DIRECTIONS. Example: If you happen to be in the lower part of the city, anywhere between the Post Office and the Cemetery, and wish to go to the Planters’ Hotel, jump into a RED car— Or, if you desire to go to the Georgia Railroad, take a YELLOW car. It will be seen that a yellow car will not run up Broadway above Jackson street, but only down; nor will a red car run down Broadway below Monument, street, bnt only up. • . THE FAR'S.

We were conversing with a property owner, yesterday, who advanced the propo sition that the rates of insurance in this place are too high; he seemed to think that the purchase by the city of good steam fire engines, and our excellent water arrange ments, should cause a return to the old ante-bellum rates of insurance, or at least a lowering of the present ones. It seems to us, that in many instances the insurance companies have to cry “ Save me from my friends,” as the amount of water thrown into a house often does as mucli damage as the fiery element —especially where the fire breaks out in a store con taining a light stock of goods. AVe know that a Firo Department, such as Augusta is favored with, so well man. aged, commands the respect and the good wishes of our Insurance companies. It is also true that the rates of indemnity from fire, in this city, have not been materially advanced since the war closed, except on extra hazards. Indeed, the rates charged here are from 33 to 50 per cent, less than in any other city at the South. This is owing to the existence of our excellent Fire Department and superior water facilities. Burning of the Pine House. We learn from the Advertiser that the largest and most commodious mansion in Edgefield District, that of Benjamin Betlis, Esq., at the Pine House, was burned to the ground on Tuesday morning, the last day of 1867. The fire iu this Case is suppposed to have originated, in some way or other, from the burning-out of the chimneys. This burning out was done early in the morning, and at 10 or 11 a. m., the garret was dis covered to be in flames- The fire had pro gressed so far before being discovered that it was found impossible to extinguish or arrest it. The costly and elegant furniture of the upper rooms was consumed with the building; that below stairs was rescued. No insurance. The loss thus sustained by this popular aud hospitable fellow-cilizen cannot be less than fifteen thousand dollars. It is melancholy, even for the-general pub lic, to think that the elegant and hospitable mansion which has so long marked that old, familiar spot, “ the Pine House.” is now but a heap of ashes. A Hint to Harbors. The mass of professors of the art of shav ing and hair-cutting, labor under the de lusion that tbe passage of a comb through the average crop of human hair and whiskers never causes paiu, no matter how great the force exerted, or how obstinate the resist ance offered by the tangled condition of the capillary growth. Especially is this the case when barbers operate upon a victim who has a thin skin and a thipk beard. Into that luxuriant growth they plunge the harrowing comb; through that thicket of kinked and clustered curls they ruthlessly pass the un yielding comb. The victim, ashamed to cry out, suffers twice the paiu he would endure were howling possible; and the barber is cursed none the less effectually that the curse is choked and confined by circum stances to the throat of the cursor. Now, by a very simple expedient (unknown to all barbers, and which if hereafter practiced by them will be done under protest) this suffer ing might be avoided. Let the beard be first brushed with a stiff brush. This will straighten out the kinks and tangles more quickly and effectually thou a comb, and it will do the work painlessly—a consideration of some consequence to the customer, how ever trivial it may appear to the barber. That this discovery should never have been made by harbors themselves, goes to show that Figarro was not a fair representative ot the average intelligence of his craft, f Advertisement, j] Legal lllnnka.

