The annexed local items were crowded
out yesterday:
At His Post. —Mr. L. B. Davis, who
wns so seriously injured during the
storm which passed over the city in the
latter purl of June, was in the city yes
terday. He is much improved. Glad
to see him up and about. Hope to see
him soon actively engaged in his par
licular vocation.
Raii.hoai> Brihue—Quite a number
of hands, whites and blacks, arc at work
on the South Carolina Railroad grounds
preparing to re-weather-board the Rail
road Bridge. It will be remembered
that during the January floods of 18G5
the weather-boarding was all torn off to
save the structure from being swept
away.
Steer Thieves. —Joe Byrd and Win.
Roberts, light freedmen, and Lem
Wheeler, very dark freedman, were tried
yesterday before Justices Phinizy and
Reid, on the charge of stealing rattle
(four steers) from Mr. J. B. Griffin, of
Columbia county.
Joe was dismissed. William and Lein
were committed to jail to await a requi
sition from the Columbiacoutity authori
ties, before whose Superior Court they
will he arraigned and tried.
All these were arrested by Officer
Tai t.
The River.— The river stands stain
quo. The Admiral and his worthy as
sistant sue the only persons of note
who can be seen on tbe bridge, the banks,
or the wharf. ‘'Dull times” is written
wherever the eye is cast, from the outer
1 i iles of the Ad mira l's stt uc/n m, to the spot,
down the river where “Hard Times’* is
tied up awaiting the coming of better
times, which shall eclipse any that have
gone before. The steamer Eclipse is
just below the Hard Times, and promi
nently below all is an extended sand
bed.
Stealing Roasting Ears.—Yester
day morning policeman Jennings ob
served two negro men shying about the
market at an early hour—six o’clock.
He kept his eyes on them, and very soon
detected them in the act of stealing a
lot of roasting ears from one of the
stalls. Discovering the fact that they
had been discovered, the rogues fled pre
cipitately, hoping to make their escape
through the crowd. Policeman Jen
nings brought them to by firing three
shots, none of which took effect. They
were taken, to the “lock up,” and, at
eight o’clock, were carried before the
Recorder. They were fined $5 and costs,
or ten days on the streets, each. Their
names were Wm. Johnson and James
Anderson.
Petroleum Stoves. —The first ship
ment of Petroleum stoves and apperte
nances for the Georgia Petroleum Asso
ciation of this city has been received,
per order of Messrs. Branch & Sons.
They are being put up for exhibition at
2(i9 Broad street —the store lately occu
pied by Mr. 0. 11. P. Moses. Mr.
Saroni, we believe, is still in New York,
having another order for stoves filled-.
The working of the Petroleum stoves
is very captivating. The stockholders
of the Augusta Association have great
confidence in their success and useful
ness. We know nothing that would
tend to lesson or diminish aught of their
faith. On the contrary, we have every
confidence that, all things being equal,
this great time-saving, economizing in
vention is surely destined to become our
most reliable auxiliary and help meet in
the midst of the embarrassments of all
kinds which surround us.
An Incident. —A romantic little in
cident was brought to light in the Coun
ty Court-room yesterday. A uegro man,
who seemed to be in great distress,
called on the denizens of that office to
see if by any means they might comfort
him. Hi's son, he said, had been attend
ing a course of lectures at the colored
church on Walker street, conducted by a
“schoolmarm,” who left Augusta a
short time since to spend her vacation
in the “great Norrid.” While at school
the youth, gay withal, formed a liking
for her who “taught the young idea how
to shoot.” When the “inarm’* aforesaid
was preparing to depart, a cloud of mel
ancholy overshadowed the heart of the
boy, and when she bade all adieu, he be
gan to pine away. But pining was not
to be the business of his life, nor was he
to be without something that would con
tinually revive in his mind’s eye the
form of the mourned for. Letters came,
first, singly; then in packages. These
were treasured by the boy, and they
gave him -new life. His parents grew
hopeful, thought son was “himself again”
woke up to find their hopes delusions.
The boy lias lately disappeared and, it
is sapnosed, has gone where the teacher
is. We forberr mentioning a suppose:!
inducement to this course ou the part of
the prodigal.
Sudden Illness.— Yesterday, be
tween twelve and one o’clock, we found
a crowd gathered around a white man,
who was lying on the skirts of the
avenue, just below Lincoln street, appa
rently in great pain. He had arrived in
the city but u few hours before, and
was taking a walk round it to see its
“general make up.” When near tbe
spot w here we saw him, he became sud
denly sick, and walking a step or two
farther on, fell prostrate. A kind-hearted
lady hearing his groans,hastened thither,
and caused some stimulants to he given
him. He was measurably relieved
thereby. Shortly afterwards a party
of gentlemen came up in a wagon,
aud, on being informed of the circum
stances of the unfortunate man’s case,
kindly took him in their vehicle to the
City Hospital, where he should and will
receive marked attention, he having
been a member of the Louisiana Tigers,
and as such, we venture, did his duty.
His name is John C.Smith; and he is a
perfect specimen of a man, so far, nt
least, as physique is concerned. He had
been working in Anderson District, S.
0., walked from thence to this place on
Tuesday, and had but little, if anything,
to eat on the route. To hunger and the
effects of the sun's rays, is his sickness
doubtless attributable.
Southern Express. — We have al
luded often to the Southern Express
Company, in favorable terms ; but we
cannot say too much in praise of it. It
is one of the institutions of the country
which the people cannot dispense with.
Through receipts via inland or steamer
routes are now given by the Agents of
the Company, and special contracts will
lie made at the principal cities of the
North and West for forwarding heavy
freight to any point in the Southern
States. The same arrangements may
be effected at any office of the principal
Northern Express Companies. Thus it
will be seen that the Southern Express
Company is always extending its facili
ties and increasing its opportunities for
accommodating the business public, and
adding to its popularity.
Seaboard and Gulf Mail Route.—
This old and popular route is bow in
successful operation, with new engines,
new passenger cars, including most ele
gant sleeping cars, built expressly for
the line. Through tickets are sold at
all points mentioned, and baggage
goes through, and is ro-ehecked without
troubling passengers to leave their seats.
At Weldon passengers are granted a
choice between the Bay and Washington
routes.
Mr. Isaac Levy is the agent at this
point. Persons having business with
Mr. L. will find to be a clever and an
accommodating gentleman, who will
give them all possible information con
cerning this excellent route. Mr. Levy,
it will be remembered, was for a long
time agent for this line previous to the
war, aud discharged his duties faithfully
and acceptably.
New Railroad. —A notice appears
in the Charleston papers in which it is
announced that application will bo made
to the next session of the Legislature of
South Carolina for n charter for an Air
Line Railroad from the city of Charles
ton to the city of Augusta, Ga., or some
point connecting with the Georgia Rail
road, with power to construct branches
to connect with any other railroad with
in the State or to the North Carolina
line.
Georgia Engine House. —Four or
more freedmen are at present engaged
in tearing the plastering (which was
much cracked) from the ceiling of
Georgia Engine House. The Hall where
the Georgia Independents aro wont to
assemble is to be thoroughly repaired.
We are pleased to observe the improve
ment being made. Long live the Keans,
Charlies, Georges, and all the other
clever members of this excellent organi
zation. Their record is fair, as firemen
and soldiers.
Credit. —Our neighbor of the Chroni
cle & Sentinel is still harping upon our
not giving him credit. The fact is,
neighbor, we see so little in your blanket
to copy that there is actually nothing to
give you credit for, unless it be your su
perior enterprise in publishing the Cable
correspondence between Queen Victoria
and President Johnson six days after
the Daily Press had published it.
There, that's a *• chawyer” for you!

