The Late Fair -Uet of Premium..
Wi conclude in this moraine's iaeue, mod pub
lish comp ete in our Weekly, the List of Premium#
awarded at the Fair lately held here by the South
ern Central Agricultural Society, ft has been oo
pled front the Reports of Committees with much
«sre, sod will bs found generally correct sad re
liable.
Taken us a whole, the Premium Liat may be re
garded as presenting a fair statement of the char
acter and value of the articioe on exhibition;
thoavh we woalJ not be nnderatood to assert that
the judgments of the different Comuiitttee, or
their awa’d*, are io every instance either jest cr
correct, ttofur from this bring we cue, several
instances have e iti»* to our knowledge in whirh
articles of high merit Uxvc either been slightingly
passed by, or eatir ly overlooked; but when »e
ootieidsr the vsst am mot end strange inemgrnity
of .the object* so hastily huddled together at our
Agriculture! Fairs —the brief time allowed for
their cla*»iflcalton and arrangement—the "lit. e
and bewillering ll.ioogof people, and the great
difficulty experienced in selecting properly quali
fied judges fir the different department*, we can
not but wonder that tho prizes should be ao fairly
and impartially distributed.
Tto recant Fair wa-, iu many respects, highly
creditable to the Society, and gratifying to all wl o
take an Interest in the progressive development of
the great and inexhaustible ru-ourcea of the South.
Iu ad the more i.. p-xtatil departments, such as
Field Crops, asm "Is- >1 F.eld Crops, Cotton Hales,
CaUIo of the inn roved breeds, Horses, Swine,
Poultry, the 11 .u ,ould, Southern Domestic Man
ufacture*. Needle and Fancy Work, and manufac
turo'l articlea of various kinds, we do not think it
bat aver been surpassed in Georgia or tho South.
In the Fruit, Floral aud Vegetable department,
there was an evident falling off, winch may partly
be attributed to the unfavorable character of tho
late season, and partly to the neglect of many of
our own citizens in bringing forward their contri
butions, which are well known to be of such a
quality as would have effected a material change
in the Horticultural and Floral Department—
We hope the next season will be more pro
pitious, and tru-t that the charge of aputby and
want of interest in the Fair, so froely urged against
the horticulturists and florist* of this section, will
be deprived of it* force by the zed ar.d energy
evinced at tho exhibition of next ycur, which it
is generally conceded will be again held in this
plaoo.
The number cf people in attendance upon the
Pair, from ell parte ol the country, woe very
large end highly respectable, end the general opin
on (no far ua wo have heerd it* expression) moat
favorable. Many pleasant incident* (which, at
present, wo havo neither time nor room to chron
icle) occurred during the progress of the Exhibi
tion, and bed tho weather been favorable through
out, the oujoyuieut of tho crowd and the prosperity
of tho Society would have been greatly augmcnte< »
Upou the whole, the Fair wae a auccoaaful one
aud wo doubt not that in interest and value it will
be greatly increased next year. The Society
be* been ateudily progressing and increasing in
nsefaluesa eiuco its formation, and has effected a
moat wonderful change in tho planting, stock
raising, muchanion I aud mannfacturiug interests of
Georgia and tho adjoining States. Many of the
present officers havo labored steadily and perse
veringly in the harness since the beginning, at no
little aacrillce of time, money and effort, and with
no other object than tho general good. To insnro
the pormaiicy and success of tho Society heroaftcr,
It is only necessary that the pnhlio at large, (Inclu
ding all classes and all profusions,) should feol
and manifest a proper interest in Ita exhibitions,
and do all in their powor to contribute to their at
tractiveness and valuo. Lot the friend* of agri
culture be true to themselves, aud nothing can
oheck or ntuy the progress of improvement in this
highly favured section of our common country.

