These “babies,’" of the fowl kind, are also “coming to town,” seeking a devouring people, but they taste almost tin, strong of mouej to go off very fast.

Balk, al 172 llroad Street, Has hoop skirts, we were astonished to find, at the low price ol fifty cents, seventy live cents, and one dollar each, and some English embroidered bareges at thirty cent*, worth ail of seventy five cents.

I’icVicon Vtulrrilay, We learn that the Sunday Schools of St. Paul’s and Atonement Episcopal Churches sent, on yesterday, on an excursion and picnic to Beraclia, where the little folks and great folks enjoyed themselves hugely, until on their return home, when they were received by the storm—which was at its height when they arrived at the Union depot. lVc saw a number of the party, who vere making their way home under con siderable difficulty, but we hope the pleasant recollections of the earlier part of the day vill neutralize any had feelings thev may have been felt upon its termination.

" ° Urt ’ he will a R ra te Terrific KMrn, Between four and five o’clock, yesterday afternoon, our city was visited by a tremend ous storm of rain und hail. Thunder, light ening and rain, accompanied by hail, con tinued for more than two hours. Broad street, in front of our office, wan ull afloat, while the poor dray and car horses had to take tho whole brunt of the storm. Row boats were in demand at sis o'clock, aud wore used to some extent. We have seen hut once before a storm of rain and hail which exeooded it in violoncej but this one, in duration, far surpassed that. Following on the heels of the rain cf the Saturday night last, cellars are filling up with water, roofs are leaking und goods and furniture have been seriously damaged already. ■The hail stones were not very largo but came down very thickly. Near tho Freedman’s Hospital, the Canal was out of the banks, and a sheet of water coveted the ground Iroui the Georgia Rail road Depot westward, submerging every thing in its way. We heard of one family having found it necessary to remove from their dwelling. A portion of the track of the Augusta and Summerville Railroad nenr the lower market house was damaged so as to prevent use, but will soon bo all right. We bear of considerable damage done up town, aud we presume for the want of proper drainage in all parts of the city, great damage will have been done in sundry ways, not only to Real Estate, but to personal property. Upon the whole, by reference to that old gentleman, known familiarly as the “oldest inhabitant,” no such rain has ever before fallen in this city during the lime it raged. In three quarters of an hour, the Hydrometer showed a measurement of five and one quarter inches of water that had fallen upon the earth. I'nblir. Meeting. At a largo and influential meeting of the respectable Dogs of this city, held at the Upper Market, on the evening of the 19th instant, on motion of Mr. T. Owner, B. Rindle, Esq., was called to the chair, and P. Uppy and T. Erricr were requested to act as Secretaries. In a few impertinent remarks, the chair man stated the object of the meeting: to take prompt and active measures for the suppression of the Coll ary, which, he re gretted to say, had broken out in the south* cast corner of the City Hall, and which promised to spread all over the corporation. Judge B. Ulldog, of the First Ward, moved the appointment of a Committee of nineteen, to report, at a subsequent meet ing, a Preamble and Resolutions, expressive of the feelings of the whole canine popu lation on the subject. The motion was seconded and carried. The Chairman said that he would ask a little time, in order that lie might get the right kind of Dogfc on this important Com mittee, and that, for obvious reasons, the names on said Committee would not he published. Dr. G’Reyhound made a few eloquent remarks, and offered a resolution for the appointment of a Committee of four Dogs from each Ward to draw up a Drateet against the establishment of the Coilary in our city. The speaker eloquently disclaimed the intention of being dogmatical, but repelled tho intimation that Tin, in circular or any other form, worn around the neck, had aught to do with the moral or physical sanity of any respectable Dog—and if this badge of disgrace should be submitted to in this military district, the conclusion wjs irresistible—“the world was rapidly going to hell in a hand-basket.” [ Applause. | In the speaker's opinion (though be ever expected tp bow-wow to the wx jxipiili) be bad no hesitation in saying that the concat enation of self cxisteneies proceeding in a duplicate ratio, would soon leap from the true hearts around him, and, in a voice more potent than the reverberations of ten thousand “raging Canals,” proclaim, from Pinch-Viscerar to Dublin —No Collars for Dogs! [Applause.] At this stage of the meeting, a resolution was offered that seats be tendered to the reporters of the Daily Anliquarianist and A r u Klux Blower —which was adopted. An amendment was offered, including the reporter of the I‘enplc's Favorite —which gave rise to a number of howls and whines. Hon. N. F. Oundland scorned the idea. Prof. P. Ointer simply thought tho amend went disgusting, was hard on the mover and hoped it would be withdrawn. Which was finally done. Inconsequence of the adoption of this last resolution, wo are compelled to cur tail the proceedings ol this highly interesting Indignation meeting. Stick lo Your friends. We have been taken to task by several of our cotemporaries, for an article that ap peared some days ago in our columns. We have no reason to change our opinions on the subject, or to counsel any other course* The good Book says : “he (hat is not lor us, is against usand we are one