In short, anything in the way of pleasant reading may bo procured at the literary depot of P, Quinn. A Cooling Drink. The great demand in these days of heat is for cooling chinks. Perhaps our readers can use the following. It is an effervescing drink, ljut far better than soda water, as the effer vescence is much more slow : Two ounces of tartaric acid, two ounces of white sugar, the juice of half a lemon, and three pints of water; boil them together five minutes, and, when nearly cold, add the white of three eggs, well beaten, with half a cup of flour and half an ounee of essence of wintergreen or other flavoring/ Bottle and keep it in a cold place. Take two table spoonsful of this syrup for a tumbler of water, and add one-quarter of a teaspoonful soda, stir it, and.then drink. Protection ot Ibc Police. Every man who lives in Augusta—every woman and child who lives in Augusta— every stranger, whether man, woman, or child, who visits Augusta—all these are interested in the preservation of the lives of our Policemen. It is to the watchful care of the police that all have to look, while in this city, for the protection of their own lives and persons. It is too often our duty to record the attacks on folice officers at the hands of ruffians. Such attempts at murder have become of so frequent occurrence, that if is evident that more efficient measures should be adopted to make certain the punishment of the murderers. The great obstacle in the way of this is the large influence which ruffians exorcise in political affairs. This power is thorough ly understood by all candidates for popular favor. It is fully appreciated. Men who seek public office count the favor and sup port of the dangerous classes. Murderers understand very well that the pbveo in which a friend is most valuable to them is on the Bench ; and they spare no effort to put and keep him there. We had better look this mischief squarely in the face. - —— Producer! Wanted. It is very evident from the present aspect of things that we have reached the point at which a modification of the producing and the distributing force of the community mast be affected. A portion of those now using their capital or their labor in the distribution of profits, that is in trading operations, must become workers in one branch or other of productive industry, especially in agriculture or mining. This is needed in order to in crease oar supply of products, which being effected we should have lower prices ; and prices lower and increased consumption, and enlarged and healthier trade. It may be that we shall pot realize this redistribution of employment, except through a commer cial breakdown, compelling those engaged in the less remunerative branches to seek employment in the more prosperous; but that such a change must come is as certain as that trade is controlled by natural laws The prudent, however, will lose no limo in shaping their affairs by this tendency. The longer they continue in their present unfa vorable condition, the more they will lose ; and the sooner they transplant themselves to the more favored employments, the more they will save- —.—-*-»« Important Decision. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue made his first decision on Thursday, under the new internal revenue law. A New York Assessor wrote to the Department to know >* an application for license as distiller f made by one who has a lease duly recorded two years since, in which it was expressly stipulated that the premises leased were to be used for the erection of a distillery, should be granted under the present law, the applicant claiming that the old lease is sufficient. The Commissioner decides that the written consent- of the owner of the premises should be one which has been given since the passage of the new law, and he adds that all Assessors must be careful to require also the consent and stipulation called for by section eight from any mortgages, judg ment creditor, or other person having a lien. Ihe applicant is required to furnish the Assessors with the official searches from the proper officers, showing conclusively if there are any other liens on the property. He also takes occasion*to state that, in the case of either of the bonds provided by sec t'ou seven of the new law, the % Assessor I'hould require before approval that the sureties shall be shown conclusively to be Persons possessed of unencumbured real «»tate in the county in which the distillery is 'ocated, or in an adjoining county in the ■'ame State, equal at least in value to the am °ontorthe penal bond.

New York Cotton IteVlew. New York, July 31, 1868. Our last circular reviewed the market to the 24th instant, when we quoted Middling Uplands lOAd. in Liverpool, and Low Middlings 29| cents in this market. On Saturday, Liverpool was dull at lOid., and the business here was confined to 500 bales, the market showing a slight decline. On Monday, Liverpool was panicky, the decline during the day being quoted at j}d. This market was in a similar condition, and 1 ja2 cents lower. Even this decline failed to find buyers, and only 600 bales were sold, 400 going to On Tuesday, Liverpool was again lower, 9jd. being quoted, with sales of 8,000 bales. There was more animation hero at irregular prices, ami 1,400 bales were sold, mostly to spinners. Gold 1.44}. On Wednesday, Liverpool was again dull, and closed at aJ. decline. Uplands quoted Old. on safes of B,tW bales. The market opened hero with some animation, and a shade better fooling was noticeable, but at the,close the improvement was all lost, and there was no buyers at quota tions. Qn Thursday, Idverpoof was more active, 12,000 bales bang sold nt unchanged prices. There was less anxiety noticeable here, and some Cottons were withdrawn The idea was general that the panic had spent itself, and the advance in Gold to 1.45 was to the advantage of holders. Tho sales were small, only reaching 1,100 bales, all to spinners. To-day the market opened steady, but dosed buoyant ni our figures. Sales in Liverpool -18,606 bales, closing at 9?d. Cable advices have come regularly to hand, and report a panic during the week in Liverpool, with a decline of fully Id. per pound on Ameri can descriptions. The counted stock foots up 553,000 bales, including 278,000 American. Cot ton alloat for Great Britain foots up 796,000 bales, including 13,000 American. Salos of the week 63,000 bales —45,000 to tbe trade, 11,0(10 to export, 7,000 to speculators. Oar own market for tho week uudur review has been excited, pauieky and decidedly lower. The decline In Liverpool necessitated a correspond ing decline in prices here, and panics are always contagious in proportion to the obscurity of their cause. Tho smallness of our stock, and the fact of its wide distribution has tended to Chock tbe panic to some oxtent, although some holders “made a market” every day, and the proportion of our total stock which appeared ou the boards was greatly in excess of what an active market would have discovered. Feme of the short sales of last month were covered, although the move ment was not general, and spinners have taken almost all that was Sold. Tbe character ot tbe demand has been about tho same as last week, and run almost entirely on low Middlings, the lower grades being entirely nominal, and tho liner varieties movtng only at buyers’ views. The disposition to sell good cotton has been more marked than of late, as it is generally be lieved that the first pickihgs this season will be very handsome cottoti, and that low grades must become relatively dearer. Contracts for'future delivery have been dull, and at the quoted rates of last week there are more sellers than buyers. As usual, in a panic, rumors of the most exag gerated nature nave been industriously set afloat by those interested in cheaper prices. Tho advent of the first bale on the 28th fust.*, at Houston, Texas, has induced tbe circulation of absurd re ports of vast quantities of cotton now picked, giiuiod, baled and ready for market, and not sent forward through fear of tho tax. If any of our planter friends are not aware of the working ot this tax, wo would once more repeal, that any action raised this year cau be sunt forward at once without paying any tax.
