Suipmknt of Cotton.—The attention
of those interested is called tQ the an
nexed extracts from section sth, page
108, Internal Revenue Laws : “That it
shall bo uni twfnl, from aud after the Ist
day of September, 181)6, for any agent of
transportation to receive for shipment
any cotton unaccompanied by a permit
from the Collector or Assessor of the
District from which it is shipped ; and
such certificate shall be furuished to the
Collector of the District to which said
cotton is transported, and his permit
obtained before the delivery of said
cotton.
“Any person or persons violating the
above provision of this Act shall bt}
liable to a penalty of SIOO for each bale
so shipped, or to imprisonment for not
more than one year, or both. All ve
hicles employed in such conveyance or
transportation shall be liable to seizure
and forfeiture by proceedings in any
Court of the United States.”
On Babies; —We had the pleasure
yesterday, of seeing a very fine baby ;
unquestionably the finest of the season.
As baby shows are not in vogue here,
we can only commisserate those of our
readers who are not privileged to see
this nonpareil specimen of infantine
humanity.— Charleston Courier.
Any number of fine babies are to be
seen up here, and at any time, brother.
There is one in the Ward we live in
that would astonish you. What do you
think of six or more being born in a
neighborhood in three consecutive
nights ?
The Lecture at Masonic Hai.i, To-
Niciit.— Egypt, dark and terrible—
Sinai, with its living fire —Palestine,
soft and beautiful iu the evening light,
yet red as if “stained with the blood of
redemption” these are the sacred
lands—the historic centres of our faith,
through which an eye-witness of their
scenery will conduct us for three suc
cessive evenings. All are interested.
Let all attend.
Eccentricities of Simile Life.—
An old bachelor recently invited a
young lady from a neighboring city to
take refreshments at a saloon. Without
consulting the preference of the fair
guest, he ordered two stews, and upon
their appearance smoking hot, the lady
declined to partake, saying she “never
ate stews.” Her gallant companion
thereupon made way with her share and
his own, “cleaned the plate and licked
the platter clean,” and escorted his hun
gry friend to her home. What mon
sters some of these bachelors are ?
Recorder's Court. —But few cases
up yesterday. A young married man
from the rural district, for a slight vioj
lation of the 18th Section, was fined $1
and costs.
Three freedmen were before the Court
for a slightly aggravated violation of
the same Section. Two were fined $5
and sentenced to 15 days on the streets
each. The third one was discharged on
paying $1 and costs.
New Horse Shoe. —A horse shoe has
been invented which is in two parts or
lifts, the first being nailed to the foot in
the usual manner, and the second se
cured to the first. The calks have
wedge-shaped heads, counter sunk on
the inner surface of the outer shoe-plate,
and thus can be renewed without taking
the shoe from the horse’s feet. The
contrivance ia very simple, and the shoe
can be sold at low rates.
Sacrilege. — St. Paul’s Episcopal
Church was entered yesterday about
noon, and robbed of a carpet, several
lamps, etc. I The party was seen going
out of the back of the" Churchyard with
the articles. The carpet and lamps
have been recovered by the Police, who
are on the track of the thief.
Day, Russell & Benjamin will'sell
this morning, a variety of articles, con
sisting of groceries, wines, furniture,
dry goods, etc. Those in want of sudh
articles should call in there at the ap
pointed time.
Ci.tNen Rifles. —The original mem
bers of this popular company are re
quested to meet next Tuesday evening.
Business of importance is to be trans
acted.
H. Caffin, being obliged to move, is
determined to sell out his entire stock,
consisting of meat safes, bird cages,
second-hand furniture, etc. See his
advertisement.
D. R. Wright & Co.—Messrs. D. R.
Wright & Cos. have received a large lot
of goods, to which they invite the atten
tion of the public generally, and will
sell on the lowest terms.
Barbf.cue.— A barbecne will be given
at R. Philips’, in Hamburg, S. C., to
morrow, Saturday.

REMARKS.
The market here, at the date of oar last Report,
was exceedingly dull; during the past week busi
ness has become a little more brisk, and although
the Fall trade has not yet act in, atill we have in
dications of lively tranaactiona before many weeks.
At the present time we deem farther preface un
necessary, and proceed to make a few remarks on
the ieadiug articles of trade in the Augusta Mar
ket.
wr It nhould be borne in mind that our quo- I
tntioHM represent wholeeale price a. Small bille , to
Planters 9nd others, are filled at 9 shade higher
rates.
FINANCIAL.
The demand for Cold nnd Silver during the past
week lias been quite fluctuating. Influenced by
the probability of a war between Prussia nnd
France, Specie rose rapklly, until 1t was bfying at

by the (’able, of the amicable adjustment of affairs
in Europe, Specie again declined, and still has a
downward tendency. When we close our Report,
at the last hour from New York dispatches, prices
show a decline in jGuld ou lust week's Report of

either in Stocks, Bonds, or Uncurrent Notes during
the week, and we have therefore no important
change to make iA our quotations. The table on
the next page has been carefully corrected, and
we call your attention to it.
BACON.—JThe market has been well supplied,
and a moderate demand. Prices, however, favor
buyers about l/ jc ? op our last quotations. There
is a great deal' of unsmoked Bacon 6n the market,
known by the name of Cumberland, which sells a
little lower than smoked, buyers generally smoke
this Bacon themselves; however,the regular staple
kinds oi Bacon stand at the figures quoted, viz.:

