Another War Brewing.

The Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel
seems apprehonsivo Of war betweoh
that city and the town Of Hamburg,
az will appear by tho folio sing article
taken from that paper. The Chropi-
oic says:
Now that the Franco. .Prussian war
has ended to the satisfaction Of
one of tho'partics, if'not . the other
and the interest which Our citizens
I took in the combat has subsidod there
comes rumor of uuother war which
will touch US more nearly-one in
which the people of this city will take
part. On yesterday rumors we're
rife that hustilties between Augusta
and Hamburg will soon be procla im-
cd unless the government of tho lat
ter place shall abandon tho belliger-
ent attitude which it has ussumod.-
Before tho war the most cordial feel
ing existed botweon tho two govern
ments, but since the Authorization
of Hamburg, this good feeling has
disappeared, and each city has main.
tanned II threatening attitude. At
al election held in Hamburg few
days ago, the sable veteran Prince
Nlvers-the ebony Murat of tho
Carolina foroes-and other notorious
war men, were elected to ofioc by an
overwhelming majority. This itsolf
wasa u bad sign; but, as with the
avowed purpose of bringing matters
to n crisis, our own City Council, Just
about that time, had the temerity to-
pass an ordinance requiring foot pas:
sengors across the oity bridge to pay
toll. This at once prcoipitated mat.
tcrs. A large proposition of tho foot
passengers across tho bridge are i'm.
p,cunious colored vagabonds from
Hamburg, and, rs may be imagined,
it made the hot blood of chivulrous
Africans boil with indignation to
think that when they wished to reach
the gin-mills of Augusta they would
either have to swim tho raging Savan.
nah, or elso pay to robel city gov
crnmcnt the nicklc won by honest in
dustry at draw-poker or the string
gaue. They at once determined upon
rsprisals, and on yesterday Prince
Rivers issued dreadful edict, and
posted it on the Hamburg side of tho
bridge, to tho effect that any Augusta
COW which wandered into his domin-
ions would be arrested and not roleas-
cd until'a tribute of five dollars was
rendered. 1t is also said that they
threaten to levy toll on their sido Of
tho bridge, and mulct every Ku Klux
that passes. A fairs seem rapidly an
proaching crisis, aud wo had better
begin to prepare for war. p. G..
can furnish navy. and tho other
wards an army, which, we think, will
be more than sufficient to crush tho
naughty Rivers in tho event that he
proclaims hostilities. If war does
come, we never will stop until the.
Hamburg government is overthrown,
aud our victorious forces have entered
the cncmy's capital in triumph, and
then wo will annex tho little burg
and keep it straight.

majority for the Democratic candidate g

The Proposed French Tax on Raw Cotton
We have the report from Paris
lhst the French government intends

terial of textile fabric, aud that it
il expected that the tax on cotton
sloue will yield yearly revenue Of
sixty to eighty, millions Of francs

be taxed proportionatcly. No doubt
poor France, under the heavy iiuau-
cial burdens of this war, will be COM
PEELED to tax to the utmost every
thing that will yield any revenue {;
but the proposedtax upon raw cotton
will be great mistake. 1t will GER
tainly operate not only to the advan

The Wyndham Company.

The highly fattering season OF comedy Is
drawing to a close with Crooks Ahead"
Mr.. Wyndham has won an enviable re-
putation for the excellent selection of both
artists and pieces.
Miss S. COwles is very charming SOU
brette and admirably satisfies the demands
of Mrs !Seebright lady of unlimited atten-
tions. Miss Annie Campion is an exceed
ingIy graceful and fascinating young lady
and favorite here, who, as Miss Colcpepper,
would certainly surprise the author with
her really artistic creation of a role that in
itself is not very strong. Miss Nellie John
son, as the buxom, bewitching widow, is
well fitted for the part.
OF course Mr.. Wyndhams Derter is a
piquant bit of acting, and with such per-
formers as Belvil Ryan and every member
in the cast, there could be no such word as
fail.
We regret that the cast did not include
Miss Goodall; but with such bevy of beau
ties as are clustered beneath the banner of
Wyndham, we are content with what we
receive.
Tonight is the last appearance of this ia
Tented company, and. all those who have
not seen "Rocks Ahead" must not fail to
enjoy one of the most charming comedies of
the season.

Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church.

The refined and elegant congregation
which worships at Trinity church, corner of
Coliseum and Jackson streets, whereof Rev.
J. n. Galleher is rector has the privilege
every Sunday of listening to the most de-
| lightful and scientific music. Not that it is
operate in its nature; albeit, many persons
| imagine that if sacred music be at all EN-
| bellished it borders, at least on the profane.
| There is wide difference, however, between
that peculiarly horid style OF melody which
is naturally associated with the lyric stage,
and the harmonies that give full expression
| to the sentiments-be they joyous, invoca
tive or mournful-that animate the religious
worshiper.
Hence most of the maeStyOS whose chef
d'Gurrcs are now generally sung, especially
in the Catholic and Episcopal churches,
have given to the world splendid produc-
tons, with which religious ideas are beauti-
fully blended with the highest style of art.
OF this character is the music at Trinity
church. Professor L. A. Seward presides
at the organ, and under his hand that in
strument gives forth its sweetest melodies.
position of Professor Seward, who is assisted
in its rendering by a choir of more than
ordinary capabilities. The principal por-
tons of the musical exercises last Sunday
were a Neniue in Z, Gloria Patri, TIE
Deum in C. and a Jubilate, all of which
were sung with remarkably fine effect. The
responses to the commandments are gems
in their way, and in the rendering of them,
the harmonios and grace notes thrown in
by the organist produce most pleasing
effect.
Taken altogether the musical exercises of
this church are probably unsurpassed by
those of any Episcopal church in the city;
and for this reason it is that lovers of
sacred harmony are every Sunday found in
such numbers within its walls.
The leading voices in the choir were:
Mrs. Pierson, soprano; Mr.. Arnold, bari
tone: Mrs. Pearce, contralto; Mr.. Van Ben

Southern Portable Gas Company.

There was another exhibition, last night,
of the new gas now in process of manuf&c-
ture by the Southern Portable Gas Com
pany, at the office of the New Orleans Ma
tional Bank. on Camp street. The exhibi-
ton resulted in the conviction of every one
present that a mode of lighting by portable
gas has been discovered and brought into
practical use that will exceed, in many re-
spects, any system of lighting heretofore in
use. It is claimed for this article that it
can not explode under any circumstances,
and that its cost is not more than half that
of the ordinary gas. One great advantage
it certainly has: house far in the country,
apart from others, can be as brilliantly
lighted as any establishment in a large city
where gas companies are established. Mr..
A. Wheeless is the president of the gas com
pany, now in successful operation.
