Mr. Editor: —Please allow me to commend to
Travellers the excellent hotel in your city, called
the “ Planters’ Hotel.” The arrangements are
very suitable for ladies and families, aud the cour
teous proprietor is always ready to do obliging
services. Mr. Robniisis moat attentive to the
comforts and wants of his guests, and the more
they requ re the more anxious he is to aid them. —
On a recent occasion, when a blind lady and her
affectionate sifter stepped at his house, be gener
ouuly and kindly refused to receive any pay for
two weehß board, but requested them to remain as
long as suited their convenience, fcuch liberality
is creditable to his heart, and I think deserves to be
recorded. _ A Visitor.

1 in tunes i ke these, the man who has contented
1 uimself wuh moderate gains, has kept his liabilities
w hin bis means. tonUucted his business on a sub

wi i be most ikety to go through the crisis un

water works.
The first of the necessities or our city at rhe pre
sent time, is unquestionably the establishment of a
s)stem of Water Works, by which a e eady and
ample supply of water may be furnished In this
pasiicular, we are very far behind many other cities
of less population and more limited means, than
w*e possess. Others too, with not a tithe ot t e
facilities we ti joy lor piocuring tbs element, so
indispensable to our contort and convenience, have
constructed magnificent and durable woiks, at an
immense expenditure of time aud money, entailing
upon their successors burdens of debt which ar
cLeertully borne in consideration ot tbe inestimable
benefits conierred. Uuder any cir uaa ancr-s it
would be ob igatory upou ua to devise some method
by which our deficiencies in this respect cou.d be
remedied, but wueu it is within our power to ac
complish so de irable au object, at a comparatively
msignificaut outlay, it is not only our ducy to com
inenccj the work, but to hasten it forward with all
the energy which its magnitude and our wants de
maud.
The record of tbe proceedings of Council will
ebow thit this mat er baa been previously under
consideration. Two years go, a resolution waa
introduced to enquire into Hie expediency of es’ab
lisbing a system u! Wattr Wui ka, aud a committee
appointed lo take tbe steps rquiaite to a full un
•.errtanning of tbe mean* by winch the work could
be done The commitlee then a, pointed eu-ered
upon the dischaige of their duty by employing an
Engineer of considerable reputati n to survey the
varioua routes proposed, and their levels, and
render the estimates of expense. Our records do
not contain the results to which the committee ar
rived, as uo report has ever been made. The ex
peuse thus incurred by the city does uot seem as
yet, to have produ -ed rny hing but delay.
1 have la’ ely visited Turkuett Spring, the source
of our pr sent supply of wattr, and i am tuliy con
vinced, t’ at we can “continue t derive from thence
a siffie encyot water for drinking and culiuaiy
purposes. Our attention, therefore, should be di
rected to tbe other uses for whioti water is netded
the two most prominent of which are watering our
streets and ex inpuiehiug liree. I recommend that
a plan be adopted by which the water bhali beta
ken et the overfall into the third level of the Canal
By i o doing, the use of the water in the canal tor
manufacturing and milling purposes will not be in
terfered wi.h, nor will the supply for those purposes
be lessened. There is an abundance < f water fur
all the requirements of our city to be obtained from
the toil a level, and it cau he brought into tbe city
from (hat point cheaper than from any other. By
building a leeervoir at this point, there would b- u
ulGcient power to toree the water iuto the reser
vo r to any desired i e ; gbt. ihe water cou.d then
be taken into iron p'pes aud brought up and down
upon each side of Broad street, and the wo’k co’ -
rinu'd until our entire city should be underlaid
with a net-wora of pipes, contributing in Ihe high
est degree, to the comfort, health, and safety of our
‘whole popclation.
By this arrangement a vast quantity of the 1 urk
nett Spring water wou ! d be saved. All now used
for tiiii g cisterns,—iu the busiuesß ot masons—and
for numerous other purposes, would be taken from
the new source, and our supply of pure water great
y increased. The principal objection—inneed, I
may say the on y ore at the first glares, apparently
couiaining force—which I have heard urged to the
plan proposed is that at a very high river the back
water might prevent ihe machinery for carrying the
water iuto the reservoir from working. To th e I
deem it only necessary to reply that the water
already in the reservoir and pipes would be suflicient
t jeupplythe city until the river shou and fall, and
thereby occasion the removal of the cause of the
derangement; and that at no time, probably, wcul
the river remain at a very unusual height f r mure
than two days If ibis matter is taken in band at
once by Council, aud prosecuted with the energy
which its importance requires, the lines ought to be
extended down ‘he whole length of broad street in
live or six months. We have al eady had quite
as much delay as is neciasary, and we should com
mence the work at once, aud carry it on vigorously
to its terinii ation. The expense we should incur,
under the plan suggested, is a matter of inconsider
able impoitaDCe, when compared with the advan
tages to be derived. I therefore moßt earnestly
recommend this subject to your speedy considera
tion aud action.
streets.
