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! Another lot of splendid wines will he offered for sale, his moruitig, by Day, Russell & Benjamin.

AUGUSTA PRICES CURRENT. »*PORT!* SPECIALLY FOR Ttt* PAIIY PRESS. Ofpicie daily pheas. / Augusta, G«., August 9, I860.) 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: £ f ? H 8 5 1 *' - i:w SNvl.. 140 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. BU'ITER.—The supply on sale is still limited; the demand continues good: prices range—Goshen, 40c @:>oc. Western, 30c.@35c. Country, 35c(tc40c. 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 celsior Mills YX (none in market), stMo(i; Excel sior Mills Superfine, sl4 50; Excelsior Mills Ex tra, sls 50. SUGAR—Stock ample; demand fair; prices firm. (See quotations.) LaKl>—Prices stiff; fair inquiry at 26(5 2dc. for Prime Leaf; and 22(ft24 for Pressed POTATOES.—The demand is hotter than the supply. Irish range from f5 00 tili 00 per barrel. No sweet potatoes, except in retail way, aud these command very high figures. G-RAIN: CORN.—The inquiry for Corn has been good, but 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 City prices now range: Frime White Com $1 Gs@ 1 7<l, Prim# Yallow $t50®155; Western Mixed sl4o@l 45. The stock of choice grades continues light. OATS—Are in good request, but limited supply. HAY. —Fuir demand, and stock light; prices have an upward tendency. We quote Northern $2 00(8) 2 25; Eastern $2 25 a)2 50. WHE AT.—Market steady, and a good demand at $2 5X§)2 75, wholesale, according to grade. SXJN’DIMES. DRY GOODS.—The demand has been quite brisk, and prices are steady.

ROPE.—This article has been in good demand, a.id has advanced. We quote liemp 23@25c. 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. TELEGRAPHIC. New York, Aug. B. —Gold 48Exchange nom inal.
