Old Securities at Auction. $47,800 in Confederate j securities were sold by Messrs Cronly & Morris, auetioDeer8, for $i.50, this morning; also about $70,000 in Confederate currency for $1.50. At the same time and place several individual notes were auctioned off at very low prices. One note, for $200 sold for $1 50. This note would be as good as gold but for the statute of limita tions. The purchaser will of course take his chances. The sale was made by order of administrators. The Bonnie Blue Flac A gentleman who lives in the Eastern section of the city tells us that as he came down to his offioe this afternoon he met on the way a squad of the colored Char leston military, and that thej were singing with a eusto. and apparently as though it was an- old acquaint-nee of theirs, Harry Macarthy's , famous 'rebel1 war song, the 'Bonnie Blue Flag.' It doesn't rhyme with John Brown's Soul' but yet that fact didn't seem to make much differ ence to th singers. .' Yerj Sudden Death.

This ended the proceedings for the day and the august tribunal of the Mayor's Court dissolved its sitting until Monday, the 7t iuit., Anno Domini 1879. i Colored Man Drowned Yesterday. Between the houi a of 11 a. m. land 12 m., yesterday, three colored men in tie employ of Messrs. Worth & Worth under took to come across the river from Point Peter in a bateau, and when about one third of the distance had been accomplish ed, owing to the swell in the river, the boat fi. led. Two of the men, named re spectively Gatner Bell and Sam Pickett, unpertook to swim to the shore, wbile the thiid, named Ben Johnson, clung to the boat until he was picked up by a crew of sailors, who rowed to his assistance, a am Pickett succeeded in reaching the shore but Gatner Bell, either from cramp or exhaustion, was unable to do so, and ( was diowued before assistance could reach him. The deceased was about thirty-live years of age, and has had charge of a flat for the firm by whom he was employed, and is represented as an industrious and steady man. He leaves a wife and one ehilJ. i Celored Boy Drowned at Hilton. Between 4 and 6 o'clock yesterday af ternoon, a young j colored boy, named Sidney Uorsley, aged about 12 years, while in swimming with a party of other boys at Hilton.was drowned It seems that a young bey of the party who stood on the shore threw sticks into the. river for the boys to swim after, and he threw ene so far that Horaley, after starting for; it turned around to come back without it , when, encouraged by bis companions, hie made another effort to reach it, but again turned round and made f r the shore, and when not more thaa 20 or 30 feet from land he became exhausted and sunk. Quite a number stood on the shore, some of them men in stature, who either from fright or some other cause made no at tempt to resoue the drowning boy. The water was about eighteen feet deep where he went down, and after he sunk for the last time an effort was made to dive down and find him, . but it was unsuccessful. The boy has no parents, but has been cared for by an aunt who hr cook in the family of Mr. Geo. R. French, The lad has also been in Mr. French's employ, for aome time past. ' .

Eighth. and thence to the Armory. The Excelsior colored band, of this city, furnished the musk for the oocasioa1, which was pronounced very fine by all who heard it. " The sol dierly 'bearing, and fine marching of the visiting company was likewise favorably commented upon.' ,The company was also frequently complimented for the good leoks of jits members, every man from the Captain down to the lowest private in the rear rank being about the color of an oc- tar eon or quadroon. 1 About 11 o'clock, on yesterday, the line iof march was taken up for Hilton, where, as previously announced, the day they celebrate was to be passed under the shade of the beautiful oaks which adorn what was once an old North Carolina1 homestead. Arrived at the grounds the companies stacked arms and gave them selves up to pleasure and recreation for a short time, some participating in dan- cine while others strolled through the woods with their fair dulcineas by their . . sides. At 1.30 :he meeting for the cele bration of the Fourth was organized by calling iW. K. Price to preside and re- ouestincC. P.

A, of the Fifth Battal ion, after which Lt. Col Mabson, orator of the day, delivered the Oration. At the conclusion of the Oration, re . freshments were served and the visiting military showed their knowledge ' of Upton's tactics in a fine company drill. There were at least twenty-five hundred people in attendance at the speaking, so we are toia, ana ine siriciesi. uecorum was preserved by all present. No spirit- . : 1 1 .1 l r t A.

It seems that Capt.

Dut tneveiuers were rescueu It was hoped at first that the disaster would be confined to tbe eldest daughter, the others having been rescued after having been in the water for some time, but last night, at about 7 o'clock, the other daugh- ters all died. Cautionary signals were displayed. at Foit Macon when the sad disaster occurred, i 1 A later dispatch,! received to-day, states that the bodies of the three unfortunate young ladies were taken to their home this morning and that efforts are now being made for the recovery of the other. Hon. A- H. Stephens. This distinguished Southern statesman arrived in this city yesterday morning on the train from the North, and,1 there be ing no sleeping car for Augusta on the regular train, he stopped over ! until last night. Ha remained at the depot, where he was visited by a number of our most prominent citizens during the day. He did net corao down to the city at all, preferring the comfort of his easy chair and the luxury of the cool breeze under Qo J the lonir ahed at the depot.
