SOLDIERS GET THEIR PAY.
The First Regiments Expenses for the
Augusta EEcampment.

The First Regiments Expenses for the
Augusta EEcampment.
The First regiments trip to Augusta and
its week in camp cost in the neighborhood
Of $500 or 1900 more than it will get
from the state under the legislative appro-
priation. Col Mercer turned over yester-
day 10 acting paymaster, Lieut. NJ A.
O'byrne, AdJutant General Kells' check for
1859 and some cents to reimburse the five
companies Of the regiment for their ex-
pe1ses during the state encampment. This
amount is about $500 less than the regi-
ment was entitled to, its pro rata
being in the neighborhood of
$500. The amount appropriated by the
legislature fell short, and instead of so cents
a day the men will get about 46 cents.
Lieut.. O'Byrne has turned over to the
commanding officers Of the various compa-
MES and to the staff officers their snare of
the appropriation. Most of the companies,
il not al of them, paid their expenses of the
encampment out of the company treasury,
and the amount they received from the
state will be turned into the company
funds, 80 that individual members will not
lose directly by the failure of the appropri-
alton to go around.

An article in the Times of the 9th states
that some of our citizens send away for
spring water for drinking purposes. Why
should they do this when by the use of one
of Pasteur's Germ Proof Filters the river or
artesian water can be made absolutely pure
and wholesomel
This is a new invention by the celebrated
French physician after whom it is called,
The water is forced through a number of
porcelain tubes, which are so arranged as to
be protected from the least da ger Of con-
tamination, as it passes directly from the
hydrant. Physicians and others interested
are invited to inspect its workings at the
crockery house of James s. Silva, where all
information will be cheerfully furnished.

The First District Senatorial Conven-
ton Postponed Until Sept. 8.
A meeting of the First senatorial district
executive committee was held yesterday to
consider the postponement Of the senatorial
convention TO have been held at Guyton to-
morrow until later date. in order to allow
Bryan county to agree upon a candidate for
the senatorsnip. The convection was post
poned until Monday, Sept. S.
The action of the mmlttee was based
upon the action of the Chatham and Elfing-
ham county mass meetings in selecting dele
cations instructed to vote for a Bryan
county candidate, and upon the failure Of
the Bryan county delegation up to the
present time to agree upon candidate TO
present 10 the convention.
The situa ion IN Bryan is still unsettled,
and the delegation is seemingly no nea er
an agree uent than IL was week ago. Ii Is
likely that IN SO the matter is not settled
within the next week or ten days that "A
county primary will be called to put a can

Burned.

j. n. Newton's store and Stock
Burned.
J. II. Newton's storehouse, with his en-
tire stock of g DDS, including his books and
papers, was burned at NARROW Sunday
morning But few knew of the fire until
1t was over. Mr.. Newton moved from

ance of 81. 200 on his stock, but the name Of

Mr.. Newton was the Southern Express
Company's agent, but it is understood the
loss Of the express company, if any, is
trifing. The origin Of the fire is unknown,
but it is believed that some one burglarized
the store and then set fire to it to conceal
the robbery.
A negro frolic with attendants from all

The Old Newspaper Files to be Pro
tected From Injury.
The Georgia Historical Society held its
July meeting last night. The meeting was
a small one and very little business of i'm
portance was transacted. Gen. jackson
presided and thirteen new members were
elected and the usual reports of committees
were received.
The protection of the newspaper files of
the Georgian, the Georgia Gazette aud
other historical publications, by removing
them from the open shelves and placing
them i'll cases, was discussed.
Some of the files of the old newspapers have
been badly mutilated, the binding has been
torn from the volumes and the leaves have
been cut and torn. The files have been
kept on open shelves in the gallery of the
library, exposed to dust and have been mis-
used in handling.
Many Of these publications contain the
only current history of the city during the
latter part of the last century and the early
part of the present century. Their safety
and protection from jury is important
and the society proposes TO place them
where they will be out Of harms way, and
at the same time where they will be aces
sible for reference.

A Colored Couple Who Couldn't Agree
"Nohow and Nowey."
City justices Of the peace have plenty of
opportunity to study human nature, par
ticularly colored human nature.
A colored couple walked into Justice
Sheftall's office yesterday, and in one breath
both asked the justice for divorce They
were evidently man and wife, tut were
anxious to break the tie which bound them.
The justice let the couple tell their story,
out of curiosity. 1t was tale Of conjugal
infeiicity and mutual di satisfaction.
The man got in his story first He said :

fort and | marry her. OATS six years ago.

Justice Sheftall explained that he was not
allowed by law to divorce couples, but see
ing they were agreed together that
they never could agree. he told them to go
to a lawyer and put the case in his hands.
The last seen of the couple they were
going down Bryan street. Marriage was
certainly failure in their case.

CORRECTION.

In the issue of the SENTINEL two
weeks ago, twas stated, in a comment
upon the action OF the Board of Com
missiouers of the Atcliafalaya Basin
Leyee District, in the meeting that
had last been lad, that ''the PROPOSE
tion Of judge Koweii III regard to the
raising and backing Of leyees, on La
fn"rchr. was On motion then laid On
tile table subject to CALI
The SENTINEL then added that this
call was not made.
This statement was added because
no mention of any such action was
found in the official minutes of tie
meeting.
Judge Howell has called upon the
editor and says Chat his motion was
called up, aud, that b. resolution OF
the Board he j. fully authorised to
enter into contracts to raise and back
mp all levees from T~hibodaux as far
lON u US ltNttS tAttllu, anu tildu he
has examined the entire levee, and,
ascertaincd where and what will be
necessary to have done, Il full list of
which can be seen in the office of
sheriff Lorio, by any one who desires
to examine it.
''Tltat the only reason why work has
not been commenced is because in
functions and other legal processes
have been taken to stop the collection
OF taxes. and the raising of funds to
nay for such work; hence, under
existing circumstances, he can enter
into JIG agreements when he cannot see
where the money to pay for such work,
will come from
The SENTINEL chcelfully makes this
statement which puts a different view
upon the question. 1t had no doubt
that Judge Howell had done his duty,
but was oyerruIed by the majority.
The printed proceedings made no
mention Of this fact.
