Yesterday morning, at an early hoar, the body of a white man was discovered in the little cemetery beyond Shnltz’s Hill, sbont a mile from Hamburg. It was stiff and cold, and life had evidently been extinct for many hours. A donble barrel gnn close by and the bloody and mutilated head of the deceased told silently bnt unmistakably how be bad met his death. Trial Justice Balter, acting coroner, was notified of the dis covery, and proceeded to hold an in quest. The investigstion developed the following facte: The position of the gnn and the msn showed that the mis guided being had gone deliberately to work to accomplish his purpose. He first cut a forked stick and adjusted it on the triggers of his gnn, bo that be conld, by standing up, place the muz zle of the weapon, whioh was Dear ly five feet long, close to his head, and discharge the barrels by touching the stick with one of his feet. The design was well planned, and it succeeded. The charge struck the sui cide just above the left eye and tore a part of his head off, so that a large por tion of his brains dropped ont and fell into his lap. When found be had sank into a crouching position, with his head —a ghastly object—slightly bent for ward. On the page of a small memorandum hook he had written the following words with a pencil: “Incnrable sickness, asthma, brought me to thn. I beg for funeral; for this I have in pocket sl9 and a watch and chain.” No name was signed to this, and there was nothing abont him to indicate who he was or where he came from. Two red silk handkerchiefs in one of his pock ets had the initials “G. B.” worked in white silk in one corner of each. The nineteen dollars mentioned in the note were fonnd on his person, and also the watch and the chain, the former silver and the latter gold, apparently. Among some miscellaneous papers was the photograph of a little child. The body was neatly dressed in a black snit and a fine silk cravat was abont the neck. The man seemed to be about thirty years of age, with dark brown hair and a moustache of a lighter shade, face clean shaven (with this ex ception). His bieght was probably five feet eight or uiue inches. The coroner’s jury, after brief deliberation, returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased came to his death by his own hand. The body was placid in a neat coffin aud carried to the old Coun> il Chamber in Hamburg, where it will remain until ten o’clock this morning. If no one claims it by that time it will be interred in Schultz's Hill Cemetery. A man answering to the description of the deceased was seen to cross the bridge over the .Savannah river Wednes day afternoon, with a gnn on his shoulder.

At the meeting of the Board of Direc tors of the Georgia Railroad, on the 11th inst, the question of negotiating and arranging for the settlement of the bonds of the Port Royal Railroad Company, endorsed by the Georgia Railroad and Ranking Company, was referred to the members of the Board resident in Au gusta, with power to act.

Mrs. Bennett was a medium highly esteemed by the Spiritualists of Boston. Her seances were made interesting by the appearance of apparitions, in great numbers and variety. She long with stood the tests of investigators. How ever, she was caught a few evenings ago. Prescott Robinson, a firm believer in Spiritualism, trapped her neatly and succeesfnlly. She promised that in a certain seance his dead daughter should appear, and he had his friends there in readiness. A form purporting to be that of bis child emerged from the cab inet in the dim light, aud handed a flower to him. He pretended to recog nize her, patted her on the head, and then suddenly seised her in a firm grip. One of his friends turned np the gas, and all saw that the “child” was a wo men walking on her knees. A general fight ensued, the personaters of spirits trying to rescue the women, and the captnrere trying to keep her a prisoner. She escaped, bat not until the humbug bad been thoroughly exposed. Another “spirit” ran out of the honse, scantily attired, carrying most of her clothing in her arms.

