+ OUn CIrY.-A correspondent Of the

city, says:
Augusta has been latterly the great
depot for the blockade running busi-
ness, the coast cities being deemed un-
safe. Here were accumulated vas!
quantities Of exports and imports, cot
ton, tobacco and other staples to go
out, and clothing and other goods
Hhlch had arrived. Nearly all the
stores appear to be well stocked, ard
prices, now 4 safe currency is avail,
able low. Rebel money, of course, is
worthless, the most stupid nigyers
won't take it as gift. State bank
money Of Georgia and South Caro-
lima IS received at a discount. Green
backs at par, and if you offer dollar
one for ten cent article you are
liable to receive ninely = cents back in
silver, whic!> ia plenticr here than |
have seen it for three years and half.
The markets are we'll supplied, except
IN some upprocurlblc articles. At the
Planters Hotel we set plenty Of meats
and vegetables, milk, berries, toerable
lodging and fair attendance, for So
per day; but we must dispense with
butter and condiments, wash without
sap, and put up with poor bread and
worse coffee. The captures here en-
brace vast amounts Of powder and the
rebel mills intact.

h"Flng known these thugs, have out~
grown them. This latter class is the
most to be depended upon, but it is
very small in number. People in our
rank in life are perpetually falling into
one sad mistake, namely, that of sup
posing that human nature and the per-
sons they associate with, are one aud
the same thing Whom do we gene
rally associate with? Gentlemen, per-
sons of fortune, professional r,en,
ladies, persons who can afford to buy,
or can easily procure books Of halt a.
guinea price, hot.pressed, and pri-!!ed
upon superfiue paper. These persons
are, it is true, a part of human nature,
but we err lamentably if we suppose
them to be fair representatives OF the
vast mass of human existence. Aud
yet few ever consider books but with
reference to their power of pleasing 2
these persons and men Of a higher
rank; few descend lower, among cot
tages and fields, and among CHILDREN -

feelings, to give them. new conposi~
tlons Of feeling. to render their feelings
more sure, pure and permanent; in
short, more consonant to nature, th.t
is, to external nature and the great

the humanity Of the lower ciasses--as
manifestation, in most striking
form-personal care-of unsophis:i-
Gated feeling
TO this can only say that the
loathi'ig and disgust which many
people have as the sight Of an idiot, is
feeling which, though having some
foundation in human nature, is not ne,
cessarily attached to it in any virtuous
degree, but is owing in a great nea-
sure to false deIicary, and, if l may
say it without rudeuess. certain want
OF conprehensiveness Of thinking and
feeling. Persons in the lower classes
of society have little or nothing Of
this; If an idiot is born in a poor
mans house, it must be taken care of,
and cannot be boarded out, as it would
be by geutlefolks, or sen. to & public
or private receptacle for suoh uniortu
nate beings. Poor people seeing trc-
fnentIy among their neighbtrs such
objects, easily forget whatever there is
Of natural disgust about them, and
have therefore sanAstate, SO that
without pain OF suffering they perform,
their duties towards them.
"1 have often appl' to idiots, IN
my owY mind, that su..me expression
Of Scri pture that "their lie is hidden
with God.'' They are worshipped.
probably from a feeling of this sort, in
several parts Of the East. Among the
Alps, where they are numerous, they
are considered, l believe, as a blessip.e
to the family to which they belong.
l have, indeed, often looked upon tie
conduct Of fathers and mothers OF the
lower classes of society towards idiots
as the great triumph Of the human
heart. 1t is there that we see the
strength, disinterestedness, and gran
deur of love; nor have l ever been
able to contemplate an object that
calls out so many excellent and virtu-
Gus sentiments without finding it hal
lowed thereby, and having something
in me which bears down before it, like
deluge, every feeble sensation Of dis
gust and aversiou.'"