of those incorrigiblcs who never did believe in death bed repentance. We never could sec any good to arise to a sueccsstol party in politics, or in the common affairs of life to an indi vidual, who would compromise principle by receiving “eleventh hour” converts. We are charitably disposed—we are more than this —we arc generously disposed to forgive our human brother's errors, but we arc not. willing, nor will wo ever consent to the doctrine, that rewards of office shall he given to every man who irmy find him self on the weak and losing side, and repent und make profession for wc know from experience, that like mercenary troops, they are not with us, they are not to ho trusted on guard, when the dearest interests of the country are at, stake ; and a higher bidder, with money in hand, is ready to purchase their fealty for desertion from our cause. Wo then say to our readers, to “stick to your friendsI’—and 1 ’ —and bo sure they are true friends—while you let those quasi friends take care of themselves. Those are our sentiments, and we proclaim them bold ly, hut wo reserve tbo right of judgment in the matter, and cheerfully accord the sumo right to our friends. H.w the I’m la Altera*. The Ku Klux organ up the itreet is v»ry ■ora about the displacement of a lew extra men from the Police, who had been on “dead beats” for some time, aud tho corres pondent who nubliebes a string of names in yesterday’s paper, seems likewise to be exer cised dreadfully upon the subject of brave men, patriotic men, etc., otc. It is a great pity that the well-known practice of the manufacturers and landed interests of Eng land—of the whole manufacturing interest of tho North and East—not to say a word of that in our own midst—yea, even in the city limits of Augusta—could have been over looked by the gentry who lire making such blunderers of themselves in attributing no other motive to the City Council than that of following the load of nil tho interests we have named. It is strungo that the old story that all of us learned when we were children (toldol tho lawyer and farmer), that this “ox goring” was no “altered case”—has been forgotten so soon. Tho action of tho Coun cil in reducing the number of men on the Polieo forces, and thereby saving that much expense to the City Treasury, seems to have “gored the Ku Klux ox,” aud the organ has, all at once, become oblivious to their own teachings of a few weeks since. It was then that “our poor colored friends” should be turned out of employment, and left to starve, because, forsooth, of what? Not that they were an expense to the city, or any one else, that could be avoided by discharging them, hut because they bud voted with their only true an l tried friends, and for those friends who wore candidates for office. This was the extent of their offense—no more. In this thing ol throwing stones, pSople should be very cautions that their dwellings are made of stronger resisting material than glass. . i Insured. We learn from tho Savannah News that Dr. J. T. Paterson, of whose sudden death we made mention yesterday, had an in surance policy for SIO,OOO in the Equitable Life Insurance Company of New York. -—■—-♦♦ ♦- Hody ol iVlujor sit urge* Found. From a Richmond paper wo learn that tho grave of Major J. R. Sturges, of the 3d Georgia regiment, who was killed in the battle of Seven Pines, was found in a corn field, which was being plowed. The body was taken up and reburied at the junction of the Charles City and Williamsburg roads, about two and a half miles from Richmond, Va. Our cotemporaries are requested to give this a notice, in order that it may reach the eye of the friends of the gallaut soldier. Suicide a Monomania. Wc scarcely take up a iWwspaper nowa days, that we do not find from one to ten cases of suicides. This is not confined to this country, nor Great Britain or France sections of country notorious for this species of lunacy—but the whole continent of Europe and of America, and the isles of the sea arc embraced in this sad category. We never were yet of those who believed that “any ill that flesh is heir to” was of sufficient weight upon the mind ot any sane person, to cause him or her to produce a violent deatli with his own hands upon himself. Insanity, or a morbid condition of the mind, that produces luuaey, are most generally tho prime causes of suicide. We are not aware that the excuses made lor parties who com mit this unrepented of, and unpardoned sin against light and knowledge, are in any way valid, unless because of the reason wo have already given of complete insanity. The troubles and cares and mishaps of life, cither in fortune or health, can form no sort of excuse to the suicide. I‘rincc Alfred. Tho Australasian papers are all discussing only one subject—the attempted assassina tion of Prince Alfred. There was, naturally, a .strong and universal expression of indigna tion throughout the colonies, and all classes of the population vied with each other in manifesting their sympathy with tho wound ed Prince and their loyalty to the English crown. The excitement among the aborigi nal blacks, who were assembled near the spot in unusually large numbers, was so great that they proposed to roast tho would be assassin. The latter was promptly brought to trial, found guilty, and sentenced to be hanged. According to the assassin’s own statement, he had been instigated to commit the crime by the Fenians in Great Britaiu. But his statement was generally doubted. His own sister testified that the prisoner had been for some time insane, that he required restraint, that he was the subject of hallucina tions, that he thought himself to be the victim of evil designs. - . ♦, —— [Advertisement.] Tbaiili* Returned.

