Th ~lautea'J ee of Augusta. - We take pleasure in recommending such Hotels to the public. The follow ing tem from the Charleston Courier -speaks our opinion precisely The Planters' lotel of Augusta has, uder the auspLes of that Prince of hosts, ol. 1. S. Nickerson, become one of the most popular and well kept establish ments in the whole South. Nor are we surprised at this, as the experience of Col. Nickerson in the management of the S-Mils House of this city for a number of years, and lately of his own hotel in Columbia, has been of a character to familiarize him perfectly with the expecta tions and wants of the traveling public. The "Planters'" has always been a karite resort, but .since it has fallen under the management of its present proprietor the conveniences and comfort which it provides for its guests are second to none offered by any Hotel south of New York. It has been thoroughly renovated and repaired; its furniture and appointments -r entirely new and of the best descrip tion, its tables groan with the choicest viands which the markets of Augusta -afford, and its servants arc ever polite, " J accomm odating and attentive. Amongst the assistants of Col. Nickerson in the executive part of the establishment are Dr. L. C. Duncan, who is personally known to most of our citizens by his business connection, in past years, and Messrs. L. S. Morris and J. A. Goldstein, -Y who are natives of Augusta and no less .conversant with their business than energetic and courteous in its discharge. In a word the Hotel is all that it should be, in e;::ry particular, and we take great y uesre in- recommending it to those of or readers who may visit Augusta and "wish to be handsomely entertained. hoatig Aray-ames T. ribe Eilld. . Asad tragedy was enacted in Fernan d ina on Monday week, the particulars of w tkh are substantially as follo; : James T.

At that time Mr. Clark was on a pleasure trip for his health, which had been somewhat-impaired by his long and arduous devotion to the duties which devolve upon a public journalist. A more courteous gentleman we have never met, and in his death the profession has indeed 1 st one of its shining lighte'. He leaves a ;ife and three sons to lament his unexpected decease.

It is a splendid coach, worthy of the splendid fellow who has charge of it.-Augusta Press NEWBERRY, S. C. Wednesday Morning, April 17, 1867. Pay for it Before youake it. "Put mcney in thy purse" honestly if you can, if not put it there any how. Doubtful advice certainly. It was given by some old curmudgeon to his son ; it related to money however .and not to newspapers, but it seems as if some people apply it to both money and news papers. Scarcely a week but we are called upon by one or more subscribers with the request that we change their papers to some other office, in the hope that by so doing they may receive it more regulaily, although perhaps in most instances the distance to the office to where the request is made to send it is greater than the other. Let us give the reason for this. The parties complaining' tell us that their papers are taken out by others, with the promise to the P. Master to deliver them to the rightful owners, but in the majority of cases the papers are kept, read and handed from one to another, until when it reaches its proper owner it is several days, a week, or two weeks old, and in some instances does not reach them at all. Now is this right, just or honest? Assure3ly not ; it is hard to say jtst what it is, but it looks very much like taking that which belongs to another. Our subscribers pay for and expect to receive their paper in due time, it belongs to them, and ho one has a right !^ i but them, If the paper is worth reading it is worth paying for, and the man who reads without regularly subscribing and paying for it, commits a fraud both to the subscriber who has paid us and to ourselves. We trust that the practice will be discontinued. While reading thi,, let us exhort you, friend, for ten chances to one you are a sponger or may be pilferer of the very paper you are reading, to determine at once and honestly subscribe, it will help you in the end, your conscience can be very cheaply set at ease, $3 will make a man of you for one whole year ! Think of it. The G. & C. E. E Complaints are made to us concerning ibe G. & 0. R. R. That piles of goods including perishable kinds-are in the depots,for weeks together,which ought to be delivered promptly. The detention of them cause immense losses to the mer chants. We do not like to in terfere with individual or corporation business, but, as a railroad is a great public servant, it is meet and right to give expression to the grievances of the people. The mer chant is kept out of his goods,-money he loses custom, and in the end pays freight for perishing and ansaleable comn modities. If there is a remedy it should be applied. Cannot arrangements be made with the S. C. R. R., by which goods for all prominent points on this road may be loaded in Charlestoni, and the ears transferred to the Greenville road with out the delay, trouble and expense of re shipment at Colombia? Cannot th~e mat ter 'be made mutually profitable ? Cannot the mail train,-no connections are made-attach -several freight cars. A ltte extra energy in unloading and re turning the ears promptly would work wonders. We learn that eat s are not re turned when they mights be. The- road needs money, no doubt, and freight is cash. Therefore push the matter. - Fbreign Taigaton We commend to the attention of our readers the communication in aiiother clumn by "Pomaria." *It a subject of great moment at this juncture and the community should take an interest in it at once. If labor of this character will be needed.and our citizens propose securing it. no time must be lost, as the time be tween now and the fall will be no more -than sufficient to complete the~ various arrangements necessary to carry out the plan. Mr. Ferloo, from Copenhngen, the agent appointed by Gov. Orr, we are informed by Pomuaria, will visit Newberry in about 10 or 15 days.

