AUGUSTA, GkA.~
SATI HDAY IWORN’G, OCT. 2T, 1860.
Col. L. T. Doyal, the gallant Bell and Evbe
ett Elector for the Third District, having finished
the canvass in that district, and having received tt
seal to hU ministry by the election in Spalding
last week, makes the following appointments for
other portions of the State. Let the people go
to hear him:
Trenton, , Oct
Tunnei Hill, , Oct. “ ; 11";;;
Appointments by Hon. B. H. Hill.
Mr. Hill will address the people of Albany and
surrbundmg country, on the political issues of the
day and on the urgent necessity of a Fusion of
all the Electoral Tickets, at Albany on Thursday
November Ist; and the people of Dalton and sur
rounding country, at Dalton, on Saturday, Novem
ber 3d. The people have only to hear to be con
vinced.
We are daily under obligations to the Adams
Express Company for favors in the way of New
Orleans and Memphis papers, the former twenty
four hours in advance of the mail.
River News.— The steamer John A. Moore is
now under going renovation and general “fixing
up,” and will soon resume her regnlar trips be
tween Augusta and Savannah.
The river marked 4 feet at the bridge at six
o clock P. M. yesterday. No arrivals since our
last report.
. enator Douglas* at Macon.— We are requested
to state that persons desirous of hearing Docg
uas speech at Macon, on Wednesday next, will
be passed over the Augusta & Savannah and
Central Railroads for half fare—full fare going
and free passage on their re'.urn.
The Draytons. —We learn from Manager Flem
ing, that in consequence of the illness of Mrs.
Drayton, she will be unable to appear in Augusta
until Wednesday, the 31st inst. Whether this
postponement limits their stay in this city to three
nights only, we are not advised. W T e hope not.

Lessons on the Piano Forte.— Attention is in
vited to the card of Miss Fannie A. Brown, in
another column. Her qualifications for giving
instruction upon the Piano are of the very best,
and those wishing to acquire a thorough practical
knowledge of this fine instrument, will do well
to secure her services as Teacher.
Love at 111* Trick*.
Prof. Love has been quite successful in his per
formafi€es_thus far, givmg the highest satisfaction
to large audiefiifffiS- His magical feats excite the
wonder .of all A pleasant feature of
his entertainments is the efficient orchestra, which
“fills in” admirably, and serves to make the time
occupied in preparation for his legerdemain pass
off without weariness. En passant, we would Sag
gest more promptness in the opening, and that as
little delay as possible occur between each part.
The matinee this afternoon, will draw out a
crowd of juveniles, who can be sure of a rich
treat. The magician’s world is to them a world of
enchantment, and the Arabian Nights Entertain
ments is their text-book. Anything approaching
the wonderful mysteries which throw a brilliant
halo around the dajs of “the good Haroun Alras
cbid,” has an unspeakable charm for the young.
Golden days of childhood !—days of large faith
and innocent credulity!—when Aladdin was be
lieved to be a veritable personage, and all those
genii, fairies, gnomes, sprites, stc., were real crea
tions, and not coined out of the poet’s brain!
Don’t shut the children entirely from the shadowy
realms of the imagination, but give the teeming
fancy full scope. Let them go and see Love, the
necromancer.
To-night closes Love’s engagement in this city,
and we expect he will be greeted by a lull house.
Firemen’* Parade To-Day.
The £ight-seers in town are on the qui vice to
witness the semi-annual parade of our Firemen,
which take* place this afternoon. We anticipate
a fine display—find we do not expect to be dis
appointed. If any city of equal size in the land
can produce a more efficient Fire Department—a
more stalwart, energetic body of men, devoted to
a noble cause—than the Augusta Firemen, we
should like to have them pointed out.
The exercises to-day will be interesting. The
City Council at its last regular meeting, voted to
present two prizes—one for first class, and the
other for second class engines—which will be
played fur. It is probable all our fire companies
will be represented, as well as the Hamburg Fire
Company. The Augusta Brass Band is engaged,
and will give us their inspiriting notes on the
occasion.
The following programmes of the day’s doings,
which we find in the Constitutionalist, will be of
interest :
AUGUSTA FIRE COMPANY.
The following arrangements, for the parade of
the Augusta Fire Company on the 27th of October,
were made at a meeting of the officers of the

