is anew paper
here to advocate Grant for Emperor. It is
called Ihe Imperialist, is a common-place
looking w.ekiy of sixteen pages, and bears
on its title page a dismal looking crown
flanked on one side by Napoleon lll’s
famous utterance,“The Empire is Peace,"'
and on the other by the Shibboleth of
U ysses I,as is to be,“Lit us have Peace.”
The prospectus of this paper states that
it is “the beginning of anew era.” that
Democracy is a failure, and that ‘‘the na
tional faith, if left in the keeping of the
populace, will bo sullied by the sure repu
diation of the public debt,"" in all of which
utterances you will so unmistakably recog
nize tkejordinary slang of the saints as to
know that this imperialist is really a Radi
cal devise. The idea seems to be that the
people will repudiate unless forced to pay,
and that there, must therefore, be an Em
peror to force them. The thought is ex
ceedingiy popular among the bond-holders,
but this particular exponent aud defender
of it is so essentially weak and
wi.-hy-waehy that it is not likely
it will live very long. It takes every pos
sible occasion to denounce Democracy for
all the evils of the day, ard talks of the
evil nature of Democratic acts, creeds,
principles and tenaencies, as though the
real evil were not due to the presence but
the absence of those creeds and prinei
pies. Instead of needing an imperialism—
that is just what is the matter with us now—
that we have got an Imperialism, and
' very dirty, blackguard, thieving, doomed
Imperialism it is is. But, as stated, this
paper; The Imperialist, attracts but little
notice, and will soon die out. It is a mere
catch-penny; and, having sprung up like a
green gourd, will pass away like a dead
crab. The fellows who edit it do not even
; know the lingo of their new trade, as you
; may see by this extract from their leading
| article: *
“The war was a failure until we made
■ Abraham Lincoln almost absolute autocrat,
| with more power than any other sovereign
|on earth. We made him such, and all the
'people said ‘Amen! it is necessary,’”
; Ac.. 4c.
You will see here that “we” made him,
which means, of course, that this Impe
rialist is some old Lincoln worshipper that
is so scared by the legitimate fruition
of old Abe’s ideas that- he seeks to ward oft
danger by brandishing a pinch-back crown.
The creature has raised something that
looks very much like the Devil, and is now
bawling for a uurse to put it down. And
now for the ignorance of this King-kisser.
He says we made Abraham Lincoln “a/-
most absolute autoerat.” Now, what is au
almost absolute autocrat ? An autocrat is
one who rules absolutely by his own will,
and an almost absolute autoerat is one that
is not quite absolute, and, therefore, no
autoerat at all! Furthermore, it strikes
ns that, according to this creature, we
have already had a sovereign in this coun
try, foi, says he, Lincoln had “more power
than any other sovereign ! ” This, being
the case, imperialism has been tried, but
was not altogether a success, as autocrat
Lincoln waked up a tyrannicide, and was
squelched lorthwith. But, away with
The Imperialist, it is slave talk, and not
pleasant to dwell on.
The demoralization of the superior civil
ization “receives anew development in a
fresh exhibition that has been hit on of
the female form. Heretofore undraped
women have been a prominent feature ol
theatrical attraction, but now there are
she-acrobats that not only undrape but
perform all mauner of athletic feats that
have been up to this time the province of
male gymnasts. The pictures of these
capering misses decorate the shop windows, i
and I can well believe the testimony of
those who have seen them perform that
the training necessary to give them muscle
destroys those soft rounded outlines that
constitute womanly grace. Why, theD, )
their exhibitions should be frequented may j
be a question, but is easily answered if one
remembers what old Dr. Sam Johnson
said of the learned pig, that the wonder
was not that the pig did it so well but that
he did it at aIH
The new Reconstruction bill was tele
graphed South in an incomplete shape, no
iloubt by design, so as to give a false first
impression of it. But six sections were
sent whereas there , are seven and the
seventh like the sting of the scorpion, the
worst of them all. It reads: “Sec. 7.
And be it further enacted, That the pro
ceedings in any of the said States shall not
be deemed final or operative as a complete
restoration thereof until their action respect
ively shall be approved by Congress.”
This means do as we want you to do or
not do at all. I cannot too earnestly ad
vise and reiterate that there be no action
whatsoever under this bill. If they will do
now as the whole South should have done
in the beginning —hands off —the thing
cannot stand alone in the naked deformity
of negro and carpet-bag votes. In a long
experience of this monstrous wrong, both
in the South and at the North and in
Washington, I have never known the
scoundrels who engineer it, to display the
least trepidation, save when there was an
indication that the Southern people were
about to refuse to vote. They want you to
vote. It gets you used to voting side by
side with niggers. It wears off the keen
edge of your resentment and gives a color
of respectability to the dirty business. The
more votes you cast the better they count
'em, and it is the counting aufl aot casting
of votes that carries election* now.