In relation to the streets of our city, oencerning
the condition o’ which there have been so many
cotnplaiuts from our citizens for years past, l atn
happy to state that efforts are being made to re
move the causes of those complaints as rapidly as
possible, and 1 indulge the hope that it will not be
loug before a very decided improvement wili be
mani’ested. Upon Ihis, asjupon many other subjects,
in which all tbe inbab tants of a city are interested;
every one has views peculiar so himself, and is
anxious that the method especially favored by him
self shtu and De adopted by the entire community.—
But it is our duty to It ok at the matter in all its
aspects, and while we should not allow ourselves to
disregard the experience of others, whose attention
has been more generally devoltd to this point in
other cities, nor hesitate to listen to onr own citizens
whose 0] is ions are entitled to respect, we can,
after a mature consideration of our requirements
and tacilitien, arrive at a conclusion of our own,
which will, I trust, meet satisfactorily the wishes of
our peopl-.
Count il has ordered Plank roads to be laid upon
the following streets; On R-ynolds-ttreet foot
Centre to Campbell—on Washington from Rey
colds to the Depot of the Savannah A Augusta
Railroad, and on Jaokson from Reynolds to the
Depot of ihe GeO'gia Railroad. These works are
rap.dly progressing, aud being substantially con
struc'.ed will be ot very great service to tbe busi
ness of transportation, and prove of great relief to
ail who have occasion ta travel over the streets on
winch they are laid.
The project ot erecting a Work House, in which
negroes confined far punishment, and idle and
pr, fi gate whites teurenced to pecuniary penalties,
wfcich they are unab e to pay, for infractions of our
city ordinances, shall work out the terms of their
imprisonment, is one that has long been freely
agitated by our citizens, and should iu my opinion
be favorably regarded by Council. This object
would be best aocomp ished by erecting a building
and enclosing a sufficient space at or near the
Canal basin. Five or s'X miles above the city, on
the Canal, there is touud a quarry of rock, said to
be < qua! to any that can b* procured from the
North. The materia! thus almost at hand might be
btougbt down the Canal and broken by the priso
ner* at the \\ ork House, in Buefc quantities and for
su b localities as should be directed by Council, at
a small expense. The vicious whfie and unman
ageable negro would, uuder this system, be com
pelled to render some service to tfce community
they have so loDg annoyed, and the good result
would speedily be demonstrated in the greater or
der prevalent in our oity, and the decreased num
ber of cases upon our pol ce dockets. I oommend
this subject to your early attention.
street light*.
Although up to tne present time ee much has not
be, u done iu the way of lighting the oity as it was
expected, and hoped at the commencement of the
undertake g would be etili there has been
enough accomplished to add vastly to the conve
nience of the citizens, and demons rate conclusive
1, tbe importance of a further advance 1 have not
to argue to Council the many advantages deriva
ble from well-lighted streets and alleys—every in
telligent member of the Oommumt- fully appre
cia'es the value of such improvements, and com
prehends the necessity of extend,ng them until ali
sections are provided. A’ a safe guard to life and
property street light is invaluable, end as a means
of detecting burglars, thieves, and criminals of
every degree, who select the night as the period for
I heir operations, it is indispensable That we shall
soon be in a conei ion to turnieh every part of our
city, is greatly to be desired Tbe light we now
have, is that turnished by the Augusta Gas L’ght
Company, under a contract with Council, and by
Council “rom Phosgene. In tfce Augcsta Ga- L ght
Con pany tbe city is a large stockholder; ihe
amount of her stock being $ 11,21.0 She is also
the largest consumer. The a circumstances taken
into Consideration, in connection with tbe fact, that
she i* a par icipant in large dividends declared by
tfce Company, (amou ting during tfce las; year to
$1,610 00,) it is fair to presume tfcat a mutual for
bearance will be exercised by both Couactl and tbe
preeeDt Company, and the unhappy d.ff-r-nets
which have arisen between them, aoj osted on a ba
sis agreeable to both. I w„uld recommend ‘hat
the present contract with the Company be continued
if it can be done to the satisfaction ol Council, and
that the Company be encouraged to extend the.r
pipes so as the Gas Lights may supercede those
lamps iu which the Phosgene is now used. If it be
found impo sible or inexpedient to continue the
present arrangement with the Gas Company, I
would recommend that the city proceed to con
etruct Gas Work’ at her own expense, and to be
exciueiaely under her own control. The expense
of lighting the city for tbe year ending 6 b April,
1859, as reported by the Commi'tee on Finance,
amounted to the sum of $10,434 SI It will he seen
that we are now paying the interest on $150,000,
for lights, one half ot which sum would doubtless,
prove ample to supply ali of our wants, if expend
*d in the erection ot Gas Works. I recomm-nd
that Council appoint a o mmittee to comer with the
Directors us the Gas L ght Company, with a view
of making some arrangement by which the oity may
be better and cheaper lighted than at present And
in tfce event that said committee should be unable
to make the necessary arrangement with th Gas
Light Company, that they be empowered to pro
ceed forthwith to tfce erection of Gas Woiks for tfce
use of the city.