An tl o time ia near at baud when the courxo of
Loot urea will commoiice in this Inatitatiou, it may
not ba improper to invito tho attention of those
engaged i n tho study of Mcdiuine to tho advantages
it offers, and the facilities it affords, to aid them in
the Investigation of the science. Its locution in an
inland city, proverbial for health, Is not surpassed
for sslnhrity by any other Institution, while it is
easy of access trom all scotions. Beard, and ail
the necessary expenses, Are cheap. The Museum,
whioli is woll tilled with every variety of specimen
that call assist the student, is equal to any wo have
ever aoen; and the Library not surpassed by tiiat
of any similar Institution in tho South. Tho vari
ous Chairs uro filled by men of long experience in
the practice or the brunches of the profession they
respeatively teach. All ol which combine to ren
der tho Institution us woll fitted to qualify gcntlo
men for tho duties of tboir profession as any in
the Boutb, and wo command it to their patronage.

Tho Advertiser, of Saturday, the 92d instant,

there hun again beon an increase of mortality.
The whole nambor of deaths for (he last T days
has been 58, or 18 more than for tho week provi
ous. The rooord now stands as follows:

Os those attributed in the reports to “other
eausos,” at least one hall muy be regardod as oc
oaaiouod by the prevailing epidemic. This would
give no a total of 1051 deaths from yellow fever
alone, since the Ist if August.
It should be borne in mind, howevor, that the
greater portion of deaths now reported ocour in
the surrounding country. The city proper is
probably as bsslthy as usual at this season.
It ie singular, that (besidos the Point Clear Hotel)
Cottage Ililt has been, if our iuformation is oor
reot, the only settlement in the vicinity that hoe
continued entirely exempt.
The drought still ooutinues. The sunshine has
been unseasonably warm, though north winds
have prevailed—a state of things usually regarded
as most unfavorable to health. There is now no
apparent prospect either of rain or frost.
We ero not well informed on one subject, but
onr impression is that but lew of the residents
reoontlv returned have been sick. The number
of such, however, is smell; and it is still prudent
fcr those who arc absent to delay their return yet a
little longer, unless urgent reasons require their
presence in the city.
Stxamkrs Bvrst and Snagokd. —Three steam
boats were burnt at Si. Louis on the 18th instADt.
Whilst the hsuds of the steamer itontaut were
burning pitch, immediately in the rear of her boil
er», for the purpose of cementing her decks, the
kettle containing the pitch bunt, and the contents
spread over the deck, which, coming in contact
with the tire, was soon enveloped in flames. So
rapid was their progress that in a few minutes the
steamer Rdtrt tMmplxil caught fire, and in a short
time was in a perfect sheet of flame. The steamer
Iwnrtfr next took fire, aud was also oonsumed.
The Lunette had about 150 tons of freight on
board for Galena and other points on the Upper
Mississippi river, all of which was entirely con
sumed. The Montank and Campbell had each
about thirty tons of freight on board, and were
loading for the Missouri river.
The St. Louis papers also record the lose ofthree
river steamers by casualties. On the morning of
the 12th iustsnt the steamer OoU** lira struck e
log at the head of Amaranth Island, fonr milts
below Clarksvtllo, and sunk id eight feet water.
She was on her way up the river, and had a valua
ble cargo on board. Information was reoeived st
the same time of the sinking of the steamer £ H.
Ltt, on the Upper Rapids, in what is known as
Campbell's Chain; and also of the sinking of the
steamer /'fag, at Fliit Island, on the Ohio river,
bound for Bt. Louis.
Fit ter at Biu.ua.—The Selma Sentinel, of the
ltih, states that there is much difference of opinion
among the physicians there, on the question,
What tier they hive yellow fever or not. There is
no question, however, that mnch sickness exists.
Half of tiie population have left the town. On
Saturday, Sunday aud Monday, there were 11 in
terments, aooordiug to the best information ob
tunable by the Sentinel.
The same paper announces the death of Major
•ne, of the Dallas House.
Aw AuaasiOAW Abrxstsd is Europe. —A certain
American merchant from New York, who it is al
ladged, ran away from that city, leaving behind
him debts to the amount of $50,000, after having
sect a large invoice of goods to Bremen and his
wife with notes to be paid at Hamburg, has just
bean arrested in Earope, It is mid, by theexsrtions
of Dr. Sehroedar, who had received orders to- stop
him, from parties in New York. The prisoner
was searched and ali the money and papers fouud

MACHINERY.
The Jedges on Machinery had the foregoing ar

that but for a single one of them, a premium had
been offered by the Society. This they deplore,

industrial department, there be a fund placed at
the disposal of the J edges, so that meritorious ar

some tangible mark of appreciation.

