She was bnilt by Harlan &, Hollingsworth, of
Wilmington, DeL, in 1856. In 1862, com
munication by sea between this city and
Florida being cut off, the St Mary’s was
sunk just above Jacksonville, to prevent her
from falling into the hands of the Federate.
Afterwards she was purchased by the Confed
erate government and raised irom the bot
tom of the river. Her upper works were
taken off, but before she was ready to run the
blockade of the St John’s river,.that portion
of Florida was occupied by the Northern
army, and the St Mary’s was again sunk in

Tuesday.—There was some inquiry to-day, and a
few sales made at yesterday’s prices, but later in the
day Liverpool showing a decline of % with sales of
8,000 bales, caused prices to soften and buyers with
drawing. Market closed quiet with middling at 23c.
Sales, 698 bales.
Wednesday.—To-day the inquiry has been good;

being favorable caused much more firmness than was
shown yesterday. Market closed quiet but firm with
middling 23J£c. Sales, 1,124 bales.

Buyers and sellers differed somewhat in tneir views in

Sea Island.—There has been a very limited inquiry
the past week for Florida’s and principally confined

been restricted on account of the firmness of holders.
The sales that have been effected were upon the fol

At that
time hut few shares of stock in the proposed
company were taken, bnt afterwards a strong
movement was made by merchants to secure
the boat, and they have been successful.
The steamer is one hundred and sixty-five
feet in length, by twenty-six feet beam, and
eight feet depth of hold. She has two in
clined engines of eight feet stroke, and thirty-
inch cylinders. She has been fitted up in
magnificent and luxurious style, and is now
owned and controlled by the Savannah and
Florida Steam Packet Company, of which
Col. A. H. Cole is President. Her upper sa
loon is splendidly furnished, and is one hun
dred and two feet long. She has also a lower
or dining saloon, and is provided with every
accommodation necessary for a first-class
steamer. Her state-rooms are twenty-six in
number, and are very conveniently and com
fortably arranged. Messrs. Harlan & Hol
lingsworth have put some of their best work
npon toe steamer, and she does credit to their
already famous establishment
The boat will be officered as follows: Capt
Nick King will be Executive officer. He is a
gentlemen of well-known ability as a seaman,
and the pioneer of steam navigation in Flor
ida waters. Under such excellent charge she
cannot but be successful. Mr. Harry Jones
is Mate of the vessel, Mr. Joseph H. Willink,
Engineer, and George Caldwell, Assistant
Engineer.
The Nick King was purchased by toe mer
chants of Savannah and Florida, fi r the trade
between the two points, and there is no prob
ability of her ever leaving this section, so
lung as she is supported by the traveling
public, which she must necessarily be, from
her superior accommodations. She will have
the patronage of, and prove a great conve
nience to the business houses of Savannah,
and, under her able and experienced com
mander deserves the success she is bound to
achieve.

The Tax Ordinance.—After holding several
private meetings to consider toe tax ordi
nance for toe year 1869, the City Council has
at last completed its work, and toe ordinance
has been published for information. We no
tice very little change in it, except that whis
key dealers and dogs are more favored than
heretofore. The liquor licenses are reduced
to one hundred and fifty dollars for retail
dealers, and one hundred and twenty-five
dollars for wholesale dealers. The tax upon
dogs is reduced to one dollar and a half. On
real estate the tax is fixed at one and three-
fourths per centum per annum, according to
toe valuation for 1869. A strong effort was
made by the owners of steamship lines to
have the tax on freight and passage money
removed, but we notice that the ordinance
provides that, for the improvement of toe
Savannah liver, there shall be a tax of one-
half of one per centum on all freight and
passage money collected or received, by any
agent, captain or purser of steamboat or ves
sel. The Mayor’s salary is increased to
$3,000 per annum, while those of other city
officers remain at the same figures as hereto
fore.
We notiqe a section of the ordinance which
is in direct conflict with the State law, passed
by the Legislature of 1868, and regularly ap
proved. The Legislature levied a Slate tax

rriHESE POWERFUL, ACCURATE AND W02SDER-
“No assessment sliall be made for county
or city corporation purposes on the specific
tax herein imposed upon practitioners of law,
physic and dentistry.”
This ordinance provides for a tax of twen
ty-five dollars npon lawyers, doctors and den
tists. It is clearly in conflict with the State
law, and, therefore, null and void.
So far as we notice in a hasty glance over
toe new ordinance, other taxes generally re
main the same as heretofore. The ordinance
will he presented for a first reading before
council on Wednesday night next.
-This invention is a
declaration of industrial independence. It
is an act of emancipation. It relieves women
from the severest and most unrelenting toil,
and leaves their time free for intellectual and
social enjoyments. In the present impov
erished condition of our oonntry, it is the
duty of all to encourage every machine which
reduces the labors of the household. It is
toe first duty of toe husband to spare his affec
tionate helpmate all toe care and toil possi
ble. In every marriage contract should be
pnt a condition that the wife should al
ways be provided with the newest improve
ment in the sewing machines. In applica
tion for divorce, when the .wife has alleged
sufficient moral aberration to justify a decree
of separation, it should be snperadded to
stimulate a gentle and just indignation on
the part of the judge that he had wholly
failed to furnish the complainant with a sew
ing machine. Let all husbands therefore
visit at once toe Southern Agency of Wilcox
as it deserves, it being devoted to practical ag
riculture. Mr. Jones will return to Savannah
in a few days.
