THE RESCUE—FAITH AND PROMISES. Yesterday evening wo wero notified of the fact that a young woman was in the city, In tho deepest distress, owing to the non-appearance of tho man who escorted her to tho city. THE YOUNG WOMAN we found on the corner of Broad and Bt. Clafr streets, crying a* if her heart would break. She was attended by several of her friends, but refused to be comforted, as her liege lord had failed to put In an appearance. We endeavored to gather the facte of her soiitudo, and from her lips learned tho following TALE OF HORROR. It seems that she had a happy home in Henry county, Ala., and that her parents were well off. She says that the man who brought her to Columbus Is named James Dayton, and that ho had been visiting her for ten months previous to her leaving home. Last Monday ho called at her home and proposed a RUNAWAY MATCH. She consented, and in an evil moment left the parental home and embarked upon the uncertain sea of life. They boarded the train at Troy, Ala., and came to this city. Willie here the first day ho noted woll, but on the second day ho got into bad company, and this was the last she saw of him whilo sober. desertion. The lone woman is satisfied that she has been deserted, and that her only hope Is to return to her homo. Luckily for her she has enough monoy to defruy her ex penses here, and back home. The base man who left such a pure and noble wo man, deserves the contempt of the world and should be branded us INFAMOUS, wherever he goes. Last night the young girl had found firm friends in some good people of this city, and to-day she proposes to return to her parents. The mean and contemptible scoundrel who so basely fabled such a confidence as was bestowed by tills wo man, deserves to be hung, or if found alive, TABUED AND FEATHERED and rode out of the town on a rail. Such occurrences will happen, but we hopo not to witness any such scones us we bolield in the face of tlio beautiful girl, who had been led from the paths of rectitude and honor. Fre*h Oyster*. If you want fresh Apalachicola Oysters, every one singlo and selected, be sure and call on Tore Newman. Special Thank.. The Ladies of the Memorial Association request that we will give publicity to their thanks to the community at large and the merchants in general. They ask us to further state that they are under obliga tions to Mr. McCarty, J. H. Hamilton, Col. Lindsay, Vf. E. Barnard, and E. E. Hoch strasser, for special favors. All of the merchants did their duty well, but tlie above arc especially noticed on account of their interest In the cause of the Monu ment and their exertions in bohalf of the cause. Xtuiu. Yesterday it rained during the Morning and tho {streets wore very sloppy. To morrow the rain may continue, and of course Christmas will bo Christmas if wo can only get a rain on Saturday. Wo wish a crowd of Western Immigrants wore in Columbus to-day, that they might soe and fool the salubrity of our climate, and experience the necessity of removing to a milder climate. To-day is the 24th of De cember, and it is warm enough for a linen duster and a palmetto fan. Bnhler sells his Wines and Liquors by the bottlo or gallon only. doc 24 liu An Interview. Wo made an unsuccessful attempt to in terview a renowned gentleman yesterday, on matters of vital interests. He Is gen erally very non-communicative,and in this instance sustained his reputation. (We asked various questions, and put our selves In the attitudo of a reporter, but with him it was no go. His partner is an ambitious disciple,and ovory now and then givo the accustomed wink. In reply to a number of interrogations, he respond ed “and she said she thought ho did." Such unsatisfactory answers disgusted us, and wo left. River \ew*.

Now note the imi tation. It is only a prelude to inevi table destruction to indulge in such things. Enterprise is the watch word. Did anybody notico recently a little white saw-dust. on a gentleman’s front coat ? Will not some philanthropic citizen send an eggnogg to the chain-gang on to-morrow ? They will enjoy it.

Work it up, get the reward and rid tho community of such char acters. The Memorial Concert closes to night. Everybody ought to go and aid tho cause. The ladies have work ed hard. We aro having Christmas weather in abundance, even if turkeys are scarce, and money hard to get. The papers all over the State are chronicling the killing of big hogs. Tho question of who will be “Rex” ot the Atlanta Mardigras is a mooted question. We learn that Capt. C. B. Mims of Columbus has been selected, and it is a good choice. When they speak of the “cotton lobby” at Washington it is not in tended to cast any slurs on padded females. The French woman who pricked seven babies to death with needles will probably have her thread of life cut short. Hall’s Journal of Health says that it is very healthy for young ineu to get out of bed at six in the morning and split wood for an hour. Look for a rush. MKMOUIAI. FMITI VAI-. THIRD NIGHT- -MORE SUCCESS THAN EVER. Last night the Ferry House was filled with the young and old all striving to help build a monument to our heroic dead. The various tables were all represented by the ladies of the night previous. Since our last report of the occasion, an 100-cream stand presided by Mrs. Chap man and Mrs. Beach. THE FISH POND was under the Jlmmediate supervision of the beautiful and facinating Miss Maggie Willis and Gennio Williams. They furn ished bait to all fishermen at ten cents a bait, CLOSING NIGHT.