There is quite a stir hereabouts over the
nomination of negroes to foreign missions
—Hayti, Guatawaia and Liberia. The
two former are worth $7,500 each, and the
latter $5,400, stealings in. Some of the
white brethren think they ought to have
these tit-bits, and the matter threatens to
produce discord in the happy • family.
Lord speed the day!
Business is pretty good in the Southern
way, aud the poor “rebel” of last year,
with his pockets full this, is an object or'
the most touching solicitude to the runners
of the great mercantile houses. Those in
Western trade are said to be very blue
about their prospects and are sliding into
the Southern line of business so far as they
can. B'inance is shaky. To walk the
streets you would not think so, but like St.
Petersburg when first built, though there
is a gorgeous fabric above there arc dread
ful and deceitful morasses below. The
great “heart of the nation” is trying to
spend two dollars where it only makes one,
and this floors the stoutest in the end.

Second Baptist Church.
To the Citizens of Augusta :
Bretiieren and Friends : Having
been appointed by the Church to solicit
aid for building a larger h_ use of worship,
would adopt the following plan in giving
our reasons for wanting to build. The
only reason wc have is that our house is
not large enough; it is good enough and
fine enough, but not large enough, having
only twenty-eight pews, which will seat
comfortably six persons to the pew, making
a total of 168 persons, while the member
ship is about 240. So you discover that
we have seat room for a little over two
thirds of the members, and others would
otherwise eoine without scats. In the
next place, our Sabbath School, num
bering somewhere about 300, and still in
creasing, cannot bt accommodated in the
small place wc have. The way we are
doing is this: the children come to Sab
bath School, leaving their parents at
home, and when it closes go home so
as to give their parents room at public
worship. Now for this reason we want to
build, so that parents and children may all
have room enough to attend Sabbath
School and public worship. The reason
wc eall upon our friends to help us is be
cause we arc not able to help ourselves.
We are all poor, and four fifths of the
memberships are females, and many widows
and orphans, wives and children of soldiers
who felhou the field of battle. They have
come here from this and andjoining States
to work in the Factory, that by so doing
they may support themselves and their
children. The few males we have are poor
men, mechanics working in car shops or
other parts of the eky, who are dependent
on their daily labor for support. And,
while wc are not able, to help ourselves we
are unwilling to remain silent and not let
our situation be known, especially when
we know that we have so many men and
women around us who are able, and, we
believe,willing to aid us in building a house
large enough to seat every man, woman
and child who may desire to come. As
sueh we now call upon you to aid us.
Conte, friends aud brethren, remember, he
that giveth to the poor lends to the Lord.
But you ask, what sort of a house do you
want. We answer by saying, that is for
you to say. Our pride would say as fine
a house as there is in the city, but our
purse is too light. We will be' thankful
even for a plain house, so that we can have
room enough for the congregation that
would attend. We are willing to sit on
plain seats, so we all cats be 'seated. Now
we ask what sort of a house you are going
to give us. The plan wc have adopted to
raise the fund, is by subscription, payable
in four installments: first to be paid in
October and the other installments eveiy
three months thereafter until the amount
I is paid. The lists are being circulated and
we do hope that our friends will come to
j our aid unanimously. Several lists will be
handed around by Bretheren appointed. I
also have one and would like to see all of
those Brethren c»l friends who have the
cause of the poor at heart, do as in the
days of Moses, give until they had to be
restrained from giving. Fxodus 36 chap.

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla,
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
The reputation this ex
cellent medicine enjoys,
is derived from it secures,
many of which are truly
marvellous. Inveterate
cases of Scrofulous dis
ease, where the system
seemed saturated with
corruption, have been
purified and cured by it.
Scrofulous affections and
disorders, which were ag
gravated by the scrofu
lous contamination until
they were painfully afflicting, have been radically
cured in such gTeat numbers in almost every* sec
tion of the country , that the public scarcely need to
be informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfelt
tenant of the organisntjundermines the constitution,
and invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal disea.- es,
without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again,
it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and
then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop
into one or other of its hideous forms, cither on the
surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tuber
cles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or
heart, or tumors formed in the liver, or it snows
its presence by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcer
ations on some part of the bodv. Hence the o* <a
