Suot Through Mistake. —Yesterday
morning, a gentleman, his son, and a
negro boy, were making their way to
the Market at this place—they coming
in a wagon from the neighborhood of
Graniteville. When near the' Kaolin
Works, the party was halted by a man
on horseback, whom the gentleman took
to be the leader of a band of robbers.
With this view of the matter, he bade
his son drive on, and in the meantime,
sought to clear the way with the assist
ance of a double-barrelled gun, which
attempted to be discharged, fortunately
for him at whom it was aimed, hung
firr.
Discovering that their chief was about
to be fired upon by the man in the
wagon, the men who accompanied the
former opened upon the latter from
right and left. Doubly assured in his
own mind that the intent was to kill or
rob him, his son, and his servant, the
countryman laid whip to his horse, in
order to escape injury. Where so many
were firing, this was an impossibility.
The countryman received a painluh
though not a very serious wound in his
right leg, besides having his clothing
badly cut up by the balls. His son and
the negro were uninjured.
It appears that the man. on horse
back, who ordered the party to halt,
was but discharging the duty of a
patrol guard, now perambulating that
District for the purpose of arresting
such as violate the lajvs and disturb the
public peace. The Market men were
not advised of the existence of any such
patrol guard, consequently did not halt.
The patrol, in halting the party, should
have given his reason therefor. This
may have been done for aught we know,
but in the midst of the excitement, they
may not have heard the explanation.
Hence the shooting and the results
thereof. We trust that mistakes of this
kind will not again occur, particularly
when attended with such evil conse
quences.
The Mountain Signal,.—The Moun
tain Signal, a weekly paper, published
at Dablonega, Ga., every Saturday
morning, comes to us in anew dress.
The Signal is a sprightly paper, and
its present appearance is decidedly
creditable.
The Signal presents an excellent
means to our merchants of communi
cating with the people in the Mountain
District of Georgia, and it seems that
persons interested in the ownership ot
“gold lands’ - in that region—becoming
more and more noteworthy—should sub
scribe to the paper referred to, inas
much as it contains items of local
raining interest. An advertisement of
the Signal appears elsewhere, which
see.
Correction.—ln a paragraph in yes
terday’s Press, we stated that Mr. Isaac
Levy was the agent at this point (or the
Columbia, Charlotte and Raleigh line of
Rail Roads. It should have been Mr.
Lewis Levy. However, Mr. Isaac Levy
is the agent for the Atlantic, Seaboard
and Roanoke route, via Wilmington, N.
C. On this route baggage is checked
clear through to New York, and sleeping
cars, finished in the handsomest manner,
'on the entire line. This, undoubtedly,
is the cheapest, best, and most expedi
tious route for travellers to take now.
Call on Mr. Isaac Levy, at the stereos
Levy & Jacobs, and all information ne
cessary can be obtained.
Death of Mn. Sen lighter.—We re
gret to hear of the death, in New York,
of Professor August S. Schlichter, late
of the Wesleyan Female College, of this
city. Mr. S. was Professor of Music in
the Institute, and participated in the
exercises of the late commencement)
when he left on a trip for the benefit
of his health. He died on the Bth inst.,
of pulmonary consumption. Macon

County Court. —The following cases
were disposed of in the County Court
room, yesterday:
Three negroes were arraigned on the
charge of simple larceny. One was
charged with having stolen a kuife. He
was discharged. A second one for
stealing a goose, was committed to jail
to await trial. And the third one, for
stealing corn, shared a like-fate.
Still Renovating. —Yesterday, wo

give them a call.
BRAN, Etc.
An Old House—But New Goods.
—ln a recent perambulation we stepped
into the store of our friend, Mr. A.
Stevens, who is one of the oldest estab
lished merchants in the City of Augusta.
Ilis house was opened in the year 1838,
and he has continued it, without a
partner, ever since. Ho has a large stock
of groceries and provisions, and particu
larly of bacon.
We hope that his success in business
will always be commensurate with his
merits.
An advertisement in another column
will introduce our readers more particu
larly to Mr. Stevens" establishment,
which we take particular pleasure in
commending to public patronage. He
does not wish us to say anything about
a very nice liquid present he sent us
yesterday, therefore we have concluded
not to.
The Opera in Richmond, Va.—The
Giiioxi and Srsixi Troupe to Retubx.
This excellent company may be expected
in Richmond about the first of October.
Mr. Max Strakosch announces that he
will open the season in Baltimore on
September the 18th, and from thence
will travel South. The company consists
of Mine. Gliioni and Mile. Canissa,
Mijie, Patti Strakosch, Signori Irfre and
Errani, Signor Marra, and Signori Su
sini and Coietti. The chorus will con
sist of twenty-five well-trained voices,
and the orchestra will be complete in all
respects. Some engagements for new
artists are yet pending in Europe, and
will he announced shortly. Particulir
attention wjll be given to tbe production
of “Fra Diavolo,” “Crispino e la Co
mare,” and “L’Africaine,” which latter
work will be given with all the accesso

