TURKEY GETS CHILLED IN HER

Turkey’s circnlar, addressed to the
different Coarts of Europe, has been in
differently received. First of all, Eng
land, whom the Porte has recently ens
pected of lnkewarmness in her canse,
bluntly assured her that British neu
tralito could not be distnrbed ; Ger
many, Russia's silent partner, declined
to parley in the matter, unless the Czar
intimated his willingness to suffer inter
vention—Germany is represented as
really favoring mediation, but naturally
enough declines to interfere. Austria
will jealodsly defend her own interests,
bat her staod-off policy io present
events is unalterable, while Italy replies
in a friendly manner, and expresses her
self ready and willing to act in concert
with other powers in favor of mediation.
Turkey is evidently disconcerted at
the tone of these rejoinders, which
seem to point to direct treatment
with her haughty foe as her only hope,
and explains that erroneous interpreta
tions are given to her circnlar. She as
serts that she does not approach the
powers as a vanquished state, since she
still has two lines of defense, which the
Government believes she would be able
to hold. The Porte, by its circnlar, de
sires to intimate its willingness to con
sider the proposals made by the Con
stantinople conference. As the war be
gan owing to Turkey’s refusal to adhere
to those proposals the Porte thinks it
might be determined now ou that basis.
The power most affected by events grow
ing out of the Porte’s appeal is naturally
England. The peace party at the Coutt
of Ht. James predominates and the
country is evidently opposed to any
thing like nnjnst or mnecessary inter
ference in a struggle which may not
benefit her and may bring an avalanche
of trouble upon the Kingdom. The
proximity, however, of British posses
sions to the victorious army and its field
on conquest,(arouses something more
than a polite negative to the Ottoman
conciliatory aptieal. England is in
terested in the Eastern struggle exactly
to the extent that her |interests are en
dangered,* and the same cause which
Turkey fia'ttered herself would draw that
power into the war before Osmanli’s
standards had been retired to the bat
tlements of Adrianople and ’Btamboul,
is now thrown in the way to prevent the
Porte effecting an advantag6ons peace.
The opening of the Dardanelles and
neutralization of the Danube, for in
stance, which Turkey may be will
ing at this juncture to couoede,
are strenuously opposed by English
statesmen. The British polioy has not
been fully decided upon, but the uncer
tainty prevailing iu tho London Cabi
net, while occasioning uneasiness in the
Unitod Kingdom and to Europe general
ly, is not such to lay any flattering unc
tion to the Moslem soul. The trouble
in the Ministry arises from the personal
polioy of Lord Beaconsfield through
whoso influence Parliament itas been
summoned for the consideration of for
eign relations, three weeks earlier than
the regular time of convocation. Bea
consficld does not. relish the idea of
leaving the settlement of Eastern com
plications entirely to Russia and Tur
key. The all-controlling element of
British interest inserts its inviolable fig
ure into the very mention of mediation,
and England must forsooth, “be in at
the death.” In this policy he is opposed
by his colleagues of the Cabinet, who
fear that his antagonism to the single
handed peace may precipitate war with
Russia. Whatever may be these inter
nal differences, however, prominent pro
vincial journals assert that England
stands in no danger of war, and the ear
ly assembling of Parliament which ap
pears to Europe to beau unreasonable
precipitancy, may operate to render
British neutrality more stable, or at least
render her policy more deoided. In the
event that England may advise Turkey
to treat directly with the Czar, as rumor
says has been done, it is not supposed
that the Porte will pay much attention
to her, but will probably utilize her
every resource -owards
Strengthening Koniiiellu.
This idea gains credence from the fact
that Huliemau Pasha, who has jnst ar
rived at Constantinople from Varna,
will go to Adrianople to assume com
mand of tho Roumeli&n army at that
place. The withdrawal of tho troops
from the garrisoned quadrilateral shows
that the Balkan transit will be easily
made by the Russians ns soon as the
Winter breaks up. Todleben has been
appointed Commander-in-Chief of tho
Gzarewiteh’s army, ,110 having retired
to St. Petersburg, and the first step to
wards the Balkan passage is being made
iD the siege of Rustehuck. It will take
some time before operations on a large
scale will be possible, although the
movement of troops from Plevna in vari
ious directions has begun. Some days
must pass before the influence iu the
front is felt.
Threatening movements npon Erze
roum were made during the first part of
the week, but the effort ha# miscarried,
and the deepening Winter weather has
left the Russian force in a state rather
deplorable.