Tho steamship Mexico, Capt. Thompson, arrived
at New Orleans on the I Gth, from ludianola and
Galvoston. By this arrival wo are placed in pos
session of Galveston dates to the 14th, and InJia
nola to the 12th.
Wo fiud in the Galveston News, of the 14tli, tho
Sexton’s report of interments for the three days
ending on thelßtb, including hospital,ns follows:
Tuesday 7
Wednesday 2
Thursday 4
The samo papor has the following remarks con
cerning the health of Galveston:
“The Sexton’s report for tho last three days in
dicates just about tho samo amount of mortality
as previously reported, the average deaths being
something over four per day. The sickness now,
as compared with what it was when tho epidemie
was at its worst, has certainly considerably dimin
ished, bnt all agree that the diminution is attribu
table solely to the greater scarcity of subjects
liable to recoivo the infection.”
Wc find tho following paragraph in the Galves
ton Civilian, of the 14lh:
“Tho fever is particularly severe upon vessels
arriving hero from Northern ports. Tno captain,
mate, and three sailors of the bark Norumbega
havo been attacked within the last twenty-fonr
hours. Os the bark Trinity, which has left port,
the captain died, the first and second mates and
seven sailors were sick. This constitutes her en
tire crew. Tho sickness on the Island City was
nearly as extensive. Thore were suvcral eases on
tho Empire. Great cantion should bo used to pro
tect the crews of vessels arriving from Northern
or European ports, for some time to come.”
The Indianola Bulletin of th 12th, says—
“ About ten or twelve days ago we were flatter
ed by the hope that the disease was rapidly de
clining, under tho effects of a strong nortner; but
that was followed by a succession of intensely hot
days and cool nights, which revived the disorder,
and doubtless caused several deaths. Yesterday
and to-day we again have cool and ploasant weath
er, with a good prospect for a norther. The deaths
for the last seven days have been 11 —6 children
and 5 adults. Tho number of deaths from tho
commencement of the epidemic, 87."
Lieut. Geo. C. Barber, U. 8. A., Assistant Com
missary, stationed in this city, is among the vic
tims to the epidemic. But a few weeks since we
published his marriage to a daughter ol Maj. Bab
bitt, when all his prospects in life seemed fair.—
Now ho is called hence, to leave all of earth for
that final lost lo which all things human must go.
The Bulletin gives the following “crop” item:
“Allowing for tho very limited effects of the
cotton worm, in some neighborhoods, the crops of
Western Texas, this year will greatly surpass the
yield ot any previous season.”
The Austin Southwestern American publishes a
letter from Belton, stating that some Indians mado
a descent on the settlement eight miles above Bel
ton, on the 29th nit., and stole twenty-five horses.
A company of fifteen men started in pursuit of
them on tho Ist invt. Indian signs are also stud
to have been soon in several places. The editor of
the above paper attribntes this movement entirely
to tho breaking np of tho inner line on that fron
tier, and the opinion appears to be entertained
that this is only the commencement of more Berious
trouble from the savages.
The Bastrop Advertiser says the weather has
been fine for some time, and much cotton has been
picked, bnt that much more cotton is raised than
can possibly be picked, however fine the weather
may be. Corn is abundant, and it is delivered in
Bastrop at 85 cents per bushel.
Mississippi.— Tho Natchez Free Trader of the
18th inst., says:
There has not been a death within the limits of
thecity forthe past two days.
Daring tho last two days we have had gentlo
rain", but Iho weather continue* warm
A correspondent ot tho Courii r, writing from
Washington on the 15th, says :
We have had some sickness here. There have
boon over 110 cases of yellow fever, of whom 10
have died. We have had, in all this summer, 16
deaths from all diseases. From a rough estimate
made of the population of our village, there have
been from 550 to 600, white and black, of whom
fully one third are strangers. Those last two
days have brought a renewal of attacks. There
are now some six or eight under treatment; but
thedisease is milder in its character. Independent
of yellow fever, we have had more sickness in and
around our village, than I havo ever known
here.
The Paulding Clarion says that a mineral Bpring
has been discovered near that town, which, if its
effects upon the human constitution are evidence
ot its qualities, has most valuable medicinal pro
perties. It has cured severe cases of diarrhoea in
several instances effectually, and within a short
period of time. The Clarion has little doubt that
those waters are invaluable in many chronic
oases.
The Holly Springs Times, of the 12th inst.,
says:
Within the last month or two we havo been
generally through the country, and the informa
tion we gather from the planters is that the cotton
crop will be a light one. The yield of corn will be
good, though not as abundant as last year.
There is no yellow fever at either Kaymond or
Clinton, so Bays the Hinds County Gazette, of the
12th inst.
The Yazoo Whig, of the 14th, says there was no
abatement of the epidemic in that city, although
the sexton’s report shows a falling off in the num
ber of deaths. This, the Whig Bays, is for want of
subjects. The deaths for six clays were 18, all of
yellow fever.
The Carrollton democrat, of the 12th inst., de
nies that any case of fever has yet appeared in
that town, and says that tho case reported ae
such was only billioua fever.
Tax Atlanta Bank Bills.— The Chicago Jour
nal publishes a letter from Mr. F. C. Adams, 44
Clark-street, Chicago, in which he states that he
presented $5,000 in bills of the Atlanta Bank, at
the counter of George Smith <Sr Co., and asked for
currency in their place, and it was refused. The
Journal repeats its caution—“beware of the Atlan
ta Bank Bill
And beware of Dye’s Bank Mirror, which hae
endorsed the concern as sound and the paper safe.
Atlanta Bask Noras Kipcdutkd.— An attempt
having been made throughout Wisconsin, as else
where, to buy up the recent crops with the issues of
the Atlanta Bank, public meetings have been held
in various localities in that State, for the purpose
of expressing the sentiments of the people in re
gard to the introduction of these shinplaatars into
circulation. At a meeting held at Jameeville last
week, the following resolution was unanimously
adopted.
Seecieed, That the farmers of Rock county will