Tho nogro had received a heavy blow on the head with a hammer or axe, in the hands of an unknown party.— Telegraph. [From tho Circular o< Win. Bryce A Cos. New York Cotton Iteview, Nsw York, May IS, 1868. In our lait Circular we offered some figures in relation t« .upply, etc., to October Ist, 1868. We now beg leave to offer tho following table made up to January 1, 1889, and by it wo arrive at tho same conclusion as wo did laH week, vli,: that consumption has to b. cut down inueh below its present rato, indoed below the rato of the corresponding period in IS«7 and 186 ft. Last year the range of tho price was trom 10jd. to 71d., rate of consumption and export fly,ooo bales wookly, for the period embraced in tho table below. In 1866, the weekly outgoings for eonsumption and export wero 68,600 halos for tho same period; raugo of price, 12} to 151<1. Stock at tho close of 1886, 427,000 bales ; at the close of 18ft7, 473,000 hales: In 1807, tho total import of Aincricaa from May 8 to l>ee. 27 602,000 Let us deduct tho deficiency visible afloat and in our ports 160,000 Estimated American supply 333,000 In 1867, tho total import of Indiifti from May 8 to Dee. 27 1,077,000 Les us deduct tho deficiency visible on the wator 223,000 Estimated Indian supply 851,000 Estimated import of ottier countries, same as last year 366,000 Slock, May S 642,000 Estimated stock Dec. 27 270,000 Weekly outgoings for consumption and export, 55,000 weekly by 33 1,815,000 A careful cunsiderati >u of the above tablo indicates that consumption and export must he reduced some 22 per cent, fr >ru the rato of the corresponding period last year, granting that tho stock is as largo January 1, 1869, as it was January 1, IB6S, and that spinners use up all tho cotton they now have in Manchester. That tho outgoings should be reduced 22 per cent, by a rango of prices no higher than those at present ruling seems almost impossible, especially when we regard the. fact that in 1366 the outgoings were about as largo as in 1867, although prices averaged more than fifty per cent, higher, and indoed were far above those now current. Again, Europe is at peace, and the growing crops of tho world promise to he magnificent, and cheap broad means an active demand for cotton goods. From all those circumstances and figures, wo aro led to bo'ieve that prices must advance to some point beyond any jet reached before an equilibrium ho established between demand and supply. We aro awaro that cotton statistics in relation to future supply and demand aro tho most unrelia ble of guesses, but leaving all special figures aside, it seems almost certain that wo have four months ahead of us of t very high prices for cot ton, unless some now unforeseen accident occurs of a political nature. The receipts ar -very light, as will be noticed by our tables and by telegraph this week ; they bid fair to show a still more marked falling oil'. In relation to the growing crop, accounts are anything but favorable. Throughout tho Atlan tic States the rains havo done great damage to the young plant, and the crop is fill of two weeks behind last season. From tho best information we have been able to obtain, tho acreage in cot ton in tho Atlantic States is slightly loss than lust year ; granting the number of acres planted to bo the same, the yield per aero will be consider ably less, for last year the lands wero covered with manures of ouo kind and another, while this year tho planters have not had the m .noy or credit with which to buy guano, etc. In the Mississippi valley we Icaru that planting has been attempted on a more limited scale than last year, hut how much or how little they will mako depends vory much on thu overflow of tho river. Early this week it was reported hank full, and tho heavy rains which have occurred since, in tho North and West, buvo caused great apprehension as to thu fate of the cotton crop on the bottom lands of tho Mississippi aud its tribu taries.