KIS2VTAIU€&.
Since presenting our report to yon l«9t week,
trade has assumed a little more activity; in fact,
the season has not been as dull ns was generally
anticipated.
The favorable weather which we have erj >yed
lately, has done much to better the crops. In
regard to Cotton, we shall have more to say In
iia proper place.
. The Kurope.m war having, teiminated so sud
denly, added to the promising report* of the crop
in all parts of the country, have, to a great degree,
affected the pr.ee* of grains aud breadstuff's.
The Atlantic Cable, the successful completion of
which we announced to you in our la>t, continues
In successful operation. The effects of it to the
commercial world cannot be over estimated.
The health of the city continues better than it
has ever beett at this period Os the year; ill fact,
there is less sickness now than there was in Janu
ary last. Country merchants, therefore, need fear
no danger of sickness in coming to our city.
It should be borne in mind that our quo
tations represent xcholesale prices. Small bills, to
Planters and others , are filled at a shade higher
rates.
FINANCIAL.
The demand for Gold and Silver during the past
week has been very light; in fact, only nominal,
and prices have maintained an umisualiy steady
stand. Our quotations are given at the last hour
from lat V »v York dispatches:

Exchange oa a... York stands at par. There
has h«en but little doing either in Stocks, Bonds,
or Uncurrent Notes during the last week, and we
have therefore no change of moment to make in
our quotations, but the table on the next page has
been carefully revised, and corrected, and we
would call your attention to it.
PROVISIONS.
BACON.—The market has been quiet, with firm
prices during the major part of the week; but
owing to the decline in other marts, the trade here
has been to some degree affected, and we now
quote Western Shoulders 20@-21c. per lb.; Bibbed
Sides ‘*J2Lj(a23c.; Clear Sides 24(3.24Kc.; Hams 20
@£Bc.; Country Hog Round 21@22c.

