Miss NJ. A. Buic, the Soldiers
Frienu,''

Hundreds of our ElgefieI soldiers in the late
cause of Southern Rights and Southern Indepen-
dcnce, will be pleased to learn that this patriotic
lady, who has won world wide fame for her en-
ergetic and praisewor,hy assistance 10 the gallant
sons of the South in the late war, is again in
Elgefe!d-and is still hopeful Of brighter day
dawning on our now desolate and ruined Country
Miss DrIr lost all with the cause She loved so
well, save her homestead in North Carolina, which
she proposes to Ranl, us soon as sufficient
amount is subscribed. In her BEHALF wo appeal
to our people TO subscribe to this Rattle, and
thereby render assistance to Il worthy LADY, and
one who has 4 right, from services rendered, to
expect saccor and relief, in this her hour Of dis
tress and want, from al. true Southcrners.
The Editor of the Augusta Chronicle d. Sentinel,
noticing this Rattle, says:
Miss Buic, who will he remembered by our
Augusta readers as the soldiers friend during the
late war, Is again il our city. She was robbed Of
some valuable property by the Federal soldiers in
North Carolina, and has been compelled to put
IN her house and lot at High Point, n. C, for
rattle. She has fixed 10 value upon this property,
but will leave the amount to be raised to the gen.
erosity of the people Of the South, whom she
served so faithfully in the late struggle for South
crn Independence. The price Of n chance. how
ever, she has fixed at the low price Of one dollar,
50 that all can take chance. Lists for this pur-
pose can be found at the Globe Hotel, at Dr. Hat.
tons Drug store, and Mr.. C. W. lIersey's store;
and large number Of chances should be taken
as soon as possible"
Parties wishing tn take q chance at this House
and Lot, can have their names enrolled on the
list by leaving 81 in cash, Mt the Adrertiser Office
and which Miss BuIE will acknowledge through

TIE KAIMIA MILLs-This admirably To-.
Gated property, between Aiken and Augusta,
on ore Of the finest streams, and situat n
among the best in the South, has lately, our
readers have been informed, been sold to
clear up its embarrassmcn;s, tue former pro-
prietors not having sufficient means to carry
the work to completion. We believe that
the property, up to this time, in its present
incomplete condition, has cost over three
hundred thousand dollars, and it has been
disposed Of for one hundred aid sixty thou
sand. The present owner left the city few
days since, in company with party Of gen.
t!eren, to examine the present condition Of
the works, and it is understood that lie has
been rendered large amounts CT capital to
place the establishment in thorough working
condition. The site is so convenient to the
great cotton markets, has such admirable
means Of communicating with the outsid.
world by the South Carolina Railroad, that
there can hardly be doubt that, once fairy
started under efficient management, it has
every advantage to enable the mil 10 become
exceedingly profitable. The entire region
from Aikcr 10 Augusta, with the numerous
manufacturing enterprises buit or projected,
promises 10 become one Of the greatest centres
OF industry in the South Charleston News.

Rurke,s Weekly.

We doubt if any publication in the South has
ever attained such popularity in so short time,
as has this fayorite juyenile paper, and we do L.
wonder at it. Burke's Weekly is just what il
purports to be, paper "for Boys and Girls" and
the boys and girls of the South are beginning to
regard it as hei- paper. 1t is edited with great
care, is beautifully printed and elegantly illustra-
ted; indeed, j, is, IN erery respect, tho equal Of
any periodical for children now published any
