The Work OF the Women,

The Woman Christian Temperance Union OF
| Augusta have accomplished a noble work in the
cause of temperance and good morals. At re-
cent meeting well written and very interesting
| annual report was submitted by the Secretary.
| Mrs. Anna NJ. Hunt. From this report we gather
| a few facts.
| y beautiful banner was presented by the Union
to the Augusta Reform Club; by means of supper
| and entertainments relief has been afforded to
| many persons from pecuniary embarrassments.
Needy families have been visited by the relief
committees, and helped. At the same time, the
| ladies have not felt il their duty to support in
| idleness those capable Of honest labor. Pleasant
| interchanges of courtesies have been had between
| this and sister organza at Hallowell and
Gardiner. Public meetings have been held under
| the auspices OF the Union. which have served to
stimulate the interest in the cause and the State
convention of women laborers was held in the city
during the winter. \ portion of the time of the
| regular meetings of the Union is devoted to
prayer. On Sunday. May ooh, the ladies made
their first visit to the Jail, holding religious exer-
cises, distributing religious reading matter, and
engaging personally in conversation with the
| prisoners. This has been kept up on every Sab
bath since that time, the committee of four ladies'
being changed each month. The results have
been good. The ladies have been received kindly
on each of their visits.
In regard to the finances the Society have two
funds-the first. that obtained by general subscrp-
ton, which is devoted to the payment of the
expenses Of the room for the Reform Club. The
other fund is that secured by the assessment fees
of their own members, by suppers, entertainments
| &C. From this fund is drawn the dues that as an
auxiliary society, the Union pays to the parent Or
ganizaticn, as also help for needy families.
Three members of the Society have died during
the year: Mrs. Parker, Mrs. Yeaton, and Mrs.
Wheeler.

The suspension of Messrs. Hall Brothers, lum-

New YORK. July 10. A despatch from Sample
ton Camp, the ltth, says Gen. Towards column,
the 18th, destroyed Chief Josepbs camp and APP
propr lated provisions and ammunition, ETC., for
troops Joseph evidently anticipated a long cam
paign. The cavalry pursued the Indians, over
taking them at ksmiaha, before all had crossed
the river They rallied for few minutes, but
finally got away going to Lolo Pass.
Chief Joseph has gone over the mountains, and
sends word be wants to speak to General Howard
about peace. 1t appears his advisers averse to
this course, and vehementy opposed the pow
WOW. Joseph insisted, however, and sent kulku
Duitlim as messenger.
White Bird, Looking Glass, Tahoolhoveshute
and Chase wanted to press on into the buffalo
country in Montana, but Joseph had evidently
considered the difficulties and concluded it would
be better to surrender than such great risks.
These chiefs were determined that they fired
on Gen. Howard as he stood talking with Joseph 5
messenger.
General Howard sent the following message to
Joseph

Joseph may take complete surrender to-mor-
rom morning My troops will meet him at the
ferry. He and his people will be treated with
justice, their conduct to be completely investigated
by council composed of niue of my army,

AS the officer to receive Joseph and his army.

faith placed in Joseph.

day to James Sawyer
SAN FRANCISCO, July 10. Advices from Ore
gon say many OF the Sincoe reservation Indians
are on the war path. Two hundred renegade In
dams recently came into Amatilie reservation.
Some of the reservation Indians are suffering, but
the agent will buy beef for them.
A despatch from merchants of Amatle says
the Columbia Indians sent delegation to them
for advice as the Indian agent Connova, had
threatened them with soldiers, if they do not
come to the reservation.
They hate Connova, and will not come to the
reservation, but as they belong to the Smokalla
band they desire to 90 across the Columbia river,
and will behave if let alone by Connova. The
merchants advise letting them alone, till the hos
tile Indians are whipped.
Dispatches from Gen. Towards camp confirm
the statement that Joseph desired TO surrender,
and Howard has given him twenty-four hours to
do so.
Citizens at Wsla Walla are excited and con-
denim Howard for negotiating with Joseph at all.
Colonel Bancroft is reported dead.

A Great Nuisan, e .


Mr.. EDITOR One of the most serious incon
venences, as well as most annoy ing, to people
having business on Water street, arises from the
utter disregard manifested of the proper use of
the street crossings. They arc constantly blocked
up, not only by the teams Of parties from out OF
town, for some OF whom perhaps there may be
the excuse of ignorance or thoughtlessness, but
by the teams of our own towns-people as we'll
and frequently and Doticesbly some of our own
traders for whom there can be no shadow of excuse
whatever. The writer has repeatedly seen ladies
compelled topass around teams, and wade through
the snow or mud TO cross the street. A few days
ago, lady on leaving store where she had made
some purchases, and desiring to cross to a point
almost opposite, was compelled to pass down the
street by four crossings to the fifth from her starting
point, because the intervening four were blocked
up In many instances, say, it occasions serious
inconvenience, and the occurrence has become SC
general as to amount to spositive nuisance. Why
is it permitted without at least an effort to prevent
iti VARus.
