AuruhIu. .Jj^flSL '1, Already the advantages to bo reaped bj the city from the enlargement of the ennal are becoming inaoiteat. For Borac time past rumors of the formation of a large company, having .? in view the utilization of a portion of the vast water power to be created by the enlargement, have beeil in circulation. Lbs* evening we obtained from an authoritative source the following particulars iu rogard to the mattor. ? About the middlo of March last Mr. J. J. Gregg, a well known citizen of this place, long proicinontly connected with cuttou manufacturing interests, met in Jioaton uu English capitalist, whom ho induced to come out to this eity for the purpose of investigating a projected laud scheme connected with manufacturing 'as a basis. The capital ist, after reaching the city and looking into the mutter, was so well satisfied that he proposed that if a company with a* capital Ol 8100,000 were formed he would take stocx to the amount of 832, 000, calculating to use a portion of the capital in laying out streets and con strutting sewers. No difficulty was experienced in forming the company, several of the nio.it prominout citizens of Augusta making up the required amount ubovo the 832,000. The capitalist re turned to Eugland, and, as an evidence that he meant business, immediately re mitted thirty two th >UI and dollars ti the company in Augusta. The company at once went to work to purchaso land near the city aud contiguous to the eftnt?!, and. now owns a very large tract adj dning or in the vicinity of the c mal. The compauy has pretty nearly comple ted its purchases. The English capitalist reforrod to, as inducement for citizens here to join in a manufacturing enterprise to be establish ed on the Augusta canal, stated that he would bead a subscription list in Eng. land with ?11 000 (855,000) to organ ize a company for the purpose of build ing on said canal a factory of 25,000 spindles, aud use hja ia&uen<*o to get up a company with a capital of 81,000,000 with that view. Mr J. J. Tregg will leave for ISnghtn 1 this in truing to per fect the scheme in conceit with the ?-?u pitalisr.. He is sauguioe of success as he has received groat Quouurgehiont from (.rouiincut English capitalists li the scheme is perfected, as w? trust ani believe it will bo. a great impetus will be given to tho manufacturing interests of Augusta, and a largo addition ma le to her material wealth and prosperity.? Atir/ustti Chronicle and Sentinel Fudkins Makes A Tratlc. Fudgkins thought himself a sharp mau. He was good at a trade, and his conscience whs uot npt tu staud in his way when, bo was working for himself. He happened one day at Whitney's Auction Kootn, and Haw a wlanut side board whiih pleased hi in. He had promised his wife that sho should have one. This would not only answer every purpose, but it wus really an elegant affair, and every way as good us new. He asked Whitney the price of it. '1 think that is sold, Mr. Fudgkius. Or at least, a party has the rclus.il of if"* '?Thou it is uot really s<Jd ?" asked Mr. Fudgkius. '?No,?uot sold"' ?'If not sold,'" broke in Fudg'*...., "why may I not have a chance],'' What do you tusk lor it t" "The party I spoke of has the refusal of it for lifty dollurs.' "I'll give jcu sixty," Haid Fudgkins, who had that vcrj morning priced one exactly like it at Whitcwood A Beach at eighty five dollars. Whitney shook his head He didn't think it would be hardly lair. "Why not ?" demanded Fudgkins. "A trade's a trade. I suppose you have this thing here to sell. Ten dollars is something. When t'other man comes, tell him you had a customer you bad entirely forgotten! Goodness gracious ! he can't want the article very bad, i''he didn't know whether or not to take it at that price. Come?what you say?" The ten dollars extra appeared to be tempting. At all events, Whitney final ly told hiru he might huve it; and the bargain waj concluded and the money paid over. . "I thought.I'd fetch htm !" whispered Fudgkins to a friend at hii elbow. "We're all a little too sharp in behalf of Number Qne to stick at trifles." Meantime Whitney had opened one of the doors of the sideboard and was removing a card which had boeu tacked upon the inside thereof. "Eh ?" cried Fudgkins, as he saw it. ?"What's that?" "It is the card of the lady who bad engaged the sideboard, sir," replied Mr. Whitney. "Mercy on rue !?Sold !?That's my wife!" Called to Preach. The lato Elder John Smith, of Ken tucky, who died recently at