The French Miuistry is gliding smooth
ly along. The Marshal seems to be per
fectly harmonized and the oomplexion
of the Government is rapidly taking a
popular Republican hue. A general
amnesty is about to be effected and old
sores are rapidly healing up. The
Minister of Foreign Affairs, at a rooep
tiou the other day, of the officials of the
foreign dupartnu nts, addressed them to
the effect that the Republican regime
was now claimed to be definitely estab
lished, aud if this wbr distasteful to any
of them they would do well to seek an
other career. From this it would seem
that the majority are in undisputed
sway.
An embroglio still progresses in the

ANOTHER BOSTON BOY.
Jesse Pumeroy Barpaased by Henry Acker*
—lie .Harder* a Bey Lee* Thee Three
1 ear* Old.
Boston, Mass , December 19. — Anoth
er Jesse Pomeroy has made his appear
ance in this city, although his crimes
are not as extensive as those of the orig
inal “boy fiend,” as he is familiarly
known. This afternoon about three
o’clock, as Mary CroDin, aged six, and
her little brother John, a child two
years and eight months of age, were de
scending a staircase in their futher’s
honso on Lennox street, they were met
by Henry Ackers, a lad of between
twelve and fourteen years old, who also
lived in the house. Ackers said to the
little girl, “I’m going to shoot one of
you.” Mary replied, “I guess you won’t
shoot me nor my little brother either.”
Upon this young Ackers pulled out a re
volver, took a cartridge out of his pock
et, inserted it in one of the chambers of
the revolver, pulled back the hammer,
and took aim. The little fellow moved
to go down stairs when the youthful as
sassin fired and shot the child, who liv
ed but an hour afterward. Young Ack
ers immediately fled, and has, up to
midnight, eluded the pursuit of the of
ficers. The police here have given the
impression that the shooting was acci
dental, bnt the little girl, who was the
only witness of the affair, tells her story
in a clear and forcible manner. She
also states that the boy has freqnently
threatened to shoot her brother, al
though no canse was assigned for the
purpose. The families have been living
on friendly terms, and no reason can be
assigned for the murder except the love
of wickedness, which was the ruling
passion of young Pomeroy.

NOURISHING BLOOD.
The Wood imparts to tho body the
elements which are essential to its ex
istence. When theso are insufficiently
supplied, its energies begin to flag,
there is a loss of flesh, the muscles grow
flaccid, the reflective powers lose vigor
—every function is disturbed, every or
gan weakened. Under these circum
stances, it iR obvious that the constitu
tion must soon give way unless the vital
fluid is enriched. To accomplish this
object, reoourse should be had without
delay to that grand fertilizer of the
blood, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters,
which promotes assimulation of the
food and is the means of rendering the
oireulation rich and active. The good
effects of the great tonic are speedily
apparent in a gain of bodily vigor anil
mental energy. A regular action of the
various organs also results from its use,
the good work of bodily reform goeH