WHARVES, RIVER AND BRIDGE.
S'coe my election, I have ordered repairs, which
in my judgment were necessary, to be made to the
Vt harvee, ana the work will b*’continued. as may
be required We mu t not permit these great
faoiii iee to the Merchant* and other business men
of Augusta, to get into a condition that will impair
their value, ana render them of lees accommodation
to *ao*e for whose benefit they were constructed.
There are immediately at me wharves, accumu
iati nt **f sand, rendering it exceedingly and ffieult or
at an ordinary stage of the riv-r to bring
boats uj for the dewvery of goods. Ip will be ne
ceaeary that poin- method be ad pted by Council
anc that speedily , for the removal of obstruc
tions. Var’cus plans have been suggte’ed ter
deepening the river at *he wharves, aud no time
should be I*t in sdopting or devising means
whereby an of jec: of suca importance can be con
summated.
I recommend that a draw be made in the lower
Brt jge for tbe purpoe-of enablmg steamers to ap
proach the wharves above. A petition t* this effect
is now before body, to woich aro attached the
names of a large number of our merchants of the
I lghest respectability. Were tfce necessity for this
improvement not so apparent as it must “oe to the
mind of every man whose a*ten ion bos been di
reeled to tb* matter, I should be inolinec. to tu sitate
l ag ere I ciuegaided tbe opinions and-denied tbe
application of men, so we i qualified as are a lerge
majority ot tbe eigners of thst petmoa, to judge of
the wauls of tbe commercial interests of our city
A draw in the bridge w< uld not only relieve t: em
of tbe disadvantages under which they now fre
quently labor, but complaints are made by tfce
inhabitants on B*y sheet, bel w tbe bridge, of tbe
great icouDvanietice to which they are subjected in
constq t.nce of tfce large quantities of cotton often
accumulated at their doots. watting for shipment.
Thin proieot, therefore, meets theappiova! of all
sections, and 1 specially urge it to your favorable
action.
HOSPITAL.
It has loug heeu a settled opinion of mice that
th* ardent dseir* ul a oousiderabl* number of our
ci'iitptia fir the removal of tbe Hcc>ital from its
present! ■cation shoo'd be gratified. 0 here cf my
assm iai*. tu Council have also eu'ertaned this
sen iiurtit. hut hitherto tte principal difficulty seems
‘ ■’ nave been that tn removing tee bur-ec tromone
|."iti a ot tfce people we enouiU nut do soto injure
and a'lttoy auo'her. Tba’ we should be care ui to
avoid turning it up in any iubabtted quarter is evi

e ar< n w destitute of a building other than ths
(toy Hoepita’, iu which we can pace persons suf
tnli g Irotn malignant and inttc■ lous c spaces, we
m gin be doing our communl'y irreparable wrong.
Tli'r-* s, however, in my judgment a mode by
which the removal of the Hospital can not only be
t fleeted to the entire satisfaction of all, but it can
be done to tbe advantage of the City, pecuniarily,
l lts building at present used s totally without com
vt-nifiice* tor the ®iek, Hud is in & dilapidated con
dition. I’ht> lot is a very one—coiEprisiDjf an
entire square, and its !ocati*m will soon be uquiii;
the most d-sirabie in tbe city for tbe erection of
private dwelling*,
by dividing ibis square ia lots of a proper size, a
much larget amount would probably be realized by
tbe etiy than would suffice to CA.natract a building
particu'arly ad-p Led to the purposes of a Hospital,
and worthy of tli© designation. I recoauneud that
l fit* location of tbe City Hospital be changed to the
corner or near the corner of Lincoln and South
Boundary s reeta, and that tbe lo* now occupied be
►old It th sbe done, tbe revenues of tbe city will
be increased—the safety of • ur eiliz -us be placed
iu lees jeopuidy, and a fruitful source of Vexation
and comp aint be removed. To tbia subject Ide
aire your speedy attention.