Additional by the City of Washington,
*We lnd the following dispatch of the news by
the City of W ashington in the New York papers.
It is somewhat more detailed than that received
direct by telegraph:
A bloody engagement had been fought between
the Garibaldians and Neapolitans in Voltura, of
which the details are published. The Garibaldians
were successful, but at the expense of 1,200 men
placed hors du combat. The Nerpolitan loss is
estimated at 2,000 killed and wounded, besides
5,000 prisoners. They also had severe losses in
guns, ammunition and stores, and were compelled
to reireatin great disorder on Capua.
The battle was hotly contested, and lasted seve
ral hours.
The army of Sardinia had entered Neapolitan
territory, but had no engagements except some
skirmishes with detachments. Some detach
ments of it were present at Voltura, and aided
the Garibaldians to defeat the Neapolitan army.
Mazzini had left Naples.
There was no new movement in the Fapal
States.
The Jura arrived out on the 9th inst.
It is estimated that the number of Neapolitans
who were engaged was 30,000. They attacked the
Garibaldians during the prevalence of a thick
mist, and carried some positions, driving back
their antagonists, whose number was less than
half of theirs. Garibaldi himself then went for
ward, revolver in hand, and after a desperate fight
of eight hours the Neapolitans were routed. The
Gorman (Irish) Brigade was cut off, and retreated
to the mountains. The Royalists made a sortie to
their rescue, but were repulsed.
1 he King of Naples and his brother were pre
sent at the fight.
The line of the Voltura is still strongly protect
ed, and the Neapolitans are prepared to defend
their positions.
Garibaldi had called on Victor Emanuel to send
him 14,000 men immediately.
It is reported that the Great Powers have pro
tested against the Piedmontese army entering
Neapolitan territory.
From China. —We receive bv wav of California,
some interesting news from China. The Ameri
cans at Shanghai complain that their interests are
not properly looked after. It is reported that the
Hartford, flying the flag of Com. {Stripling, had
visited Shanghai, but bad left port without offer
ing protection to American citizens and property.
Unreliable rumors were current in Hong Kong th'at
the allies had met with reverses on the Pei-ho.
The Ist of August was the day fixed for the at
tack upon the Taku torts. There was considera
ble jealousy between the French and English
troops, and a general feeling pervaded English
society in China that the alliance was incongruous
snd embarrassing.
Gale at Buenos Ayres. —A terrible gale visited
Buenos Ayres on the 20th of August. The lower
part of the town was submerged, and anew fort
washed away by the sea. The British barks Cru
sader and Reciprocity were in contact, aud sunk
each other in the outer roads. The captain and
mate of the Crusader were drowned, and part of
the crew of each vessel, eleven in number, lost.
The British barks Margaret and Jane, Roxana
Cullodea, and British brig Jane Hudson, all went
ashore.
A Clever Thief. —A lady was praying in a
church at Beville, France, when she suddenly felt
a twitch at her dress, but on looking round the
only person near was a female, with her hands
clasped across her breast in an attitude of devo
tion. Presently, finding that some of her jewelry
had been stolen, she gave the alarm, when it was
found that the devout lady was the thief, and that
the crossed arms were merely wax work.
Earthquake. —On last Monday morning about
five o’clock a low rumbling noise, which lasted
about one half minute, is said to have been heard
by mauy of our citizens. It was immediately fol
lowed by a rocking of the earth from east to
west. The shock was not violent, but was sensi
bly felt by those of our citizens who appear to
have been awake at the time. — Abbeville (S. C.)
Banner 24 th.
A s Old Woman. —The St. Augustine (Fla.) Ex
2.nsiuer mentions the discovery, by the census mar
shal of that district, of a negress named Caroline
Leslie, who ssvs she is 125 years of age. She was
born in Georgia, at Silver Bluff; has a distinct
recollection of the war of the Revolution, and re
members the siege of Savannah, in 1778, when
that city was taken by the British. She is the
slave of her own son, who is a free negro.
Racing in San Francisco. —l he following
the Alta Californian, would seem to indicate that
San Francisco is not improving very rapidly in
morality : The Roman chariot race, over the Pio
neer course, was a curious attraction, and drew
crowds. The drivers were Misses Hortense, Ste
venson and Annette Baker, who drove three heats
around the course at full gallop. They were
dressed in Roman tunics, with not a superfluity
of drapery, the trappings of the horses,
(double teams) were in imitation of ancient re
galia, such as is seen in the antique paintings.
The first heat was made in 2 minutes 10 seconds ;
the second in 2 minutes 25 seconds; the third in
2 minutes 34 seconds—the two competitors com
ing in very nearly side by side ; but Miss Steven
son taking the prize, which was a diamond cross
from Tucker’s jewelry store. The crowd cheered
tremendously, bets ran high, and there was an
exciting time generally. The driving was remar
kable for its daring and rapidity.
Suicides in Japan. —A religious custom is often
spoken of by writers upon Japan, and that is the
self-sacrifice of the more enthusiastic priests in
their desire to inherit more quickly the blessings
of the future state. The neighborhood of the
great religious College of Conay is especially men
tioned as the scene of these suicides. This Col
lege of Conay appears to be close to the ancient
city of Serunga, about half way between Jeddo
and Osaca. It was visited in 1849 by a Dutch
Embassy, who say hither repair all the learned of
Japan to dispute in theology and philosopy, and
they appear to have witnessed some of these sui
cidal attempts to reach Paradise. The enthusi
asts usually announced their intention of proceed
ing to the other world on a given day, and ex
pressed a willingness to undertake any commis
sion for departed friends or relatives.
They carefully noted down all such messages in
books carried for the purpose, they loaded their
wallets with alms, and armed themselves with a
sharp scythe to clear the road of the many thorns
and briars said to impede the paths of Paradise.
Thus equipped, the poor creatures would embark
on a deep lake in a small canoe ; paddling eut a
distance they attached heavy weights to their
bodies and sprang into the water, whilst their ad
miring fraternity calmly regarded them as men
much to be envied, and took care that the canoe
should be burnt with fire, as a vessel too sacred
to be ever defiled by being applied to less noble
pnrpoaes.
The Richmond Dispatch. —The 19th of October
was the tenth anniversary of the establishment of
the Richmond Dispatch, one of the best conducted
and most energetic penny papers in the country.
The Dispatch, tn commenting on its success, says
its history “is one of the most remarkable of
tLe times.” Published as it is in possibly a tenth
rate city, and amidst a slaveholding population, it
has attained a degree of prosperity which one
could hardly have supposed possible save in a
dense Northern community. Its circulation con
siderably exceeds that of the entire daily circula
tion of all the daily papers of Virginia* in 1850,
and its business results are not equalled by any
paper in the Union south of the Potomac, save
the New Orleans Picayune, and, perhaps, one
other paper in that city. Its daily issue exceeds
eight thousand. Its semi-weekly list has reached
two thousand, and the weekly five thousand five
hundred. So that on Tuesday of each week the
daily and apd semi-weekly issues amount to ten
thousand, and on Friday these two And the weekly
together, make the large aggregate'for a Southern
city of fifteen thousand five hundred papers.
Valcable Recipe.—ll. Spiquel, a French chem
ist gives the following recipe for silvering spoons
and forks of German silver when somewhat the
worse for wear : Dissolve two grammes of nitrate
of silver in forty grammess of pure cyanide of
potassium, which will immediately cause a pre
cipitate of cyapide of silver looking like snow ;
but ou stirring with a glass tube the liquid will
immediately become limpid again. Dip a linen
rag into this liquid, and rub the article to be sil
vered over with it; its surface will immediately
be covered with a film of silver. Rinse in clean
water, and then wipe towel.
In default of milk ior your tea, try a few drops
of lemon juice. It is said to remove the roughness
of the tea and produces an agreeable taste. The
Russians throw in a slice of citron as a substi
utfe for milk.

