Awaiting the News.
It was indeed gratifying to witness the
enthusiasm evinced by so many of the solid
men of Augusta, last night. After it be
came known that the telegraphic reports Os
the election, held yesterday w: c favorable
to the Republicans, our business office was
crowded with gentlemen, many of them
heretofore regarded as our opponents, who
remained and enjoyed themselves until some
time after the telegraph office closed. Os
course, under the circumstances, we cOnld
not do otherwise than “treat the crowd,”
which we did, to the satisfaction of all, before
adjournment.
Feeling Bad.
Whilst the RKrcßLiCAtr office was all
joyous and happy, latl evening, on the
prospects of PEACE and PROSPER! IA,
the Ku-Klux and Democratic offices were
closed up early, knowing full well that their
traitorous designs were brought to an un
timely end. So mote it be.
- ’ W ■*
Have 101 l Beglateredy
What Republican cannot answer this
question in the affirmative ? Il you cannot,
register at once. Don’t procrastinate. Pro
crastination is the thief of time. You may
be sick to-morrow, or next week. Without
a certificate of registration, you can neither
vote for Mayor or member of Council. You
arc all vitally interested in the municipal
election. A lot of hungry Democratic ex
officials are now greedily waiting to get hold
of the city, so that they can crush every
Republican tn the city, or who has ever
expressed any sympathy for our party. They
may wheedle and talk smooth as oil, but
that is their ultimate object. Yon have the
power to defeat and destroy their mischievous
schemes; but to do that, you must register.
Remember, that if you have resided in the
State one year and in the city for six months,
you are a voter. You know whether or not
Augusta is your home. You may have been
temporarily nway. There are few persons
who have not been temporarily absent from
the city during the past year, under some
pretext or another. We do not desire Any
Republican to attempt to register, who docs
not feel himself fully entitled to register
under the law. But if you feel yourself
entitled to vote, the fi r st step necessary is, to
register.

Having read the admirable address ol this

unite in the invitation recently extended to

a few leisure momenta to replying to any
one of the" half-dozen business communica

leave canvassing for his Democratic friends
alone for a time to attend to bis official
duties, he will confer a favor on us.
The Remains
Os the late Hon. Howbll Cobh were ex
pected to reach Savannah yesterday by the
s eainship San Salvador, and will be con
veyed through this city to-day ej» route for
interment at Athens. We observe that the
members of the Bar, of which he was a dis
tinguished member, have held meetings in
Savannah, Macon, and other cities in the
State, for (he purpose of paying suitable
tributes to his memory. We presume the
Augusta Bar will do likewise.
In Bad Company.
There is a Baptist Fair going on in At

Bullock and Bibi.ey will be formidable

Prussia Bearing; Liberal Testimony.
Tlie Medical College of Breslau, Prussia,
by command of the Government, instituted
enquiries iu regard to the purity of Dr. Rad
way’s Pills. The following is a copy of the
report, after a thorough analysis, signed by
Professors of the College :
Report oj an Analysis of Railway's Regu
lating Pills,
Instituted lor the satisfaction of the
Prussian Government and people. It. ap
pears that the great popularity of the Pilis
throughout Germany, as an aperient, anti
billions and alterative medicine, had pro
voked the malice of the apothecaries, who
caused a report to be circulated that the
ingredients were poisonous. Therefore a
scientific inquisition into their nature and
properties was ordered, the issues of which
was a most triumphant vindication of the
sanitary value ofthe Pills.
The Faculty of the College state iu their
report that after a careful aud minute ex
amination, they have the honor to state that
“ the Pills are not only free from every sub
stance injurious to health, but are composed
wholly of substance's andeletnents promotive
of digestion, and certain at the same time to
act favorably upon the nervous system,”
etc., etc. They state, further, that the inju
rious rumors set afloat by the Prussian
apothecaries origiirated. “in a mean spirit of
trade jealousy, excited by the great celebrity
attained by the Pith within a very brief
period.”