Boyle, Miller & Cos., Cincinnati, and If. 11. liannis
& Cos., Philadelphia, that there has been an advance
in the Northern market, although our City trade
has not yet been affected by it.
IRON. —Fair supply with moderate demand, at
the figures on next page.
COTTON.
.At the date of our last Report the market closed
dull, 21 >@29 covering the ground. TTiere has been
considerable excitement in Cotton during the
week, prices shifting; sales have been made of
Middlings from 29 to :30c. (buyers paying the tax),
and the latter has been stifly asked. On Tuesday
the market was easier; but yesterday trade.p'as
.very dull and drooping.' I/rttesStaccountfe’from New
York and Philadelphia show the state of market
there to be Middling uplands Very dull at 34c.
The, reduction in the rate of the Bank pf England
to 8 per cent, will in due time fcause increased ac
tivity In Cotton, and unless a heavy portion of the
capital in the hands of speculator lias teen' ab
sorbed by the recent failures in England, we think
we may look for higher prices of Cotton there. The
heavy stock in England now may prevent'any
large advance at present. The receipts in this City
have been very light, both by wagon and rail
road. We close bur'Rcport on a quiet and droop
ing market, at the following rates, the BUYERS

Wo take the following' extracts from the
Weekly Cotton Circular of William Bryce &
Cos., dated New York, August i7, > 1^66:
Mail advices to August 4t.h have bqen re
ceived since our last Circular,.one week.later
than mail advices therein reviewed. Sales of
the week had footed up 000 bales, 44,750
going to the trade, 24,780 to^exporters, specu
lators taking the balance; 24,780 bales of Ame
rican wore included in the sales, the trade
taking 19.080 bales, export, and speculation the
rest- Indian Cotton had continued in request,
37,740 bales being taken, agaiuat 24.700 bales of
American. Sea Islands had continued in fair
demand, and were perhaps a shade firmer.
Egyptian continued to grow scarcer and still
dearer. The imports had been quite heavy,
footing up 56.331 bales, 10,585 being American.
The high rate of interest hsd caused muOh
and WAs working of -course against
any activity in any of the great commodities.
Good stapled Cottons, as we. have .remarked in
previous Circulars, are scarce in Liverpool,
and command Ikgher relative figures than
superior grades.
Our own market, as will ho soon from the
resume given above, has been drooping and
active in' turn, but low in price throughout.
For two months a spinning And speculative
demand sustained prices here above Liver
pool. the speculation basing on short
crop prospects induced by t he late Spring and
heavy “grass.” Our stock kept increasing,
however, and crop prospects, too, very mate
rially brighten. The weight of our large stock
made itself felt in direct proportion with the
improving prospect*, and price* have settled
♦o a point where shippers can relieve the
burthen which grows heavier as new Cotton
draw.*, nearer. The present decline will act
favorably on the price of new Cotton, which
will be to Home extent influenced by the
amount of old stock we carry over, which
must be quite considerable, as nearly 300000
bales are now at the portH. The demand dur
ing the week has been for shipping exclusively,
and good stapled Cottons have been the most
salable, even if lower in grade than are gene
rally desired. Texas and Mississippi Cottons
have become much reduced in sto'-k..
Gpupy Cloth haw continued to advance, and
as it U mostly in speculative hands may go
much higher. We doubt if any considerable
amount could be bought for less than 37>£@-38
for standard. Hope has likewise advanced;
Richardson’s Kentucky Leaf Rope is held at
and is largely sold ahead of produc
tion Other varieties are in fair supply and
equal to any probable demand. The deter
mination of the Hon. Secretary of the Treasu
ry f° have all temporary loans withdrawn will
throw some $6.8,000 (X)0 of currency on the
street, and excite lively speculation in many
branches of trade. Crop accounts continue
exceedingly favorable; some complaints are
being made 0/ tbq plant “shedding.” but the
general tenor of advices is satisfactory. We
congratulate our friends on the work of the
Philadelphia Convention—the People have
taken into their own hands the question of
Kcqpnsjruuiiou, and. there we am -willing to
leave it.