CONCLUSION.
I have thus, gentlemen, as briefly as I thought
consistent with the importance of the subjects, en
deavored to lay before you the views I entertained
m re’.ati >n thereto. They are subjects for )Our
present consideration, and will soon demand your
legislation. It received by you favorably, they will
be tbe means of adding tc our financial resources
by giving new impulses to ail the branches of trade
and business in our li mts, aud furnish employment
to large number* of our people. 1 now leave them

Foote on Democract —Gov. Foote of Missis
sippi made a speech lately at Memphis, Tenn., in
which he came down upon the Democracy with a
vim that was terrible in the extreme. Consider
ing that the Governor has been h Democrat all his
life, he ought to koow ‘‘that, wbereot he speaketh.”
For th* comfort and the private delectation us our
Democratic Iriende, we make an extract from the
Governor’s speech, as follows :
“He was a Democrat, but he contended there
was no true Democratic party now In existence.—
The organizaiion called Dtmocratie he regarded
as utterly incapable of conducting public afiairs in
an horns’, and statesmanlike manner. Iu tact, tbe
Democratic party, now in existence, iB dishonest,
corrupt and imbecile, in the extreme— confessedly
so. Bai ty organs aud party eaders openly avow
it—the Washington Stabs had repeatedly charged it
and oad exposed the peculations, frauds, and thefts
otlhe government i fficiala—even the Washington
Union, the organ of the executive has had the un
bli slang effrontery and hardihood to acknowledge
and attempt to juatily one of the most corrupt pro
cedures ever undertaken by en Anrerican Execu
tive. He referred to the laying of a per centage
ou the ea'a ies of federal officers f.r Darty purposes.
The late letter of Gov. Wise, of Virginia, (high
Democratic authority,) was referred to iu support
of his allegations. In charging corruptions upon
the Democratic party, he did nut mean to b un
derstood as saying tbe m’ jority— the mats ss—cf
the party were co rupf. He meant the leaders of
the parly—the men who pull the wires and mrn the
crank ot the political machine —the men who got
up lists of delegates to Coun'y, S ate and National
Conventions —men who hold caucuses to manufac
ture plaiforms aud candidates —th e Slidells of the
party 3 bese were the men to whom he rtftrred.
The masses of the American people, to wnatever
party they may be attached, he believed to be
honest and pa'notic, capable of self government,
aud still capeb e of rescurii.g the government from
the hands of the unscrupulous tricksters echo were
hurrying the Country onward to destruction. Tne
mas-es were boueet and incorrupt ib e ; but the or
gan zation is utterly aud irretrievab y rotten and
debased. He referred to leading men s statements
m eupport ot this aLd to the tact that in the great
city of New Yo-k among the host of Democratic
cffice-holaers there, not an honest man was to be
found.”
The European Corn Trade-Futcre Prcs
pects.— The Mark Lane iEngland) Express of the
16th ult., in some remaiks on the European corn
trade, says :
A* reepects the wheat trade, tbe downward course
of prices has given place to altered c renn stances —
the return “f warlike rumors having produced an
average rise of fuliy Is. per quaiter. But, as ihe
v etk closed with greater probabilities of peace,
there was more calm in tbe London and several
ether mai kefs In Norihern Europe tbe markets
have continued quiet; but in tne South, as in Spain,
Portugal and Sicily, prices have been firm , the
ports in tbe latter c uutry are now open to corn
free of au'y The country markets have generally
been less liberally supplied, aud it seems uni kely
that farmers who now have stocks will throw aw y
their chances of better prises. An enormous con
sumption of cattle fred has long been esnied on—
the liberal imports have been quietly going off into
consumption for mixing &ua ordinary uses
though as y>t the growing crops here, and in Eu
rope took aa favorable as can bed'sired, there- are
no re serves to fall bock upon in case of war, or any
event unpropitions to the harvest. We must not
overlook the fact that an early spring in this coun
try is tbe rev rse of a safe one. Beyond these con
siderations there are some fears for the American
crops, and ’he price of wheat at Alexandria is the
same as in Lmdon.

Since thu reception of the Niagara’* accounts on
Thursday, the war rdiners were more alarming. The
market has been at a stand—buyers and sellers were
taken aback by the unlo ked for .hreateningof war in
Europe—the previous advices having given great cond
ounce io the xnainte4.ai.eeof peace.
The accounts per Adela.de to-day seem to leave no
ground for hope of peace—aod confirm the prevail
ing indisposition to buy or sell Ootton. We have not
heard of a sale m the last tour days, and cm offer
oar readers no qiotations.