The CtvU War in China.
1 The London Times publishes the following letter
from a naval officer on the Chine station :
Hermes, Shanghai, July 9.
I take this opportunity of writ ug a few lines
about the important and interesting movement
here, oar boat* having just returned from Ching
kiar.g-foo, where they had been in search of
some deserters from the Salamander enticed
•way by the Toutar’s (Chinese Governor’s) peo
ple.
They report that the insurgents, by the con
fession of the Imperia ists, confirmed by them
avlvea, hid taken Fungyaug, the capital of a de
partment, some time since, bad beaten a large
force which we knew to be somewhere there un
der Keshen. The latter also stated—and I have
no doubt of it—that they had taken Kwei-tih, also
the capital of a department, and close to the Yel
low River.
From the few veesefs at the mouth of the Grand
Canal, as compared with what there were when we
passed, and from the few troops at Ching-kiang
foo (from 8,000 to 5,000,) as compared with what
then were there (50,000 or 60,0f>0,) they must have
a large force in the North.
Many have been inclined to say that they were
losing all the moral effect of their capture of Nan
kin, and they showed themselves unequal to an
emergency ; but it appears to me that their plai
have been and are admirable. They brought awa
a quantity of children, and, I suppose, women,
from Quang>i, whom it would have ombartas-cd
them exceedingly to have carried on ut present;
so they fortified and provisioned Nankin for their
reception ; and then, or rather at the same time,
commenced fortifying Cbing-kiang-foo, as the key
to IbeGraud Canal, leaving force enough in them
to defend them, and by occasional sallies, to keep
the Imperialists under the impression that their
forces were greater, and so draw offatteution from
what was their real object a'l along—viz : tho cap
ture of Pekin. 1 had no doubt that their inten
tion, when wo were up in the Hermes, was to pro
ceed thither with all convenient haste, out thm
evaded our question by saying, “We are waiting
orders from the Tae-ping-wanr ;” or, “waiting foi
a revelation as to whore we shall go.”
The effect has been to keep 15.000 men atChiug
kiang-too, aud 1 fanoy tlio whole of the army of
General Hoang—he that was lately made Viceroy
of soven provinces, poor man, though seventy
five, and is now ordered up to Pekin to lose Ids
head. Soon they will not get any ouc to under
take tho charge.
W bile tho insurgents were fortifying these places
they were building, or altering boats, 1 prosumo to
carry theircomuiissuriat, lor, as they havestopped
tho supplies going North, they would require to
take supplies with them. Building or altering
vessels was necessary, because this is rather a lor. 1
time of year foraoanal.
You will observo that the places taken rather
indicate that thoy are not travelling by the canal.
This may be partly because it is low, and partly to
beatthe forces opposed to them in detail, or to
prevent a junction between tho Mnntchoo army
under Keshen, and the Chinese army under
Hcang, near Nankin, for, though they Bhould ad
vance upon Pekin, it would be fatal* to them to
lose Nankin. There is a largo Tartar force in
Wbagnan, near the mouth of tho Yellow River,
aud they may wish to avoid this for tho present.
I fancy this last move up to tho Yellow River has
been mado in a fortnight, and the probability is
that, as the foreos were assembled there, having
passed them, their course will bo rapid.
I havo it trom a very intelligent Chinese Scrip
ture reader, who has been in Ei glxud und speak-
English very well, that ho was toid by a soldier,
near Nankin, where he had been, that 1,000 sol
diers offered to join the insurgent ranks, but
would not be accepted unloss they embraced Chris
liunity, which they refused to do.
The gates of Nankin remain open, but, it isbaid
the ground in their viciuity is miuod. I was much