All contributions are earnestly reqeeet cd to be sent In before 12 o’clock. The milk for lee cream by 9 o'clock. Well, we thought before last night that everybody knew a reporter in search of Items,and consequently were not surprised at receiving several messages to come to a certain table where the night before we had boned turkey, chicken salad, quail on toast, pates of the most delicious varie ties. We were in no special hurry, think ing all these things would be put aside for us—officially—and after awhile, having gotten up a most magnifleout appetite, we sauntered along that way. A large, Hat dish, which had held a pig, was hastily set before us, and wo were invited to “eat that while I toll you something” (altogeth er foreign to a reporter's business). The dish contained seven necks, two clean white pig ribs, some drum sticks, from which they hud made a chicken salad, throe breast bones, not a vestige of turkey on them, and five pinions of goose—some broad crumbs. We demurred, and men tioned, In a modest way, that we were somewhat hurried, as we were working up items. Gracious! what a change—oys ters, hot coffee, croams, salads, cakes, jel lies, ehocolate, viands of the richest varie ty and profusion poured in upon us so rapidly that we could not articulate thank you, ladies, fast enough to acknowledge the different attentions.

Christmas Is near at hand, and every body want* to make somebody a present. Santa Claus with his hoary locks is expec ted to-morrow to bring joy to every heart, and rub out the care-worn wrinkles from every face. We throw out the following hints where to make your Christmas purchases at the least cost, and with the greatest satisfaction: TUOV.il* A l-REMOTT. Nothing sets off good looks better than a nice fitting suit of clothes. You have worn your old ones long enough, so go to Thomas A Prescott and get fitted in one of his new suits. Take your wife by sur prise by going home with anew suit If yon don’t do it, wo advise all wivos to go to Thomas A Prescott’s and order a suit, and take their husbands by surprise by having thorn ready for him to don early Christmas morning. The weather is balmy now, butcold weather is coming on, and you will need an overcoat. Take ad vantage of the reduction in clothing, and get you an overcoat Thomas A Prescott are anxious to sell theirs, and of course you can got a bargain by going there to day or to-morrow. Don't put it off, but put on anew suit of clothes. You will feel better and look happier. HR*. V. 11. LEE. The ladies' first wish is for a handsome bonnet and nothing seems tosatisfy them until they have visited Mrs. Lee's and de termined upon a bonnet, a shawl and some ribbons. Mrs. Lee has made ample provision for the Christinas trade, and is therefore enabled to supply it at living prices—Christmas is the time set apart for making presents, and the community is divided upon a suitable present. Will you call at Mrs. Lee’s to-day and decide foe yourself. The elegant dresses, and the lino hate will attract the young but Mrs. Lee desires the trade of everybody. Her goods are extra fine, and if you want to be suited, all you have to do is to call at her store on Broad street. K. C. HOOD As CO. These gentlemen have arranged for Christmas, and are now ready to deliver perfumes and fancy articles at very much below the usual prices. The nicest pres ents to be found in the city are at Dr. Hood’s. Colognes, pomatums, and other toilettes aro sold cheap. In this drug store you can find any kind of a Christmas present, while the afflicted can buy tho healing remedies of the age. Dr. Hood's “Eureka” is meeting with a very ready sale, and those afflicted with any species of liver oomplaint had best consult tills medicine. Go to Hood's drug store to-day and see what he has for sale. J. L. HOD AV, To-morrow is Christmas day and of course you ought to have a Christmas diunor. If you don’t feel able to have an extensive diuner, you want something ex tra. Turkey is the usual dish, and you can get thorn at Hogan's, but if you want anything extra, Hogan has it ill the shape of shad, the very first of the season. To day ho will have one hundred white shad, and 1,000 pounds of turkey. Go to Hogan's and get fish and fowl. SHARP’S TOY'S. Mr. Sharp has fallen heir to Mr. Profu mo’s stand and reputation, and like him is generally recognized as the “little folks' friend," and his extensive establishment, on Broad street, presents quite a lively scene, for Mr. Sharp has been as busy as a bee for the post two or throe weeks un packing the extensive assortment of toys, fancy goods, fire works, confoctiona ries, etc., which he has laid in to make lit tle folks glad during tho Christmas holi days. Mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, should remember the little ones, and also remember that Sharp can supply your wants suitable for a present. JT. .1. BR A DFORD. Maj. Bradford does not intend that Christmas shall pass and go, without a cordial invitation to everybody to call on him at tho old sthndof H. Middlebrook. To-day you will have some money, and by all means you should invest in something that will serve your purpose. Bradford has elegant harness, saddles and trunks, he is offering at a sacrifice. Go and see. NEWMAN Ai CO. This excellent concern desire to come in for a share of the Christmas patronage, and accordingly have increased their stock of cigars to meet tho demand. In order to accommodate themselves to the condition of the people they have for sale the very best cigar in the city for five cents. They have made a speciality of