FLOUR.—The supply of good Flour remains
light, and inquiry very good. The Granite and
Excelsior Mills, of this city, are both busy, endea
voring to supply the market with good Flour; the
decline in Wheat has caused a deduction in the
prices of Hour. Old Northern Flour ranges from
sll 005)14 00, according to grade (see price list).
Granite Mills, Superfine. sl4 50: Granite ills
Extra, sls 00; Granite Mills Family. sl7 0u • Ex

No sweet potatoes, except in retail way, aud these
command very high figures.
G-RAIN:

prices have not been able to hold their own. Bal
timore advices of the 4th inst.. show that prices
fa*ir buyers sc. per bush, on White Com. In this

COTTON - .
During the whole of the week the market has
been very unsettled. From all points we have re
ceived advices showing a dull week. Receipts and
sales have been hut nominal.
In regard to the coming crop, we deem it idle to
waste time, and perhaps bolster ourselves up with
false views, by speculating on things whereof we
know not as yet. Let croakers and enthusiasts each
have their say, we deem it prudent to wait awhile
and see what the prospects are. The following
summary cannot fail to be of interest to you: The
receipts of Cotton at all the ports since
September Ist, 1835, to August 3d. 1856,
2,004,441 ; Since close of war, 2,423,035; Re
ceipts last week. 0.6O8; against 5,701 the week
previous. 'Die weekly exports continue to increase
again, being 12.215 for this week, against 7.993
last week. The stock at all the ports at ibis date
is 330,18(5 bales. The total exports from the United
States since Sept. Ist, 1565, now reach 1,492,063
bales.
We close our Report on a depressed market, at
the following prices, BUYERS PAYING THE TAX:
Middling 27 a 28
Strict Middling 29 a 30
Good Middling 32 a
The custom in this city is that the buyer shall in
all cases pan the tax on Cotton. As there Is two
cents tax on some, and three cents on other Cotton,
there will be found a variation iu prices.

The following is from the Weekly Cotton
of William Bryce & Cos., dated New
Evening, August od, 1866:
Stnoe our last Circular, wo have advices **»y
mail to the 21st ult., of the Liverpool m«ket, I
being ono week later than reviewed in *ur last- I
Ihere hud been a fair demand throughout me
week for Cotton in that raarkes and </ong
Stapled varieties were all highe* Tb« failure
of the l’reston Bauking Comp*ny created
some distrust toward the o’ose of the week,
and the market closed quietly at 14@14& for
Middling Upland to Orleans- The sales had
footed up 71,000 bales, 91.GX1 beipg American;
45 500 bales went to the trade, 20.420 to export
ers, speculators taking th* balance. American
forming the usual proportion of the opera
tions. The receipts h#db«en exceedingly fight,
amounting to only 21,000 Dales of all kinds for
the week, of wide' f- w «re American. Ihe
I business in Sc* J<sl*ina» continued fair, and
price* were stiller on the medium grade*,
which keep advamMit* with Egyptian, which
grow* daily more aedree- and has advanced an
additional penny. The fttock shows a still
further reduction, the decrease bt*ing most
evident in the Lon? Stapled varieties. 34.6-10
Dales of Indian Cotton were tftken during the
we«*k lit fu 1 prices, uithoug 1 . pq fifHfme* wse
quotable. Ihe amount by m* wfi.de U
increasing over the amount Uk'*n the earlier
part of the season, und the comparative scar*
city id American as compared with Indian le
causing a more general consumption of the
latter The Bank Kate remained 10 per cent*
and the return for the week indicated a de
crease of £347.495. The failure of the Preston
Bank lug Company had considerable influence
in Cotton circles, as its influence would be felt
by many spinners and rnanutacturers- The
unhealthy condition of the money market ot
England, before the recent panic, grows aAily
more astonishing, and it is by no means certain
hat all the failures have yetocourred
lOur own market for the post week has been
better in tone and more regular in puce uian
for some time past. Exporters and spinners
have been buyers chiefly the former, and their
o )«-rations would have >‘een heavier it Sterling
Exchange wire no t so difficult of tale, and had
Gold ruled at me figures of last week. Holders
have displayed a great firmness of feeling, as
the sentiment is general that the return of
Europe to peace will advance prices. Every
prospect ot peace is no v apparent, as far as
can be judged from the advice! by the China,
and the dispatcher by the Cable, which have
h;<ve been meagre enough. Middlings have
been in fmr demand with a short supply offer
ng; while Low Middlings have been 111 abun
dant supply for the export demand, which
mostly tends in that direction. Long Staph and
Cottons have been met by a fairtrade demand,
and prices have varied according to grade and
length of staple. There has been seme move
ment in low grades, hlthongh prices are un
changed, the supply being yet excessive.
Gunny Cloth has been active and advancing
under trade, and speculative orders, and we
quote standard at currency. Rope
has continued steady, with A lair business
doing in Jute and Manilla.
Southern accounts continue of the favorable
tenor we mentioned last week, And refreshing
showers had fallen in many localities. Al
though too early to make any reliable esti
mate, we incline to the opinion that there will
be but little variation from 2,009 090 bales The
new tn\ of three rents per pound lias gone
into effect, and is applicable to all Cottons on
which the tax had not been paid on August Ist.
