N«w I'wi •( Paper.
One of the late uses of paper ia its appli
cation iii the manufacture of pails, wash
basins, pans, spittoons, etc.} and strange as
it may seem, it is nevertheless true, that the
above articles—as made by the American
Papier Mach 6 Manufacturing Company of
Greenpoint, L. I„ from a chemically pre
pared paper—are superior in mauy respects
to any others ever before made. The paper
from which these articles are manufactured
is rendered impervious to the action of water
or acids ; the utensils cau be placed in an
oven till water can boil in them ; placed iu
the sun at the hottest season; or exposed to
the severest cold, without the slightest effect
on them. Where wood would rot and iron
ru3t, these articles are unaffected, and with
proper usage would be as good as new. In
pails, there is an advantage that water will
not taste of the material and will never
soak, and will not fall in piecos; they are
lighter than the wooden pail, and, being a
non-conductor of heat, will keep water cool.
The articles are coated with a vegetable
composition which, even if it does wear off,
does not affect their durability, and does
not injure them except in appearance.
The Augusta Markets,
WEEKLY REVIEW .
Friday, January 24, P. M.
COTTON.—We left the market at the closo of
our last report, firm, at 15io for New York
Middlings; and on Saturday, prices advanced
*c ; 1,096 bales changed hands. Receipts, 721
bales.
On Monday, the demand was good for all
grades on a basis of 15Jal3#c for New York
Middlings. Sales, 1,115 bales. Receipts, 1,078
bales.
On Tuesday, tho market was irregular, and a
declino of ia^c; 617 halos were sold, and 861
bales received.
On Wednesday, there was a better tone of
feeling manifested, tbo market opening at 15c>
and closing firm at 15ic for Middlings—lower
grades not being sought for. Sales, 064 bales.
Receipts, 394 hales.
On Thursday, tho rnarkot continued steady*
and advancing to 15jc, closed firm at those
figures. Sales of the day, 1,069 halos. Re
ceipts, 751 bales.
On Friday (to-day), a good feeling prevailed,
and wo leave toe market, at its close, firm a
16c—largo lots of the staple having changed
hands at thoso figures.
CORN.—Tho market is active, with a slight
advance on last week's quotation, say $1.f0a1.20
for yellow, and $1.20a1.25 for prime white.
OATS are very scarce, and much sought after
at $1.10a1.25, according to quality and quantity.
WHEAT continues steady with trifling offer
ing. We quote red $2.35a2.50, white $2.60a
2,90.
FLOUR.—Prices are unchanged. The demand
is confined to tho local trado, and is supplied by
the City Mills.
BACON.—The week under review has boon
extremely active 'in this line, and though we
have no material alterations to make in quota
tions, still we would remark that they are very
firm. Arrivals have boon light, and sales heavy,
bo that the stock is rapidly being depleted. For
figures sec our price list.
LARD.—Tennessee prime, in regular pack
ages, has a lively run at 15c ; pressed 13c.
DOMESTICS.—The Augusta Factory ia sell,
ing at the following prices: f, 12$c.; 4-4, 13£c.;
Drills, 14£c. The Factory is also making anew
lot of i Shirting at 9Ac.
REMARKS.
It affords us pleasure to chronicle the fact
that, notwithstanding the exceeding stringency
of money, tho week now under consideration has
been a very active one, so far as Provisions or
Produce is concerned. The dealers in the fleecy
staple have been cheered by continued advances
in prices, while Cotton has been very brisk
throughout tho week. It should be remarked,
however, that the demand is principally for
Middlings or choice grades, lower grades being
neglected.
Without further prelude we lay before our
readers a carefully oorrectcd report of the pres
eut prices current ( wholesale ) in this market.
FINANCIAL.
GOLD—We quote as broker's ratos : Buying,
1.40, and selling, 1.42.
SlLVEß—Buying, 1.30, and selling, 1.35.

STATE COSYEHTIOHB.
OIOROtA.
Atlanta, January 24.—An ineffectual
effort was made in to have
two sessions daily.
A resolution, asking the Federal Govern
ment to advance per diem and expenses
to the Convention, was introduced. The
Convention refused to table by a vote of
101 to 34. Referred to a special committee
to report on to-morrow.
A resolution that the Finance Committee
see on terms the Convention could
negotiate a loan of from fifty to one hundred
thousand dollars, was adopted.
A resolution to adjourn until pay eould
he obtained up to date, was tabled-
The Convention's financial agent reported
that lie had received ten thousand dollars
from the Military State Treasurer, which he
held subject to the instructions of the Con
vention.
A resolution was immediately offered, to
pay each member fifty dollars, but not
acted on.
The usual treason section was adopted.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Charleston, Jan. 24. —The Convention
to day urged measures of relief for the
people. The extremists argued that the
whites owning property about to be sacri.
ficed at Sheriff 's sale, ought to suffer by
reason of participation In the war. On
the other hand, it was argued that sales
would be made to speculators and stran
gers, who would hold property at exhorbi
tant rates, forbidding the development of
enterprise in the colored race, The feel,
ing of the majority is evidently to protect
all classes from ruin until the Legislature
can adopt permanent measures of relief.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Raleigh, North Carolina, January 24.
Mr. Toneigee, of Forsythe, presented a
resolution authorizing county {Hoards of
Registration to disfranchise all persons who
engaged in tho rebellion, or who gave aid
and comfort.
A Committee was appointed to confer with
Gen. Canby.
A communication was received from Gov.
Worth, stating that ne had nothing to com
municate, but was ready to furnish any
information in his possession. ,
A resolution was passed calling on the
Ti easurer, on the warrant of the President'
of the Convention, to pay over the per diem
and mileage of the members. Nothing of
more importance.
VIRGINIA.
Richmond, Jan. 24.—1n the Convention
to-day, a resolution was adopted to memo
rialize Congress for an extension of time
of the Bankrupt Act.
The first article of the Constitution was
adopted.
Congressional.
Washington, January 24. Senate. —
Edwards and Johnson took issue with the
President’s opinion, that the bill striking
white from District Ordinances failed dur
ing the recess. Message referred to Judici
ary Committee. The Senate adheres
to its amendments to the Deficiency Bill,
and forbidding appropriations for quarter
masters department being expended for
Reconstruction or any other purpose. Gen.
Howard called for elaborate reports re
garding abandoned lands and other relative