these ci gars, and are therefore able to pronounce them number one. Those who delight to chew, will find at Newman's the best of tobaccos, while they have fine pipes without end. Go to Newman’s to get your cigars, or your pipes. K. E. TOXSE. This is tho season of the year of all others to buy anew hat. Your old one has served you long enough, and on Christmas day wear anew hat. The place to get it at, is Yonge's, for with a special view to Christmas sales, he has procured the latest styles of gentlemen’s hats and the latest novelties in children’s and boys’ hats and caps. Youge has an excellent assortment of walking canes, from whieh you can make an acceptable present to somo friend. Go then and get anew hat. WITTICH A CIXSELL. This popular jewelry establishment is in full blast, and has on exhibition every species of jewelry, silver ware and parlor ornaments. The latest novelties in dia monds, watches and clocks have been se lected with a special view to the present hard times. What more beautiful pres ent for a young lady, than a locket, ring or set of jewelry. If you would make your married lady friend happy give her one of their elegant clocks, that she may know what hour the head of the family arrives, and thus put an end to his saying “it is about ten o’clock.” AT COW®ERA'S. Going Into Cowdery’s, we found his crockery establishment Hlled, not only with customers, Twit also with Chrismas goods. Time was when china was rare and Liverpool ware was everywhere. But now china Is moderately cheap, and the shelves of the “china-shop” are graced with the most lovely specimens of art in figures and pictures of exquisite coloring. His store, which is one of the largest in the city, was well filled with all manner of crockery, and while there we saw In pros poetivo many a wife's heart gladdened by the purchase of her Christmas tea-set, a porcelain vase for her mantlo, or a set of Bohemian glass ware. His glass and china ware is of the latest designs and coloring. His imported goods are of the finest texture and finish, and his prions are extremely moderate. By pric ing some of his goods, we solvod the pro blem "why such a run had been made on this “ehina-storo.” Nothing we know of is so calculated to make the new year a pear ful one as to commence It with a now outfit of china, glass and crockery; so if you wish to es cape curtain lectures, profit by our sug gestion, and buy a full lino of china ware, etc., at Cowdery’s, where you can got It cheap and guaranteed. His goods are all ef the best quality, and are being sold fast. 80 if you want to make a perfectly happy home, go before all the finest sets are sold and get your wife her Christmas present. J. J. A XV. U. WOOD. To make Christ mas a success you must have your Christmas dinner. J. J. AW. B. Wood, Broad street, havo a fresh ar rival of new raisins, currants, citron, figs, jellies, canned fruits and vegetables, mince meat, pigs’ feet, Shaker and ginger pre serves, cranberries, tine wines and ales, cooking wines and brandies, Havering ex tracts, spices, etc., etc., etc., that every housekeeper avers is essential to prepar ing the proper Christmas dinner. In order that everyone shall have eggnog, they have bought an exceedingly large number of eggs and an y quantity of butter. These two last named articles, as well as every thing else in their store will be sold at liv ing prices, which means very cheap. T. T. EDMUNDS. We visited yesterday, on our Christmas jaunts, the elegant furniture store of T. T. Edmunds, where we found a most elegant assortment of furniture, fancy chairs, lounges, and everything else that can be thought of in the furniture lino. II you want anything In the furniture linecheap, durable, well finished and tasty, be certain to call at Edmunds’ before you make your purchases. Iu these hard times it is true economy to buy a Christ mas gift, it matters not what it costs, that is not perishable, but that will last and be of use for years. To those who do not con sider that house furniture comes under the head of Christmas presents, we would suggest the propriety of commencing the new year with new furniture entire, or at least with such additions to this year’s as the wife may deem necessary. To say that Edmunds sold goods economically would be almost as superfluous as to ask a starving man if he was hungry. Go there and get your little boy a velocipede, and your little girl a nice chair. L. HV III.I:H'M is the place to visit if you want to make any of your gentlemen friends a present.

Messrs. Bradfield <£ 0)4- Gentlemen—You wilt please ship us an other supply of your invaluable Female Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We are happy to state that this remedy gives better satisfaction than any article we sell. We have been selling it since 1868, and witnessed many remarkable cures by it. Among others, there was a lady friend of ours who was sallow and sickly until she was twenty-six years old, when she was married. Her husband lived two years and died. She continued in bad health; in fact, she has never been what a woman ought to be. A few months after the death of her husband she saw your advertisement, and came to our store and bought a bottle of your Regula tor from us, and took it according to di rections. it has oui-ed her sound and well, brought her regular monthly peri ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom ing widow—with the use of but two bot tles of your Regulator, costing her only three dollars, when she had tried several physicians and spent a great deal of money without any benefit.
