We find, in the columns of our city cotem porarics, trom this gentleman, an appeal to “our people, - ’ and “our country," etc. The Lieutenant seems to be in trouble. We would ask if this is the same person who> with a grand flourish of trumpets in 1865- ’66, was goiug to get up, “regardless of expense to other people,” a business direc tory of the State of Georgia f From what we have learned, Brain is an Englishman—may be not even naturalized as a citizen, and yet be claims our people and our country ns his own. Brain has evidently a softening of the brain. Post Office.

But circum stances alter cases, don’t they? To tlie Distressed Tories. “Come ye sinners poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore. Judging from the laments of the poor stricken Tory press, and more especially from the moans and dying groans of our up the street “Governor cast of the Oconee,” we are led to suppose that our duty is to invite such stricken sinners up to the altar of their country, that they may lay down their rebellious spirits and receive such con solation as only can be given by a strict observance of the law, especially Order No. 51.

Order No. 51 has crippled some of the modern Democracy, and we leavn, from good outside authority, that they curse and swear infinitely worse than “our army in Flanders. - ’ Keep your tempers, gentlemen ; don’t spoil your digestion by unwise and futile complainings, What you said in advance of General Mf.ise is true to day.

King most true. —— Proscription. It is very strange, and certainly suicidal, for business men to act as they do in this city and elsewhere, we suppose—in fact know. But it seems that the insanity of such a course is like the old woman’s religion and her measles—it goes through whole families. Now, we do not care a single markee or centime about this thing, but we might do our friends, perhaps, a service, who reside in the country, and who come to this city to trade and spend their money, by telling them that the best treatment and the best bargains arc to be had only of thoso parties who have the independence of character to advertise their goods where they please, despite the contemptible puppyism that pervades so ciety to such an extent; and that when they come here to buy goods of any kind, the places to get them right is to buy only of such parties, but we shall for- the present not do so. The present state of affairs must, however, alter very much to prevent us from doing our duty in this matter, as wc shall most assuredly perform it when we consider the time come to do so. Selah! A Huge Cityo-London Nowhere. Efforts are making to create a power ful city “over in New Jersey.” Tho project is thus capitally explained in tke World: This city is at last threatened with a for midable rival. Across the river, what is now Hudson county, in New Jersey, is asking to be a city extending from Bergen Point to Bull’s Ferry, from Hudson to tbe Hadken saelt and, including all the territory within its limits, it proposes merging into a grand metropolis Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehaw ken, Hudson Bergen, Uuion City, Guttemburg, Bull’s Ferry, Communipaw, and other places, about twenty in all, in cluding a present population of 120,000. This is more than mere talk. Last week the Board of Chosen Freeholders, corres ponding to our Supervisors, appointed a committee of eight, with Mr. Platt at the head, to urge this matter upon the New Jersey Legislature. The apparent object of this movement is, that while the interests of all these places are identical, they are ham pered -by conflicting local boards. They want common roads, lo open new streets, water and gas works, and claim that a con centration of their interests under one mu nicipal control will give tlie entire community what is wanted. As it is, it is complained that no road “leads anyvUierewhat is begun is unfinished for want of the consent of cooperation of a conflicting corporation or rival interest the new municipality with its enlarged boundaries and powers (and increased taxes) is to do everything. Rumor already fixes a name for our rival ; it is to be “New Jersey City.” So great an enter prise ought to be better christened, and with a more original name; but with the mag nificent water front, the location, the facili ties, and the inducements, New Jersey City or some other city is sure to spring up oil the shore opposite to New York, and New York should look to it that other and vaster interests do not follow the Erie road and the steamships and other enterprises which are now centering on that side of the Hudson. > ♦ ■ Bnpliat Convention. The following named Railroads will pass delegates attending the Georgia Baptist Convention to Augusta and back for one faro : Atlanta and West Point, Atlantic and Gulf, Augusta and Savannah, Central, Georgia, Macon and Augusta, Macon and Western, Southwestern, Western and Atlantic.

Money and Stock quiet, and no transactions worthy of note. COTTON.—No better than yesterday ; but in fact the prices are receding, and 265 cts. this A. M. was the maximum ; this P. M., no sales. Liverpool advices, throwing the price below 12d., has brought the New York market to a halt, and necessarily affects our market. No desire to sell at quotations, and light stocks on hand. BACON.—With high stocks, holders are firm, and prices are fluctuating. CORN.—Nothing reported to us as to priceß. [From the Circular ot Win. Bryco A Cos. IVeiv York Cotton Iteviexv. New York, April 3, 1868. Concerning receipts, the predictions of a per pendicular falling off seem to be realized most completely, and those whoso estimates ranged in the neighborhood of two aud three quarter mil lions are wriggling out their positions with the best grace possible. We still maintain our Christmas estimate of 2,350,000 halos, although the most of the trade seem to think two millions and a quarter will cover tho crop. Merely look ing at the amount now in and what promises to come forward, even two and a quarter millions seems a full figure, but largo corrections will have to ho added at the end of tho season .to account for tho immense amount of cotton which the railroads from tho Southwest have carried direct to our manufacturing towns. Concerning the prospects of prices, we have nothing to add to the views expressed in our late Circulars, that consumption most be checked before tbo riso will ceaso. Letters by tho last packet refor to tho fact that Manchester was talking of “short time,” but if we can form any opinion from tho business advised by cablo for the past week, the idea of short time seems to havo been dismissed for tho present at least. The enormous contracts made early in tuo year have kept Manchester employed to the full extent of her ability; but at what rates fheso contracts (now rapidly maturing) will be re newed is a difficult question. Yet it always has been tho case that Manchester has continued active as long as Liverpool kept advancing, and only when the latter market pausod have spin ners realized that cotton bought, spun, and sold at current ra'es for the raw material and yarn paid a loss. This fact seems well understood, and Manchester letters express great fears of the power of tho Liverpool speculators, and the point to which they can force prices if they wish ; for the ease in money, and tho largo profits of the season’s business, as well as the manner in which “cotton to arrive” is man aged, gives speculation almost boundless power over the small stock now in Liverpool, or indeed in sight. The Bombay shipments for the next two months, and the promise of our crop, will no doubt guide the movements of tho speculators in Liverpool to a great extent, and the fresh memories of how easily cotton declines from high figures may check any attempt to advance quotations to the point where possibly they might be forced. Concerning next crop the general tenor of advices goes to show that efforts arc being made to plant about as much as last year, yet from every section the fact is confirmed that the crop cannot bo made without assistance and capital from this point, and from present appearances it does not seem likely that these aids will bo forthcoming. Nevertheless, present prices will stimulate production prodigiously, not only here but everywhere, and an abundance of cotton next year seems assured.