amused by tho Toutar here, who, when onlarginu
upon the numbers of the Imperial army, and do
predating the number of the insurgents, being
asked why they did not retake Nankin, said,
‘Wny it is ail full of holts; tho imperialists drove
a lot of buffaloes in, and they ail disappeared, so
thoy were ufraid to follow lest they should tumble
in.’
Tho whnlo country seems hostile to tho Man
choos, and will turn instantly tho insurgent* ar
rive at Pekin and issue their mandates. The.',
have excellent information from all paits. Thus,
there was a large sum ol mouoy coming up from
Canton, for the Imperialists; they sent a party ot
4,000 from Nankin, who made a sweep round lo
the South, and cut off tho party escorting the
treasure, and returned to Nankin in sa’oty, pass
ing through tbs Imperialist army eac time.
They received our officers and the consular in
terpreter most graciously, but expressed u wisli
that Europeans should not vißitthem unless they
intended staying, as the Imperialists would take
their heads and say the insurgents had done it.—
They wore evidently unwilling that we should
know thoir movements, lest they should trans
spire, and the Imperialists, become aware of them;
but 1 think the latter aro getting apprehensive,
and aro drawing their forces by degrees away from
Chins kiang foo. They admitted to our officer
thatthey had no expectation of retnkingany of the
places, and aro, indeed, getting quite reckless as
to consequences, seeming more concerned to
know where opium was to bo had than anything
olse. Strange to say, tho first question they asked
was, ‘Havo you any opium to sell V and on our
people visiting thoir junks to the number of 70,
they found nearly all were opium smokers, cer
tainly all the mandarins.
Tho Admiral of the fleet was so much under its
ihflucnco that two or three minutes after having
entered our boat to go round the fleet he fell
asleep, aud very shoitiy begged off, as quito una
ble to go further. These fellows never go into
action, and seem quite content if the vessels fire
both sides, regardless of whether they hit any
thing, or whether there bo anything to hit. They
have made a noise, and, because, not taken < r
sunk, thoy report a triumph.
The insurgents are daily becoming more popu
lar. Seeing that they do violence to so many ol
the feelings of tho Chinese, tho wonder is hov
they should be so popular as they are. It can
only be that the Manchoos are intensely unpopu
lar.
At one time the Chinose Roman Catholics (not
so the European) wero apprehensive of tho suocoss
of tho Manchoos, because, thoy say, if they sue
oeed, Christianity, in every shape, will be pro
Bcribed practically if not professedly, and their
heads taken off professedly for political offence*.
There has been a demand for Christian book*,
more particularly from Shang-tung, for the last
month or more, and it continues unabated.—
Others, again, ask for books of the same religion
as that of tho insurgents, aud some have even
asked for instructors to be sent among them.
The insurgents aro wonderfully satisfied as to
their ultimate aud early sucoess—they talk of two
or three months. Tho General at Ching-kiaug
foo said, “I am getting an old man now, bu: I
could beat any twelvo ot thoao fellows opposed to
us," and, speakiug of arms—“ The muskets often
miss fire becauso our powder is bad ; and, a* for
those with caps, why wo don’t understand them,
and if we did, we could not make the caps ; now
the spear never missoß fire, and these Imperialists
are afraid of it.”
The great namber of tho junks that were sent
from tho l’ei-ho for grain aro going back empty,
nearly all the people refusing to pay their land
tax. There havo been frequent disturbances near
boro, in consoquenco of their attempting to force
it, and the Government has in euoh case been
obliged to give in.
Tbbtam Bcßoes. —Tho Providence Journal fur
nishes the following brief sketch of the late Tbistam