Daman Pasha Harreadera Plevna la the Has ■daas—Desperate Sortie Before Arms Were tiroaaded—The Vletery aad the Hpalls— England Wishes to Mediate—MaeMmhen Abandons His Cnhlaet—France Controlled by the Will ef the Majority. This week’s movements abroad have been marked by decisive events. When onr last foreign summary was made up Plevna, the impregnable, filled with suf fering warriors and surrounded by a de termined foe, loomed np apparently in tact in the Eastern struggle. In Ver sailles, a haughty Marshal frowned upon an uncompromising Chamber of Depu ties, and an impotent Cabinet, who were cringing at the feet of their master, seemed destined to follow the sterile ca reers of their lackless predecessors. In seven days the aspect changes. Crises have been met and two great agitations have been partly alleviated; the one well nigh decided ; the other satisfactorily shifted. On Monday morning, December 10th, at an early hour, Osman Pasha, commanding Plevna, convinced that his case was hopeless, determined to bring his part of the campaign to a focus. Dis appointed at his inability to receive suc cor from abroad, and despairing of bis ability to preserve vitality within, he emerged the siege into a sortie, and af ter five hoars desperate fighting, was captured with bis fortresses and army. It appears that the Russians had inti mation some days in advance as to the drift of affairs, and doubtless strength ened their lines aronnd the trembling prize. Notwithstanding this, however, Osman crossed the Vid by two bridges and attacked the Russian position with sneb fury that they captured eight can non, and in a few minntee almost anni hilated a whole regiment of grenadiers. The Turk, then found themselves under the fire of one hundred cannon, and were attacked in turn by the grenadiers, who resolved to recapture their gnus.“ The Turks were driven back after a fifteen minntea bayonet fight, bnt continued to fire from a shelter of the banks of the Vid until 12:15, when firing ceased on both sides, and a qnarter of an hour afterwards Osman sent an envoy to treat for surrender. Subsequently it was an nounced that the surrender was uncon ditional. This intelligence, of course, rapidly spread, and was received in Russia with great joy, pub lic demonstrations taking place in the large cities in honor of the Royal Fam ily. It was supposed that Osman Bar rendered about forty thousand prison ers, although it has since transpired that only 27,000 men constituted his fighting force. Abont sixty cannon and many hundred wagons were among the trophies. There were three weeks’ pro visions still on hand, and ten days' ra tions for the army in his transport train. The immediate cause of his aban doning his intrencbmentß was the break ing out of an epidemic among the troops. There were forty or fifty dead bodies a day in Plevna. There were no men available to bury them, and the mortal ity was increasing. Eight hundred sick and woimded are in the hospitals. Like Kars, however, the importance of this victory is not ganged by the amount of booty captured or the number of sol diers captured. As Kars was the eye of Asia Minor, so Plevna was the key of Armenia, and its possession by the Czar opens the passes of Orchanie and Eleua, through the Balkans, to Adrianople and the fertile valleys around and abont. This blow has evidently disconcerted England, as she seems inclined to urge negotiations at the preseut juncture; but the animus of the Porte points to a bloody resistance to the end. The War Party, in fact, is believed to have largely the ascendancy in Constantinople. The Turkish Par liament has just been opened and was calmly addressed by the Sal tan, who, after re-affirmiDg the de claration of the Constitution that all classes of subjects are free and equal under the Turkish Government, asserts that Christian subjects should be willing to bear the burdens of war as they enjoy the benefits of peace. It is stated also that two Christians have been appointed Governors of Provinces. These gracious aots, however, will have uo influence with the invading foe, who wish to secure possessions as well as to ameliorate certain Turkish subjects. The next important step in the Russian campaign will be in Asia Minor, where the mounting of Krupp guns against the walls of Erzeroum augurs the early fall of this famous fortress. The Yell Kent in Tyranny’s Temple. The week opened in Franoe gloomily enough. The Bonapartists seemed de termined to back up the Marshal in his extreme measures, and M. Batbie, to whom had been intrusted the task of forming anew Cabinet, was as far from a satisfactory completion of his t isk as over. The Marshal appeared imbedded iu his violent polioy and declared that he would resign rather than reopen ne gotiations with DuFaure. He still be lieved that he had the support of a ma jority of the Senate. On Thursday, howover, a deputation from the Boua partists interviewed the President and declared that they oould no longer sup port his policy. How much this influ enced subsequent evonts the reader may judge by reading the following state ments from our cablo dispatches : ‘‘The Batbie Cabinet was intended to tempor ize until the end of the year and then Srooeed to a blebiscite or dissolution. I. Pouher Qnertier, in the presence of President Mahon and Cabinet, violently inveighed against such a coarse. The President, upon becoming fully aware that it was illegal, severely condemned the advisers who piompted him to it. He wrote ont his resignation and de olared he would never see the Duke De Broglie again. Those present, however, persuaded him to re-opeu negotiatious with M. DuFaure. President MacMa hon granted M. DuFanre fall liberty in the choice of his colleagues. ” It ap pears like a square baok down for the Marshal, but it was certainly a prudent, if not a patriotic surrender. This ter mination of the affair has given general satisfaction, and the manly, conediatory tone of MaoMahon’s message to the Chamber leaves no oanse for alarm in the Budget will he immediately voted.