anadvanocd age, was ono of the most eccentric wits south of the Ohio river. He was famil iarly known throughout Kontucky as Raccoon Smith. While still ia the Baptist ministry, and attending the annual meetings of that body, a tall lank green specimen of humanity preseuted himself before tl o Association as a candidate for the ministry. Ho was regarded 03 not being of entirely sound mind, and labored under the hallucina tion that he was especially "culled to preaob," aud kep , constantly importunnt ing the Association to give him the necessary license. In addition to his particularly unbalanced mind, young Mecks was the possessor of as huge and ungainly a pair of feet as ever trod in shoe leather. Tired of his importuni ties, and not being disposed to graut the licenso, the Association handed him over to Smith, with instructions to make au end of the ease, and between them took place the following conversa tion : Smith?"So, Brother Meuks, you think you have a special call to prenob ?" Mceks?"Yes, the Lord has called me ta the work, but the Association refused mo the license." Suoth?"How do you kuow you ore called ?" Mecks?"Know it I I feel it in my heart. 1 want my license." ' Smith?"Bo you believe in tho Bible, Brother Meeks ?" Moeks?"Certainly 1 do?every word of it." . Smith?"If I can prove by the Bible that you are uot called to preach, will j jou to satisfied to drop the matter and j 1 not further importune (ho Association lor a license 1 Brother Meeks usscnled to this and | Raccoon Smith deliberately epened the , New Testament at Rniuaus a, 15, and | in s grave tone read,?"How beautiful are the feet of them who preach the gospel of peace," oic. Thou glauciag at Meeks large feet remarked : "You see, Brother Meeks that tho feat of the j preacher are beautiful. You sir have I the most monstrous ugly fect of any map in the State of Kentucky j ther.fire by this Bible, it is clear that you have not been especially culled!'' As Smith finished his remarks the Association went off into a paroxysm of luughter. aud Mceks really coooluded that he h id uot boen "called,*' bolted from the meet ing house uud never after annoyed the Association for a license A Scene From Idle. A young man entered the bar room of n village tavurn, and called for a drink. ? No," said the landlord; ' you have had too much already. You have had delirium tremens once, and I can not sell you any more." He stepped abide to make room for a conple of young men who had just entered, ami the landlord wuitcd upon them very politely. The other had stood by silent and sull.'n. ami when they had finished he walked up to the landlord, and thus addressed him; ?'Six years "go, at their age, 1 stood where those young men now are.

Colored Good Templars. Last Thursday evening, Hod. E. R. Dudley, of New Berne, d divcred an address in the church at Warnersville, on the subject of Temperance. His re. marks were practical, straight forward and replete with common sense. The meeting was not a large none, not more than one hundred and twenty five being present. Mr. Dudley's address, to our notion, was iu a better vein than those the colored people have had the oppor (unity, as a general thing, to listen to. The main idea was that his people should save their earnings and invest the prof its arising from their labor, in land.? He said that in this way, where land is so cheap, niany colored people, in a short time, by industry und economy, could become lauded proprietors. It was evident they could not do this so long as they squandered their means in buy ing intoxicating drinks. We sincerely hope the advice will bo taken and acted upon. There is too much disposition on the part of the colored people to flock to the towns. Many proprietors in the country would be glad to dispose of their lands in small parcels, for cash. A f-w acres well cultivated, will afford a support for an ordinary family. On Wednesday night, Mr. Dudley organized a Lodge of Good Templars. After his address, Thursday night, he held anuiuer meeting, taking in more members, so that the society now num bers about two hundred. He has or gauized societies in New Berne, Kinston, Wilson. Raleigh and Faycttevilhs. The movement among the colored people is fast assuming importance, and the good re- nit - promise to be incalculable.