It is known that our Legislature, at its late session, took steps for the encour igement of immigration from Europe, ind made an appropriation for the pur pose of meeting the expense incident tc this encouragement.

In walking to and fro on the earth and up and down in it, round and abou the "Centre of Gravity," I discovered: newly-made grave, and on the monumen the following simple inscription : "Toe THE ME3toRY OF POOR CREDIT." "Died January 1st, 1867 !" We desire you to publish this that th numerous friends and admirers of 'POOl GRE[DIT," may knovr that he has gon the way of all the earth.- For they art asking for him in all the stores; and ii all places of trade everywhere.

Haurd, late of Newberry an' now of Stratford, Conn., will accept thank for a batch of late papers, in which are ver; many interesting items. Barnum, the showi man-for Congress-was beaten by anothe man of the same name. These journals arl in estacy over the Democratic gains.

Good Friday comes on the 19th inst, and Easter Sunday the 2 1st. A public meeting was recently callet at Laurens, 0. H., to consider the matte of "orn for the destitute." LOCAL ITEMS. THE WEATHER still continues as fickle as the most notorious coquette. It blows hot and cold without any other reason than because it has the power, and with out a particle of regard for individual f feelings or gardening interests. The day that dawns with a clear sky, bright sun rise and soft air, closes with rain and cold winds, followed by frost, and vice versa. Easter will break it up; so say the know Ing ones. TEMPERANCE MEETIG.-The meeting on Friday night was again largely and, we might very appropriately say, beauti fully attended, the ladies we believe being in the majority. as they always are in every good and charitable cause. We are pleased to see so much interest mani fested in a work of such great importance both socially and morally. Several point f cd and well delivered addresses were made, in the following order of speakers: Messrs. Hough, Leavell, Col. Moorman and Rev. Mr. Zimmerman, and all of them exhibited a feature worthy of ex-. ample-charming brevity. Many new names were added to the already lengthy list of signers, and the society so happily inaugurated, and so energetical. pushed forward, bids fair-t' a long reign of use fulness and good. The only bar to the enjoymeut of ine meeting was the dis graceful behaviour of the boys ; it would be difficult to iniagine where they got their bad manners from. We will attend to them in another paragraph. On next Friday evening the meeting will be ad dressed by the Rev. Mr. Mickel and others. A full attendance is requested. A PECULIAR INSTITUTIoN.--Peculiar to all localities is the boy institution, but in some it predominates largely over others. In this devoted-town the number is legion, and of all stripes and character, and we sorrow to say that the bad ma.n nered boy stands prominently in the ascendant. So long however as their peculiar characteristies are seen and heard only in the street, no public com plaint is made, but we cannot pass over in silence the shameful and annoying conduct exhibited on every pub5e~ occa sion, meetings, lectures, or entertain ments of any kind, where our citizens go to enjoy themselves and be profited. As rit ii, the latter is an impossibility ; Senjoyment is lost in the annoyance, vesation and disgust which every one experiences when these unmannered boys commence to show the peculiar style of their "bringing up." Is there ao: way to put a stop to this nuisance ? We sug 'gest, that if these boys are all orphans, ~ which their conduct surely indicates, for no. parent who has a regard for outward forms and decency would over-look-or permit so gross a violation,-that a house of correction hec . established for their Ibenefit andi reforrnation. If on the other hand they have parents -or guardians -but wve cannot believe it, such an idLai absurd-these boys must .be excluded from-entering public meetings or- eiiter Stainments ; should they enter, i.et them, on the fiist outbreak, be forcibly ejected. Many of these offenders too are what'xnay be called boy-men ; men in age and size, but boys in behaviour. To them we say shame on you ; you ought to know better. We do not reflect upon all the boys of our town, for there are many who under stand, and have been taught what is re quired of them, both in public and private. ______ YE LovrERS read the following and' imitate, it will suit all times, seasons and places under emergent necessities, jbut~ better in soft fine weather, when advan tage can be taken of a stroll in open- air, free from the scrutiny of "parients" eyes,~ little brothers and - sisters, which are serious inconveniences to the develop-I ment of the. tender passion i-1 its first Iblush.. We have wvaited its publication for a favorable change in the weather, but have waited in vain. - Here it is. ~"They were sitting side by side, And she sighed, and then he sighed; Said he, "My darling idol," BAnd he idled, and then she idled; - "Tou are creation's belle," And she bellowed, and theti he bellowed; "On my soul there'8 such a weight," And he waited, and then she waited; - "Your hand I ask so bold I've gro~wn, And she groaned, and then he groanedV "You shall have a private gig,f' A nd she giggled, and then he giggled; Said she, "My denrest Luke," sJ Add he.looked, and then she looked; 1 Shan't' we," and they shantied; "I'll have thee if thou wilt," -And he wilted, and then she wilted." tWe trust niye lovyers" -after having - gone through the regular course, as laid down above will not be guided in tihe con sum~mation of the next step by the example of the parties below, who were t very much married, "At Stratford, C.