“One day, in Mexico, 1 saw upon the

ket at her back was a dead baby with its
face upon her shoulder, so that whoever
stopped and paid attention to her out
stretched hand could not fail .to see the face
of the dead child. That is, to me, fe imago
of the Democratic party to-day. It stands
before me with its outstretched hands and
asks me in tones Os the mother of that dead
baby for my vote ; and the dead baby upon
its shoulder is ‘the lost cause.’ [Laughter.]
Now, the poor woman would go home and
take the baby from her back and have it
prepared for its funeral; but the Democratic
party can not get rid. of its dead baby
[laughter]; it will bear it as long as it
exists ;. the two are inseparable, and history
will «o describe it." [Applause-]

| From tbc Circular ol Win. Bryce A Co.
New York Olton Review.
New York, October 9, 1868.
Our lest circular reviewed the market to the
2 i insuiut, when wo quoted Middling Uplands
at 164 d in Liverpool, and 26}c here, both mar
kets closing strong.
Our own market has been irregular, end the
fluctuations very wide, the variations having
been fully 2c between the highest and lowest
pointe touched. The demand has been mainly
from spinners, although exporters and specula
tors have taken rather more than of late. Early
in the week spot Cottons were very scarce, and
commauded full rates, the difference between
dock and store delivery not exceeding jc per
pound; toward the close, in-the demoralised con
dition of the market, a greater difference has
boon made. In Cotton to arrive, a small buri
nes» has been done, bat the views of buyers and
sellers arc so far apart on these transactions,
that they have been necessarily limited. The
demand has beon almost wholly on the grades
above Good Ordinary—partly on account of the
smallness of the stocks of these grades, and
partly from the nature of the demand. For Low
Middling and Middling there has been a steady
call, and a fair supply on sale—almost all the
receipts being of the former grade. Good Cot
tons, that is, grades above Middling, have been
remarkably scarce for this time of the year, and
commanded very full ratos. Stained Cottons
have appeared in small parcels, but have been
in most limited request. In contracts for de
livery there has been some business done, mostly
at 23a23}c for sellers’ options, December and
January. A large demand exists at 221 c, for
these months, but no sales are reported. For
November, offers to sell are made at 24}c, but
we hear of no transactions. Gold has been
weak, and cloaca fully one point lower than last
week. Sterling has been very dull, and is nomi
nal at last week’s figures. Gunny has declined
in spite of the destruction of some 2,000 bales
by fire, and can be bought at 21c in round par
cels.
GENERAL REMARKS.—The conrso of the
market for the past ton days has developed into
laets seme theories we have advanced in our
late circulars: Ist, That planters have fully
determined to realize twenty cents at home, and
that they are willing to sell on that basis. The
free receipts tbis week, as advised by telegraph,
and the peremptory orders to sell to arrive,
which were received during the currency of the
high prices of the early part of the week, proves
conclusively that planters are willing to sell at
the figures we have mentioned; while on the
other hand tbe impossibility of buying cotton
for future delivery, at twenty-two cents, delivered
here, shows how little faith operators have in
planters parting with their crops for lees than
tbe oven figure we have quoted. Tbe rise in
Liverpool from Ojd. to lid., and the qick decline
from tbis latter price, seems pregnant with
meaning.

Speech of John Quincy Adams.
' Charleston, October 13.—John Quincy
Adams addressed an immense meeting of
the Democracy of South Carolina, atC dam
bin, lust night. His speech was long and
elaliorate, breathing the same moderate and
eiMioilintory "pint as hfct recent letter. Re
ferring to the ponding political struggle he
said: “Your relation to the political parties
attliu North hare a very important bearing
upon your fate just now. and demands care
ful meditation. Most of you doubtless- re
gard the success of the Democratic party as
essential to your release from your present
sitnation, but it is my* duty to remind you
that men in your position have no right to

1 have already depreciated unreasonable
and nudistiuguishmg hostility to the Repub

an absolute and exclusive devotion to any
party. If the Democracy succeed in elect
ing their candidates, yea will be subjected
to temptations as trying ap the demand upon
your sufferance may prove in case General
(Irani is chosen. Hasty, ill-considered, pas
sionate, or violent action, in the event ol
Democratic success, would be almost wire
in tin: eud to turn to. your discomfiture, lin'd
render your last state Ifforsc than the first;
and yet it will require a good deal of self
command to control the reactivirTrom llirs
depression.' Rut the country, in that event,
will be So severely divided and so greatly
excite*), that aeuiall thing may induce a let
rible catastrophe. On the oilier hand, is
case of Gen. Grant’s election, you will he
called on. to exercise a while longer
your patience und foi'benrarieq, lam
sure it will lie rewarded in tbo end. 1 do
not believe that General Grant in your
enemy. 1 feel sure he means kindly toward
you, nod will do justice and allow mercy in
his course to you. A large mass of U« pub
lican s will help yop, if you. will do your bfest
to help yourselves. A great majority of all
the North only wait to be sure it is safe to
take you cordially by the hand once more.
Bide, then, your time;in either event, pos
sess your souls hi patience; call to your aid
that grandest us all human qualities, self