REMOVAL.
THE undersigned, Ac ent for the above Fertiliser, in conse
quence of its marked success the past season, andthe great
ly increased demand arising therefrom, has made arrangements
with the manufacturer for a large and full supply; and re
quiring greater facilities for storage and other accommodation,
has taken the four story Warehouse as below, where he will be
able to supply any quantity required, with promptness. He
may be allowed to express liis satisfaction in view of the fact
that of the numerous purchases made of him by planters, gene
rally for the purpose of making comparative tests with other
fertilisers, not one case has come to his knowledge where our
Fertiliser has not shown a decided superiority. Planters who
have used Mapes’ Phosphate, now make It their sole reliant*,
and are ordering (some of them) as much as fifty tons, for use
the next season. This fact speaks for itself. We have discov
ered a quality, developed in the drouth, which was before unob
served, viz; its hygrometric power, or capacity, to absorb
moisture from the atmosphere, which obviated to a large extent
the late unparalleled drought where it was used, while most
other fertilisers were not only valueless, but positively injurious
to tbe plant. The safety and profit as a money investment,
arising frpm the use of Mapes’ Phosphate, are no'w placed be
yond question, and the experience of the past season, has estab
lished what we have, without hesitation, always asserted for it,
that is the only fertiliser reliable under all circumstances of
soil, mode of cultivation, and of weather.
The undersigned is also prepared to supply any description of
AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY and IMPLEMENTS, of
the latest improved patterns adapted to Southern cultivation, at
lowest prices.

