SENATOR HAMMoND.-The Lancaster Ledger,
in an article commenting on the position Of this
distinguish. gentleman, says:
"Senator Hammond had been for number
Of years in retirement, but his name was 'asso-
ciated with the high and determined position
which lie at one time took upon the slavery
question, when our institutions were threatened
with Immediate, danger and abolitionisIn was at
its zenith. The ultra party in this State erro-
ncously argued from this, that he was the man
to carry out their principles and hasten q disso-
luton of the Union; but the aspect Of affairs
have changed within the last ten years and Sem
ator Hammond now sees no cause for buster
and strife and Indignation speeches. He has
not, however, lowered the tone and the senti-
ment which gave him the character Of a staunch
Southern Rights man, and when the, danger
which some apprehend and anticipate really ap-
proaches, we venture lie will bc found among

Ouu SroREs.-Augusta can not only boast of
her large and well fitted stores, some OF them
100 to 100 feet in depth but We douat if there
is another city where goods are more tasteIu'ly
and at,ractivcly displayed. Nearly all OF our
Dry Goods, Fancy anl Jewelry stores have Ind
their windows enlarged and the display OF goods
in them is very attractive. Other branches OF
business seem to be catching the infection. In
passing down Broad.strcet, yestcslay our atten-
ton was attracted to the window of Mr.. A. Hatchs
Saddlery Warehouse, in which lie has good
sized white pony, ltelike, and fully eaparisoned,
standing in restless position and apparently
chaGng his bit. 1t is we'll got up and but few
pass by without stopping to take look. Such
displays look like prosperity in business.--Au'

FapR1cArroN OF D1AMoNDs.-One of the most
curious sights in Paris is said to be afforded by
a visit to the vast workshops Of NJ Bourguig-
non, where the whole process of transforming
few grains of dirty, heavy looking sand into q
diamond of the purest water, is daily going on,
with the avowed purpose of deceiving every
body but the buyer. The coloring matter for
Initiating cmcralds, rubies and sapphires is en-
tirely mineral, and has been brought to ligh
perfection by NJ. Bourguignon. Many opera
tors are employed, whose business it is to polish
the colored stones and line the false pearls with
fish scales and wax; the scales of the roach and
dace are chiefly employed for this purpose
They must be stripped from the fish while living,
or tho glistening hue, SO much admired in the
real perl, connot be initiated.

same goods.

and consequently were bought much lower.
If this is doubted, the evidence is on the stand
at the counter.
