WHAT THE NORTH DOES FOR THE Sourn-
The Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle makes the
following amusing summary Of the means which
the North furnishes to the South: They build
our houses, they adorn them with every comfort
and convenience of which we have ever coniec
tured. They educate our children, and cover
our nakedness from head to foot, with hats and
shoes, coats and shirts; we eat their -four,
cheese, butter, apples, Goldfish, potatoes, pickles.
= pork and onions-we feed our cattle with their
d hay. drive their horses in their harnesses and
. carriages with their whips-we walk with their
e sticks ride on their saddles, write on their pa
f per, wash with their soap, scrub with their
Q brushes. sweep with their brooms, milk in their
! pacs, cook in their pots. strike with their ham
u mers, blow with their bellows, cut with their
axes, with their seed, reap with their hooks,
: pull with their leather, whiiewash with their
n Lime, paint with their pant,march by their tunes,
!, read by their lights, drink their congress water
and rum, smoke their clgars,--and last and best
II of all these blessings, we marry their pretty
q girls, who make the best of wives.
h DARING ATTEMPT AT RoHERY.-The safe in
4 the counting-ro room of the Locks g. Canals Com
y. pany was partly broken open this morning be-
. tween three and four o'clock, by means of gun
powder. The outside door of the safe being
single one was blown open with a small charge
: in the lock. The inner door was made Of two
sheets of iron rived together, leaving about half
an inch space, and the lock on this door was
r loaded very heavy. The outer sheet was thrown
i open, but the inner one, with the lock on, was
- left unopened.
The robber or robbers probably fearing that
a another report would raise an alarm, left the
i premises. The last report was very loud and
e was heard some distance, but it being near
5. daylight, nothing thought of it. The
,, counting room was entered through the front
is window, by plank being placed on the bridge
4 railingt. The looking glasses windows, and
. the furniture in the room. were very much shat
II tered. We do not understand that there was
l. much money in the safe. This is one of the
rs most daring attempts at robbery that has been
A made in this city.-Lo'ceH Courier.
l. LAMENTABLE OccURRENcE.-Mr. George
