FROM MACON AND AUGUSTA.

The Savannah papers of the sth inst. fur
nish some items of news from Macon and
Augusta, which we append
Macon is quiet, aud the inhabitants appear
to be satisfied with the present orner oil
things. Col. Vail has been appointed COM
mandsnt Of the post, aud Col. Ritchell is
Provost Marshal. Some nights ailer tie ar

out on Mulberry street, above and below

General Upton, OF General Wilson's com.
mand, with a small body OF Union troops,
took possession of Augusta on Wednesday
last. A force Of Union troops were expect
ed TO arrive on that night. General Young,
of the Confederate service, surrendered the
city and all the public property. The Con-
tolerate troops were paroled and were leaV-
ing for their homes.
me Confederate gunboats Macon, Cap
tain Kenard, and the Sampson, Captain
Cumstock, were also surrendered. The of
dcers aud crews Of these steamers were pa
rolled. aud many OF them have arrived IN
thls city. Commodore Hunter aud Lommo-
dore Tatnall are Stlll in Augusta. During
tbe rio: which occurred, it is due TO say
that the crews OF these gunbOats behaved
most orderly, and obeyed every command,

A PERFORMANCE THAT WAS Nor PER
FoRxEp.-For some time tho Theatre going
public have been kept on the alert by the
announcement of wonderful feat to be per.
formed at Metropolitan Hall, and for three
or four days, the newspapers and play bills
bore this startling parsgraph-"Mons. Keefe
in his terrific act, entitled "Eschelle Peri
lieuse, or Leap for Life" Little boys stared
at the unintelligible announcement. ard men,
tally resolved to invest to the extent Of pit
ticket; older people simply shook their
heads. and hoped no human neck would be
broken. The "Eschelle Perilieuse," frame
work Of iron, with circumsmbient rope
enough to hang twenty men, appeared in a
prominent position against the ceiling, and
night after night the au iience looked at it
and wondered when "Mons. Keefe" would
make his terrific ascent. Finally, Thursday

that selfish audience should insist on a