Oewnl Remark*.
Business this week has been very brisk. The
streets, especially for the last three days, have
been thronged with people from home and
abroad, from city and country, purchasing
holiday goods and seasonable articles. Every
branch of trade has felt a renewed impetus
and a Christmas-like* activity is everywhere
noticeab e. A gratifying symptom of the
week has been the presence of luge numbers
of country wagons on the streots, bringing in
cotton and carrying oat various and sundry
articles in return. The nature of thii holiday
trade, however, deceives no oue. It has
throbbed actively along for the past two weeks
and to-day will probably see it at its maximum
Our merchants do not look for any continned
revival after the holidays, and everything will
relapse into its quiet, accustomed channel.
TYade is mainly retail in character at present,
but we are glad to say that such as it is, is
very good. The outlook is unpromising. The
deficiency of the cotton crop leaves the
average fanner in a bad way. Many of them
have been nnable to square up this years’ ac
counts and many fioe managers, who have al
ways worked independently of their factors and
grocery merchants, at least until July, are even
now trying to arrange for snpphes for the
coming seaeon. This see ns to be the case
generally in counties contiguous to Bichmond,
and in the country trading mainly with Au
gusta.
Financial Market.
Banking business is unchanged from last
week. Every one seemß to be renewing notes,
and;no new money appears to be coming in from
cotton Bales. The market shows a contracting
tendency, discounts remaining firm at 12 per
cent. Exchange still sells at from }to J and
| to par. There has been considerable stir iu
the stock and bond markets. The new City of
Augusta bonds recently placed upon the mar
ket make’ all classes of Augnsta bonds firm.
The decision of the Supreme Court upon the
Borne bonds has also given a firmer feeling to
Savannah bonds, and these securities are
sought after at low prices. The proposition of
the Georgia Eailroad and Banking Company to
the Tort Boyal Baiiroad guaranteed bond
holders, while meeting with considerable op
position, is being accepted by many ; the
Georgia Bailroai Company having taken up
fifty thousand dollars worth up to this time.
We quote Central Baiiroad stock, ex-diridend,
dull at from 49 to 60. Georgia Baiiroad stock
firm, 05 bid and 07 asked. Oue offer was made
yesterday for one hundred shares at 65. There
is a good demand for Georgia 6 per cent bondß
at fu’l prices. In fact, there has been good
inquiry all around for first class securities.
Cotton Make!.
The tono of the market yesterday was quiet
aud steady, closing with middling 10}; a quiet
tone has indeed been preserved all the week.
A rise of prices is evidently expeoted after
Christmas, judging from the stock now on
hand. Notwithstanding, receipts are 35,467
bales short of last year, the Bteck is in excess
of this date ’76, about 3,800 bales. Last week
the difference in receipts was 85,829, showing
a marked improvement this week; week before
last the difference was 34,086 bales, and
week before, 30,288.
The Provision Market
Is generally the same as last week in prices,
but with a perceptible buoyanoy in separate
channels. The country trade has greatly in
creased, and local orders are fuller and more
elaborate. Sweet-meats and delioacies are
dealt in liberally, although the sultry weather
greatly interferes with the dressed poultry
business, always au important element in
the holiday markels; there was none
on the market yesterday. Movements in
breadstuffs are somowhat livelier, demands
for city flours being increased for the week.
The millers, however, aro not sanguine at the
s< asoh's outlook The freight discriminations
against Augusta, which had been iu a measure
alloviated. woro turned back into the same
crooked by-paths by the action of the Green
Lino Executive Committee receutly held in
Augusta. Business was beginniug to assume
a more cheorful aspect in the face of efforts to
raise thiH transportation iucubus from Augus
ta, but this last stroke is calculated to dis
courage our millers and merchants generally.
It has beeu agitatod for some days, and, in
fact, a meeting is to be held to-day to facilitate
direct trade between Southern cities and Onba
iu tlte export of provincial staples. The con
nection is to ha established by a line of
steamers to be run by the Central Road from
Savannah to Cuba. Could Western and North
ern grain be stopped here and ground, for in
stance, Augusta might build up an export busi
ness in this line; and tlte same is true in other
departments of business. It is on accouut of
this discrimination that our millers cannot
compete with Nashville and other Southern
cities in buying grain and exporting flour.
Miscellaneous Notes.
There iB a marked improvement in the hard
ware markets, trade in the staple articles con
tinuing very good indeed. The dry goods
trade continues veiy fine, but the
holiday trade even, is thought to be lighter
than last year. Iu department of notions,
siks, etc., business continues very good. Au
gusta manufactured goods continue very firm
indeed witti prices unchanged. Tlte demand
for Augusta Factory goods and other favorite
brands remain excellent. The drug and li
quor trades are very good.

somewhat irregnlar in most instances have
declined. American was freely offered and

fair demand at generally steady prices.

been prassed for tile, and although a very
large business was done prices this (Thursday)
morning showed a decline of about 7 on