-? New .Vorth Stute (Greensboro, N. G*.) An Extraordinary Courtship. A few nights back a party of ladies and gentlemen were laughing over the I supposed awkwardness attending a dec la ration of love when a gentleman re marked that if be ever had an opportu nity to offer 4iiruxelf he woul .l do it iri a collected aud busiucss liko man ner. ?'For instance, said no addressing himself to a beautiful lady present, "I1 would sny ;' - 1 ''Miss S-, 1 have been engaged I two years iu looking for a .wife. 1 am in the receipt of a clear income of two thousand dollars a year from my present business, which is daily on the increase.' Of all the ladies of my acquaintance I admire you the most. Indeed, to speak plainly, I lovo you and would mo^t glad ly make you my partner for life 7" "You flatter me by your preference,'* goeJ humoredly replied Miss-, to the surprise of all pr?sent* "Not at all :" said h!, "I am entirely sincere." "Then I refer to my father V'said the lady. "Bravo r* exclaimed the gentlo mnn. "Well, I dc-c l a r e !" exclaimed the ladies, in one united chorus. - The lady aud geutletuau were married soon after. "Wasn't that," asks the narrator, "a modest way of coming to tho point, and a lady like method of taking a man at bis word ?" Well, as Charles Lamb would say, "It wasu't anything else." A Touching Incident.?We make the following extract from tho report of the proceedings of tho Irish Americans of Chicago, on docoratiou day : When the grave of a s ddicr was ap proached, the column halted, the name of the occupant was read by Colonel Stewart, and the companies presented arms. Occasionally, where one was needed, a bouquet was deposited. A little mound, which was pointed out as the resting place, of a Confederate oap tain?a prisoner who died at Camp Donglas, was decorated with nothing but fresh, green grass. The spectators j thought it would be past in silence, but when sbreast of it, the command, "Halt!" was heard. The usual satuta tion of respeot having been given, sever al soldiers stepped from the ranks, drew from the muzzles of their muskets the bouquets intended for a comrade's grave, and generously planted them in the sod wbieh covered the remains of the Con federate. The incident touched all who witnessed it, and proved the noble gen erosity oi the Celtic hearts that pr~ ?4 the deed. ?- ?*** ? ? '^'-itt av N 'i?a laeaiav ?"Vo* State Taxes. an IMPORTANT DECISION . Raeet A decision baa been lately rendered by Judge Graham which has an impor . taut bearing upon the question es to who is liable for the payment of tax? upon real proporty that may have been sold. The circumstances of the case as follows: D. B. Gilliland, Esq., refe ree, sold and conveyed, ander order of court, a lot of land to B. D. Lazarus m the 23d of July, 1872. Mr. Asher D. Cohen, solicitor for Mr. Lazarus, the purchaser, claimed that the law making July 1 the day when return* of property for taxation are called for, had changed the day whereon the ownership fixed the liability for taxes as between seller and purchaser, and that the estate of Gads den, for which thereferco had sold being tho owner on the 1st July, 1872, should make return of this property for the taxes of 1872 and should pay them when called for by the treasurer. The attor neys for the executors of Qadsden (Mes srs. Simonton and Barker) contended that the A. A. 1788, whioh is as follows has not been repealed, and is still of force, viz: "And all taxes on real or personal property which shall be sold and conveyed on the said first day of October next, and after the aforesaid first day of October in each and every} htki year thereafter, shall be returned mod paid by the seller thereof, any lav, usage or cuttern to the contrary notwith standing." They also claimed thai neither the ohaoges of the day when the fiscal yesr begins, and ends, ner the change of day when returns of property are called tor,can, by implication, change this positive statutory enactment. Judge Graham ruled that, in the faee of poet tive enactment, tbe construction of bro kers and others based upon analogy and npou the theory of repeal by implication could not prevail and that until the act of 1788 above cited is actually repealed the seller who sells and conveys beffcra the 1st of Octobt r, although ifter July e lnt-M is uot liable for the. tax*s ef he year. *m? * 'Scene In a Nevada Court? f&#sa S The deference usually accorded to judicial dignitaries in the alder section of tho country was net conspicuous in the early days of Nevada, judging (torn a scene which occurred in ' one of the lively little towns in th it region, rela ted, to us by one of the pillars ef the 2j?