Bokoes:
Tilstam Barges was born on the 20th day ol
February, 1770. Had he lived to February next
ho would havo boon eighty-four years of age. II«
studied law with Judge Barnes in 1799. In 1801
he married the daughter of Wclcotnbe Arnold,
ono of the most eminent merchants of bis day.
They had seven children, of whom thoy survived
six. In 1815 ho was elected Chief Justice of the
Supremo Court of Rhode Island, but a change ot
politics returned him to tho Bar tho following
year. Soon afUr he was elected Professor of Oru
toryand Belles Letters in Brown University.
In 1525 ho was elected a member of the Hon-e
of Representatives of tho Unitod Slates, where lib
first speech established hiß reputation at once, and
where his fervid eloquence and his withering
sarcasm soon placed him in the front rank among
the public men of the day. As an orator, Mr.
Burges was one of the greatest our country has
produced. His mind was early familiarized with
the best models, and he thoroughly trained him
self to the art which made him most known by the
people. At the Bar he was an able and effective
advocate, and his sallies of wit and sarcasm, os
well as his eloquent and pointed sentences, are
daily repeated by his prolessional brethren who
survive him. Mr. Burges was a firm believer in
the troths of Christianity, a constant and life-long
student of the Bioie, and learned in all theological
controversy, in which ho especially delighted.
A Paris correspondent of tho N. Y. Commercial
writes:
Tho Emperor of Russia has offered Rachel $120,-
000 for ouo year’s performance in his imperial the
atre. She had applied to the Minister of Stale for
permission to absent iiersclf from the Comedio
Francaise, in order to accept tho proposition. The
Minister would havo gladly refused, but in that
case Rachel would have at once withdrawn totally
from the establishment, bo he has oonsontod, and
the tragedienne is already making her preparations
for departure. The literary public are indignant
that Rachel should prefer the money of a “barba
rian” to the consideration sho enjoys in Paris.
Money ought to be no motive to her. Nicholas at
tempted also to take away Bressant, the most per
fect “walking gentleman” on the French stage, by
promoting Bressant from the Gyutnase to tho Co
medie Francaise, and making him a member for
life. This union of stage and state will strike re
publicans curiously.
Galignani’s Messenger (Paris) of the SOtlt ultimo
says:—
“Mr. Brown, the United Mutes Minister in Pru
sia, arrived at Berlin with two sccretarii». He will
have, says a letter, shortly to treat un affair similar
to that of Koszta. A Mr. Henry Von Oeneche was
oondemned, in 1849, for an offence of the press;
hut fled to the United States in 1850, and got him
self naturalized as an American citizen. About a
year ago he returned to Hamburg on private busi
ness. He was arrested, given up to the Prussian
authorities, and removed to the jail of Liegnitz,
where he has since remained. He has applied to
the American Legation for protection as a citizen
of the United States.”
We regret to learn from a letter dated London,
the 4th inst., received here yesterday by the At
lantic’s mail, that the barque Leonic, Capt. Leslie,
bound with a cargo of Sugar from Mantanzas to
St. Petersburg, has been stranded on the Eyuer
lsns Banks, off the coast of Holland, and that all
on board were lest. The Leonie belonged to Mr.
H. W. Kuhtmann, of this city, and left Matanzas
on the 28th of July, arriving at Cowes on the 2d
ult., whence she sailed for her destination on tho
25th nit., having been kept waiting in the interim
tor orders. Capt. Leslie was an old and respected
ship-master of this port, having formerly com
manded the barque Harriet & Martha. His wife
and two daughters were with him at the time of
the disaster, and all therefore shared the same
melancholy fate.— Ch Cour , 20 th inet.

