The Augusta Gonstitaionahst Of Saturday says:
sour sanctum has been honored by visit from
HENRY TnfRop, Of South Carolina, whose beauti-
fu] poems are household words in the South.
There is no truer poet in all this country than
HENRY T1MRoD, and, if ever man deserved well
OF his State, he who has embalmed her glory in
SURPRISING and enduring melody merits rich re-
ward. Mr.. TnRoD has been silent Of late. We
can guess the cause. But, should he never pro-
duce another song, his memory is safe, and the
evidences of his genius secure

STRENGTHENING EAST BAY.-The proposed
Strengthening Of East Bay, near the Market, has
ut last been commenced, under the supervision OF
Mr. LOUIS ]. BARBoT the City Engineer. The
United States authorities having consented to cede
portion Of the new Custom House lot to the city,
and the storm few nights since having kindly
blown the fence away, there was no longer any ne
cessity for delay, and the preliminary work was
commenced on Saturday. BY the proposed i'm
provement, very ugly bend on East Bay, that
has for years been an eyesore and disgrace, will
be removed, and the street made uniform from the
Battery to the Market When the Custom House
is completed, this corner Of East Bay will become
the great centre Of business and it is the part Of
wisdom to make these necessary alterations as
speedily as possible.
UaMR sAHs STRONG Box.-On last Friday con-
siderable comment was occas;oned in the city by
observing some workmen attaching strong ropes
to the ruins opposite the fre-proof building. 1t
was at once supposed that the old walls were to be
tom down, but additional preparations proved that
these surmises we're all wrong, and tie arrival Of
huge safe put stop to all conjecture. The safe
was from the factory of DENIS, RoaERTs & Co.,
Boston, and was designed for the use Of MIR. j. D.
GEpDNas, the Assistant United States Treasurer;
It was intended to place the safe in the second
story and the only entrance was by the window
toward Meeting street. Mr.. ]. WILLIAMS had the
contract for raising the safe and placing it in posi-
tion, and preparations had been made to that end
by arranging pulleys and tackle. The safe weighed
between 5000 and H. 600 pounds, but notwithstand,
ing this imense weight it was raised without diff
Guilty.
Base BA1L.-The lovers OF the National game
assembled on last Saturday afternoon at the Cita-
del Green, to witness the contest between the
members Of the Palmetto Base Ball Club Not
withstanding the inducements offered by the
music on the Battery, and the several picnics
given on that day, a large number of spectators
were on the Green and Witnessed the game to the
close. The club have only recently recommended
their usual exercise, but the long interim has not
affected their practice, as the result was in NO
respect inferior to the playing of last summer
The weather on Saturday was all that the most
ardent player could desire, and the club was fully
represented on the Green.
The game played on Saturday was simply fc,
practice, and the sides were chosen as nearly equa
as possible. It was called at P. NJ and ended al
7P. NJ. But innings were played, ard the result
showed that the members were not rusty from
their long idleness. Twentyseven runs wert
made by the winning side, and fifteen runs b,
their opponents AS the summer advances
the days viii lengthen, and the players bt
liable to make the game more interesting
It has long been popular recrcatlon II
this country, and has steadily grown in public
favor since its introduction in this city. The Pal
metto Club play every Wedn, ,sday and Saturda.
afternoons. and the grounds are open to all per
Sons interested in tho game.
ENGLISH METALLIC PANT.-It is Of the creates
Importance at the present time, when persons ar
preparing to rebuild their houses, to have them 81
painted that they will not be affected by the hea
fthe weather and will preserve their good look
for long period. AS general thing houses il
this climate require to be repainted every two o
three years or they viii soon present rusty ap
pearance. This is we'll known among builders ant
contractors, and science has been invoked to fur
lish durable paint that would answer the pur
poses intended. This has at length been done
and the English metallic paint is now UNIVERSAL
received as the best article to be obtained TO
either roofngs or houses. 1t is peculiarly adapte
for painting roofs and can be applied to copper
zinc, iron or tin without ever corroding, but wi
preserve the roof from the action of tho weather