Robert Hamilton, of Fullerton :the Rev. Robert Ren wick, of lmns ; the I&.. John Edtheringham, of Hibbert, and tie Rev. Mr. James, of Galt, Archibald MTaggart, Esq., to Catherine McKay, both of Dundas." No reasonable objection however can be- made ti the following spirited style :of getting into the difficulty. We recomn mend this course to "ye lovyers" under certain circumstances, for of just such material are heroes made: IA Kentucky paper states that Perry Jewell and hannah Shrout, -Bourbon county, were anxious to get married last; week. But the classic Hinckston creek rose to flood height, and the minister who was to perform the ceremony, Rev. R. L. THE FRENCH STORE.-We take pleasure n calling attention to the establishment af our very popular friend Dr. T. Gouin. [n the Drug line the Doctor is au fait at his business, devoting all his energies and talent in making it first class, and he will succeed, if perfect adaptability and a determination to please will ensure success. In the other department we are sure that he has already happily succeeded. His stock of Fancy Cindies, Drops, &c., is of the largest and best description. No man can more highly appreciate the generous patronage of which lie is the recipient, and we know that no effort either of time, labor or patience will be spared by him to merit a continuation of it. STOLL, WEBB & Go.,-Charleston. The reader will recollect the favorable mention made of the "Charleston House," some time since, and their attention is again directed to it. The business done by this house is immense, perhaps as large if not larger than any similar es tablishment in the city, and the visitor to it will be agreeably surprised at its ex tent in all its business arrangements, as well as the completeness of the beautiful and large stock of Foreign and Domestic, Fancy and Staple Dry Goods, there dis played. We advise a call at 287 King Street, to all who visit the city, whether on business or pleasure, feeling satisfied the visitor in either case will be compen sated. To TiE LADIES.-The Ladies are re minded that Mrs. M. A. Stoddard is in receipt of a handsome stock of Spring Millinery, and is prepared also for dress making. Mrs. S. who is a widow,- de sei ves the kind and generous pratonage. of Ladies general!y,-having suffered an entire loss of her effects by the memorable fire of last year. And ther there are so few pursuits left open to the sex by which to make a support that-when they do seek to develop an industry, they should by all means receive con siderate attention. WHEN SnocLD initANTS A DVETIZE? -At all times and under all circum stances,.but if there be any one time bet ter than another, tha~t time is the dullI season, when liusiness flags. A judicious system of advertising will a certainly draw custom as a liberal sprinkling of sugar will draw flies.

( HARLESTOT, April 15.-General Sick les' order, published this morning, stay ing execution in civil suits: for twelve months, gives general satisfaction. The South Carolinian -newspaper, pub lished at Columbia, has been purc'ased by Nash and other colored men, and will be conducted as a conservative_ negro organ. A portion of Coabila is again in rebellion, under the leadership of Gen. Herrera, who proposes to erect the La guina district into a separate State. Trouble is apprehended from this, as the opponents mig'ht easily move on Saltillo and liberate Gen. Ortega. Mexican letters from headquarters of the Liberals, front of Queretaro, March 27, and San Luiis 28th, contain details of a recent engagement at Citoga.. The complete route of the Imperialists is again confirmed. Several roads for es cape are still open to Maximilian, and the people of Queretaro aid him liberally The besieging army is also suffering for food, and the contest turns on the ques tion which army will be starved out first. Escobedo is considered incompetent for his position. THE SECOND DIsTRIcr.-General Sickles has produced a favorable impression all over his command. Ile -holds forth in Charleston, though his first order is from Colombia. It is reasonable to hope that, under the administration of such gentle manly officers, our people will readily acquiesce in the situation, and make the best of It ; if so our better days may not' be so very far. off. If we had less poli ties we should get on infinitely better. [Yorkville Enquirer. The 26th inst., will be observed by Odd Fellows throughout the United States as a day' of thanksgiving and prayer.