At the late Fairin Stamford, of the Fairfield Coun
ty Agricultural Bociety, a notorious English pick
pocket named “Ned Hammond,” was arres ed in
the very act of rifling the personal treasury of a
solid, country gentleman. Ned was promptly tried,
convicted, and sentenced, under the name of “Sey
mour,” to the State prison for three years.
His capture was adroitly turned to the benefit of
the Fair, for as he bad victimized several persons
on the ground, he was, at the suggestion of the
president of the Society, P. T. Barnaul, Eaq., pla
ced, on the last day amoDg the other curiosities,
and as a consequence, the receipts for tickets of

longer to be numbered amongst the living ( He breathed
his last on the morning of the 12th instant. He was known
and beloved by us all, and most sincerely do we lament hi*
loss. As a man—as a citizen, whether in public or private
station, and as a fellow Mason, be bad more than our res

honor, his perfect honesty and uprightness in hia general

candour, firmness and sincerity ; and all ihoso manly
virtues which characterise a generous and noble nature)
and for which he was so much distinguished, had won the

So warm-hearted, so full of hope and promise, Just enter

of Providence. With meekness and humility let us bow to
his dispensations, with the full assurance that his ways are
right! He is the great Master who does no wrong. In

brother has but been called at an early hour In life, from
his work below to a higher add greater work above , in

see him no more in this life, and though “ the places that
knew him, shall know him no more,” yet shall he continue

brethren, but in the hearts and memory of that wide oircle
of surviving friends to whom his acquaintance had ex

Died at his residence, in Taliaferro county, on the night
of the 12th inst., Mr. THOMAS CHAPMAN, aged 64 yean.
The deceased was a worthy, good citizen and a moat
excellent man. la all his dealings with Hie world, he was
scrupulously exact and honest. He left a disconsolate
widow and several children and grand-children, besides
numerous friends, to mourn his loss.
Died at his residence in Taliaferro county, on the 15th
inst, HENRY STEWART, aged about 92 years.
Mr. Stewart was a soldier of the war of the Revolution.
He was a native of North Carolina, and it was in that State,
when but a youth, he zealously espoused the cause of Inde
pendence. Alter liberty was achieved, he moved to Geor
gia, and in the early settlement of this country located him
self upon the place where he afterwards continued to live,
and where he died. For his services in the Revolutionary
war, he received a pension from the General Government.
He was the last surviving patriot on that honorable list
of worthies In this county. In all the walks of life, he was
a most estimable citizen. His character was without spot
or blemish —truth, purity and jtut : ce marked hi* every act.
In him the rising generation had a living model of that un
alloyed virtue and genuine patriotism which market the
true men of that period which u tried men’s souls.” And,
though be be now dead, may those who knew him, never
forget, under similar circumstances, to follow his noble ex
ample.
Died in Charleston, 8.0., on Sunday, Oct. 16th, of a pain
full illness, Rev. WILLIAM L. HUGHES, late of the Greene
Street, Presbyterian Church in this city.
A meek and unaffected Chiistian; a studious, laborious
and self-denying minister; and an amiable, courteous
and generous minded man, 3ir. Ilughts possessed rare
qual ficationsfor usefulness in the work to which he had
devoted his life. His sun has gone down while it was yet
day, but it has set in brightness. His pure and consistent
life has closed in a peaceful and happy death. The dis
pensation which has removed him so soon from a large
and dependent family, and from the Church of Christ, is a
mysterious one; but where Reason fails, Faith answers.