Thursday, 6 P. M.
COTTON.—The market was rather more quiet to-day than
yesterday, but continued firm, and full prices were obtained.
The sales foot up s4l bales, as follows : 1 at 9, 6 at 10, 30 at 10)4,

receipts were 1,601 bales.
CHARLESTON. Oct. 23.—{Courier.]— Cotton— Good Mid
dling at the date of our last report was quoted at 11)4, and
Middling Fair at 11 Xc. The present week opened with a fair
attendance of buyers, who, doringthe first two davs. bought to
the extent of 3000 bales, upon the nasU of the above quotations.
The demand materially improved as the week progressed, as
the sales of Monday aiid Tuesday will testify. The transactions
during these two days reached upwards of sSX) bales, and when
we closed our inquiries on the latter day, the advantage was
decidedly in favor of the seller. The demand fell off on Wednes
dav, but revived again on Thursday, which was the heaviest
day of the week. The sales of the two days foot up 5126 bales,
making an aggregate for the week of 12,610 btUes. Our quota
tions were carefully revised yesterday, and those we offer below
will show an improvement of J4c on most qualities, on the
prices current on the 19th inst. The receipts for this period
amount to 15,302 bales. quote Low Middling 10X@10¥,

Hay —The arrivals since our last have been ‘limited to some
350 bales, which have only in part been sold at #1 30 F* 100 lbs.
The market is depressed, and sales in any quantity would not
sustain these figures.
Flour— The demand has been limited. The market has been
depressed, and the little that has been done, has developed a de
clining market, and prices at the close of the week were nomi
nal. Country brands have ranged in value from ♦7>4<stS in
bbla, and from S3 65)4@4 in sacks, and Baltimore brands from
$6®7)4, as in quality.
Bacon— This article has been rather neglected since our last,
and holders even of the primest quality of meat have found It a
very difficult matter to sustain our outside quotations for Shoul
ders and Sides. The former has been selliug principally at iOJ4
and and the latter at 12 &lAc.
Bagging and Rope —The demand for the former, which has
been very limited, has been supplied at prices ranging from 11)4
to 13c, as to quality. Nothing has been done in Rope.
Salt —There was an arrival This week of 6000 sacks, which had
been sold previous to arrival, but the terms have not transpired.
The purchaser has not yet broke bulk. Previous receipts have
been selling from 95c@*l per sack, cash and time. The stock is
accumulating, and the demand has been very limited.
Groceries— There has been some Eovement in Sugars, and
about 60 hhds Muscovado and Porto Rico have been sold, at
prices ranging from B&S%c. There is but a limited stock in
first hands, and as light as the stock Is estimated, a portion of it
has been withdrawn. Nothing done in Coffee or Mol.sses.
Exchanges— Sterling Bills have further declined this week.
The market opened at 6@gV, and closed yesterday at TX&S

the close of the week, as we learn, were 15 32d and )4d. Two
vessels loading this week for Havre, have nearly completed
their cargos at lc. The coastwise business has been active.—
The New York steamers both forthisand the coming week are