Trade this week has been better than for several weeks past. Onr stores are the scenes of increased activity and onr streets are filled with wagons from the country aad bayers generally from abroad. The commercial por tion of the city has put on a more active ap pearance and U evidently preparing to don its holiday garb. Business is brisker and the approach of Christmas seems to give the customary impulse to seasonable goods. Con trasted, therefore, with the pas’, few weeks, we can give a more encouraging review this morning, bnt onr trade does not compere with last year’s in any particular. From the veiy commencement of the busy month it was evi dent that Augusta would be disappointed in this year’s operations. From the effects of s bad season onr daily market reports have mirrowed unprecedented fallings off in ootton receipts, and to-day with three and a half months of the season gone, the discrepancy seems to be alarmingly increasing. Indepen dent of local or temporary ’ causes militating against onr prosperity, the fact is daily be coming more apparent that the ootton crop of the State and of the Sonth has gieatly decreased from last year’s produc tion. Picking even in the most backward States will cease abont the 25th instant, and the National Exchange report recently tele graphed the Chronicle and Constitutional ist proves clearly that the per ceutage in the South is largely in arrears of past years. With out the great fleecy vivifier, we can do noth ing. aud its absence is felt in every channel of trade. To ehow that we are not alone affected by ajdrag in business, one has only to read from the New Y'ork Financial Chronicle of last week: “For the week ending December 7, the total receipts have reached 174.365 bales, against 172.216 bales last week, 200,950 bales the pre vious week, and 194,571 bales three weeks since, making the total receipts since the first of September. 1877, 1,672,882 bales, against 2,031.398 bales for the same period of 1876, showing a decrease, since September 1, 1877, of 357.516 bales.” It is no wonder, then, that in summarizing our local business for this week, we are com pelled to admit that the present revival is more apparent than real ; and that the notice able activity obtains in retail establiahments and fancy wares rather than in onr wholesale emporiums and staple articles. The toy shops and variety stores are reaping their nsual and well earned harvests; the dry goods men are not overlooked in the daily bazaars, nor do the grocery men suffer from a scarce demand of the substantials and delicacies of the day; or ders, however, are mostly from the city and immediate neighborhood, country business be ing nnnsnally small, Financial Market. During the first part of the week Georgia Railroad stock was sold at 67), bnt there haTe been no sales reported since the Board of Di rectors passed the dividend. Central Railroad stock has been sold at 51, and the dividend de clared on Tuesday, of $2 50 per share has as yet wrought no change in the market. There is quite a retail demand for city of Augusta bonds, but large sales are difficult to make. Holders of Port Royal endorsed bands are in clined to feel more confident since the actios of the Board of Directors of the Georgia Rail road. State bonds are in demand, both 6’a and 7’s, but the amount on the market is quite limited. Holders of Savannah bonds have reaped no comfort from recent negotiations. Money still continues tolerably scarce, at ten per cent, on good collaterals, although the market has been somewhat firmer this week, owing to an increase of town deposits, ena bling the banks to extend more accommoda tion. Exchange has been offering freely, buy ing at one-quarter to three-eighths discount and selling at from par to one-eighth dis count. Cotton Market. The tone during the past woek has been steady. Receipts since September amount to 94,214; last year, 180,043, showing a difference of 85,829 bales. Last week this difference was only 34,( 86 bales, and week before, 30,288. — Guano debts are generally well paid up, bnt comparatively little surplus crop has been re ceived here, not enough, in fact, to buoy the money market so as to lighten exoliange for merchants payiog Northern debts. Produce Markets. in this line there is very little change. Ba con is exceedingly low, bnt a rebound is confi dently looked for, as moats have about touch ed bottom. Flour is somewhat easier, al though there is but little better demand, and we can mark uo material change. Orders from the country are coming in somewhat brisker, but our city mills fail to report much improve ment, as local buyers supply only immediate wants. The Bharp advance in the West has not affected this market. Grain receipts of all kinds are small, wheat being dull and depress ed, as local millers are buying sparingly. New corn is better at 72, no old being upon the mar ket. In this line, at least, there lias been less business done this season than for many years past. Coffee is quiet, sugar unchanged, ditto molasses. In the retail provision market, business is very good. Eggs and butter are advancing for the holidays, tho dressed poul try trade crowding live birds from the market. Liquors are in good demand, with prices un changed. Temporary fluctuations are con stantly occurring here, but thebe do not great ly influence the market. Trade In hardware is better than for some weeks past. Dry goods tire active, holidays and pretty wither bring ing out purchasers of this line of g;gpds. The wholesale trade is also reported brisk. v Mtate and Cltr Bends.