COTTON.—On iaat Saturday them were con siderable sales of the staple at 15 cents for Middling, but the afternoon telegrams rondered tho market flat. 3ales 800 bales. Receipts 268 bales. Monday, declining pricos in Liverpool and New York caused & depression in our market. Middling only brought 14J cents. Sales 304 bales. Receipts 427 bales. Tuesday, the market was very dull—Middling selling at 14 to 14£ cents. Sales 301 bales, Receipts 447 bales. Wednesday, it was difficult to obtain 14 cents for Middling. Lower grades were offering at figures ranging from 11 to 134 cents. Sales 444 bales. Receipts 597 bales. Thursday, there was a fair inquiry at 13|a140 for Middling, and quite a number of salos were effectod ou that basis. It was too apparent, however, that the declining prices reported in Liverpool and New York produced a bad feoling in our market. To-day (Friday), there was a better feeling in the market. Fair demand, offering stock light. We quote Now York Middling at 14c. From the tenor of letters received from farmers in various portions of the State, it is inferred that very little Cotton will be planted the ensuing season. There seems to boa very general determination on tho part of our farmers to abandon the old style, and turn their at ten. tion mainly to the cereals and provision crops. We have scon the statement that a planter who lost two thousand dollars, in 1866, by attempt ing to raise cotton, cleared three thousand dollars, the past year, by raising wheat. While the India yield of cotton has within eight years increased nearly fourfold, the Brazilian about threefold, and the Egyptian about tho same, it is not at all probable that wo shall ever be able to regain anything like a monopoly. Indeed, as our cotton is far superior to all the rest, it is highly desirable that we should ourselves manufacture it very much more largely than we do, and then tho surplus would command better prices. But with the labor system of the South in the shifting, uncertain state that it is now passing through, it seems tho veriest stupidity for Congress to hesitato at relieving from a twenty per cent, ad valorem tax, one of the raw products of agriculture which, even without it, would need encourage ment and time to regain, its normal strength. Wo find the following instructive figures in a lato Now, York paper, respecting tho receipts, exports'and movements of Cotton : Receipts since Sept. 1, 1867 223,098 Receipts year ending Jan. 1, 186S 579,671 Receipts year ending Sept. 1, 1867 657,431 Receipts year eqding Jan 1, 1867 657,431 Receipts year ending Sept 1, 1866 511,630 lixports since Sept. 1 128,783 Exports year onding Jan. 1, 1868 438,119 Exports year ending Sept. 1, 1867 472,594 Exports year onding Doc. 31, 1866 381,099 Exports year ending Sept. 1, 1866 495,309 Estimated stock on hand in New York 55,000 Receipts at all the shipping ports of the United States fro n the close of tho war, May 1, 1865, to September 1, 1866 2,571,040 Receipts at all the ports since Scptcmbor 1, 1867 810,000 Receipts at all tho ports year ending Sept. 1, 1867 1,951,988 Receipts preceding cotton year 2,154 479 Exports from nil tho ports since Sept. 1, 1867, to latest mail dates 390,000 Exports from all the ports year ending Sept. 1, 1867 1,557,054 Exports preceding cotton year 1,554,661 Estimated stock on hand at all the ports August 31, 1867 80,296 Estimated stock on hand at all ports, at latest mail dates 315,000 CORN.—Tho market is fairly activo, with sales of moderate lots at sl.lO in depot.

Atia! *? a ’ J * no * r T 10.—An ordi nareo »M introduced, limiting the operation of the Uelicf Ordinance, adopted by Con vention in December, to cases prior to first of June, 18C5. A letter was read from Senator Sherman to a delegate, saying the Convention should have no fears, but go ahead. If additional legislation is needed, state what it is, and it will be furnished. Gen. Meade addresied the Convention— said he was sent to administer the recon struction acts, which were law till decided otherwise by competent authority, and should do so faithfully f<)r the best interests of the peopie, as ho understood them. Baid that it was a popular impression he was bound to enforce tho legislation of the Convention ; but prior to the adoption of anew Consti tution such legislation was not valid. The law gave him a discretionary power, and he might enforce some measures, especially any well digested scheme of relief. Supreme Court. Washington, January 10.—The proceed ings in the Supreme Court will decide adversely as to the constitutionality of the reconstruction acts. The following occurred to-day, Judge Black moved that a day be appointed for hearing ex parte but Mr. Stan, berry objected to nrgde the case in behalf of Government because he had written opin ions sustaining the other side of the matter. Case deferred, upon Stanberry’s suggestion, until the Government could arrange to appear by some other counsel. This case is that of Col. McCardle, the editor, of Vicks burg, who was imprisoned by Ord. The decision is looked for at an early day, and the impression is very general that the writ will be granted, which would virtually set aside the law. A second case involves the constitution ality of the law, by which Congress au thorized tho sale of captured property, and directed tlic proceeds to be paid into the Treasury ; and at the same time providing that claimants might, at the end of two years, bring suit for the recovery through the Court of Claims. The suit comes up through the action of the owners of a lot of cotton who brought suit directly against the officer making the seizure. This latter person pleads the law as his defence. Wbat is known as the Virginia case af fects the mode in which Congress can pro ceed in ratifying contracts between States. It comes into court on motions of parties representing Virginia, and claiming that the cession of the counties of Berkley and Jefferson to Western Virginia, is not validi although ratiGed by Congress. The State of Western Virginia provided for receiving these counties upon the consent of Virginia being given. This consent was obtained, and Congress was asked to ratify the. con tract. Before the action of the body was consummated Virginia withdrew her con sent, but Congress paid no attention to this action, and proceeded to ratify the agree ment. Virginia claims that such action was unconstitutional, and comes into the Supreme Court to test it. Congressional. Washington, Jan. 10.