Liverpool Market.
LIVERPOOL, Oct. 7.—ln onrcircular advices of the 80th
ult., $ Canada, we reported our cottou market as closing
heavily on that day, with estimated sales of 6000 bales. On
Saturday, no change from the previous irregularity was
apparent,and holders, being anxious to make progress,
were in favor of buyers, the business amounting to
bales. The Asia’* accounts Imparled a better tone to
the operations of Monday, and more steadiness to rates,
without,however, swelling the sales beyond 7000 bales,
which included2oOO to speculators and exporters, and em
braced some large parcels of other than American descrip
tions. Tuesday’s business opened with symptoms of re
newed confidence, but a telegraphic despatch, announcing
that Turkey had declared war with Russia, caused the
withdrawal of many orders, and restricted the transactions
to 6000 bales, a good portion of which were made by one
house at the best rates obtainable. On Wednesday the
sales were limit’ d to 6,000 bales, at very Irregular rates,
the market being again over-supplied, and alleager tosell.
Yesterday, poliuoul advices were not so menacing, but in
the doubt overhanging the future, operations were restrict
ed to parcels pressed for sule and offering on low terms, the
businessestimated at 5,000 bales. The trade purchase
only iu small quantities, and speculators coniine their ope
rations within the limit of templing inducements.
The total sales of the week umuunt to 80,170 bales, of
which 3,460 are to Speculators,and 1000 to Exporters, and
include 24,650 bales of American, of which 8280 aro to
Speculators and 780 to Exporters, leaving 81.12 J bales of
all kinds to the trade.
The import for the samo time Is 12,400 bales, of which
1,004 are American.

The Frankliu’s advice* have not influenc d the market
to-day, which closes quietly, with estimated sales of 6,000
bales, of which 1,000 aro to speculators and exporters.
In the present unsettled state of affairs, previously re
ported upon, in wh.ch no amelioration can be noticed, it is
impossible to base any calculation likely to prove accurate
as to the probable future, reasoning bciu / varied each day
according to fresh developments. Considerable weight is
attached, and justly so, to the causes commented on iu
our previous issues, and the depression la further increased
by the apprehension of the Dank again advancing the rate
of Interest. The stock of Cotton in this country, on the
Continent, and iu America is much in excess of that held
at the corresponding period lust year, nnd although much
of the same may be, and undoubttdly is, of a quality i-nflt
for shipping purposes in genera), the balance promises to
be quite adequate to the wuuts oi all classes under the re
duced consumption row cstabl.shed, and which Is threaten
ed with greater curtailment, should the operatives in the
manufacturing districts much longer persist in their un
reasonable demands.
lc is within the scope of possibility that our import of new
and old Cotton (notwithstanding causes are at present
against it) may be equal to our consumption for the re
mainder of this year, and viewing that prices arc not lower
than at the correrpondlng period of 1862, with a much
dearer money market, short harvest and increased price
of all articles of food, and other causes already referred to,
we see no reason to expect improvement, so long as the
prospec s are before us for a supply anything like the same
extent as last season secured to us.
In is little or nothing doing beyond
what was progrift, and no criterion can be formed of the
course of , rices, which, however, favor buyers of both
Goods and Yams. There is a disposition to extend opera
tions, but the partially confirmed accounts of war be de
clared, and the summoning together of the British Parlia
ment, induces extreme caution and checks business. The
strikes continue, and mill-owners contemplate a general
doting of their establishments if the unions are not speedily
dissolved.
Our Grain market showed symptoms of weakness in the
early pai tof the week, the difficulty of renewing negotia
tions with banks compelling many speculators to realize in
order to meet existing engagements, which eaused a de
cline of 2s.@Bs. 70 lbs. in Wheat, and ls.@ls.od. $ bid.
in Flour. Contiuentiul advices, however, stopped the
downward tendency, uud brought forward fresh operators;
the decline was recovered, and the market has since ueen
more active. It is not at all unlikely that u large portion
of the recent shipments from America to the French ports
may find their way here, the quality being unsuitable for
the demand. At to-day’s meeting the attendance was
limited, and the business confined to a < oysumptive demand
at prices In favor of buyers for all articles, and a tendency
to further decline.