Richmond (Fa.l Dispatch.
We hope that the troupe will not
slight our city on its passage Sogth,
The flattering reception which it met
with here last Winter ought to be suffi
cient inducement for another visit the
approaching season.
Since writing the above we learn tha*
the agent of the Opera Troupe is in our
city, making arrangements for the ap
pearance here early in the season. The
indications are that there will be no
lack of amusements when the season
fairly opens.
Kunkel’s Nightingale Minstrels have
already left Richmond, Va., for a
Southern tour, which the Dispatch, of
that city, says they will extend probably
as far as Savannah, Ga., and cn passant
of course, Augusta, Ga. “Music hath
charms,"’ and musical entertain
ments are generally very popular with
our community.
City Court.—Yesterday was sen
tence day in the City Court.
Mr. Lemon, for having committed an
assault and battery, was sentenced to
pay a fine of SIOO.
Mr. Stegall, for a like, though less
aggravated, offence, was sentenced to
pay a fine of S3O.
Two negro boys, convicted of larceny
from the house, w eye sentenced, one to
three and the other to five months in
the chain gang.
The Court then adjourned.
Citrate of Magnesia.—Messrs. Bar
rett & Carter have favored us with a few
bottles of this agreeable beverage. If
ail medicines were as pleasant as this,
drug stores would become popular places.
Accompanying the bottles was a note,
saying that the contents were to be
taken like the advertisement, according
to directions, and expressing a hope,

AUGUSTA PRICES CURRENT.
REPORTED SPECIALLY FOR THE DAILY PRESS.
Office Daily Press, t
AmfUKt*, fiSo, August 30, 1866.)
REMARKS.
When we last had tbe pleasure of informing you
of the state of affairs in this city, business seemed
to have reawakened to a slight degree, but during
the past week it has dfopj»ed off to its former
letliurgy. The country merchants have, for the
most part, remained at home, hindered from travel
ling by the receut heavy rains ami consequent bad
condition of the roads. Many of the business men
of Augusta are absent, in the North, preparing for
the now fast approaching Fall trade. Hut, despite
the dullness of trade, in a commercial point of
view, the march of renovation goes steadily on,
and the stores begin one by. one to look livelier, to
throw off the rust of old paint, and come out revivi
tied with ueV.
For the major part of this week we have been
blessed with heavy and copious showers of rain,
which, although almost too late, it is hoped may
yet benefit to some degree the prospeetd df ti crop,
and deeming farther preface unnecessary, we
proceed to make a lew remarks on the leading
articles of trade in the Augusta Market.
It should be borne in mind that our quo
tations represent wholesale prices. Small bills , to
Planters and others , are fitted at a shade hiyher
rates.
FINANCIA-L.
The demand for Gold and Silver since our last
has been but nominal. Our report closed on Gold
buying 1.46 and selling 1.48; Silver buying 1.88
and selling 1.43. These prices have remained*
steady, with but a slight variation, and iliat a ten
dency to decline. The receipts of news on Tuesday,
per the cable, of the ratification of peace between
Austria and Prussia, has had a tendency still farther
to depress the market, and at the hour when we
close our Review, being governed by the latest
New York dispatches, we show a decline in Gold
in this city on iast week’s Report of viz.;
Gold, buying 146

Fxchange on New York stands at par. Georgia

either in Stocks, Bonds or Uncurrent Notes during
the week, nnd we have therefore no important
change to make in our quotations. The table on
the next page has been carefully corrected, and
we call your attention to it.

COTTON.
At the date of our last Report [the market clbAetf
on a quiet and drooping market, 27®29c. covering
the ground. During the past week the market, as
a general thing, has been quint, with a tendency to.
reduction of prices. Oir Saturday and Monday
Cotton waa a little firmer, a better feeling seeming
to pervade the market, butpricos-remained steady..
On Tuesday, owing pbrhaps to (he rain' the market
was dull, notwithstanding the news of peace being
ratified. Yesterday the market was very dull and
drooping; but few transactions werfe made. Tele
graphic advices fropi New-. York and( to-day show a
decline and increased dullness there, and we close
our Report on a dull and depressed market, at the
following rates, the BUYER FAYING THE tan,
viz.:
a 27 a
Strict Middling ...28 a ..
Good Middling 2H a
We extract the following from the Cotton
Circular of W. C. Watts & Cos., dated Liverpool,
August 10:
The sales of the up 51.650 bales, ot
which 29,360 were taken by the trade, 20.570
declared for export, and 1,750 on speculation,
included in the sales were 16,090 American, of
which only 390 were on speculation, and the
balance for consumption. Imports were 51 326
bales, of which 21,202 were American. The
stock now slands.at 893..000 bales, a decrease of
3,830 on last week, against 272,740 last year, au
inorense of 524,700. Counting the Chino piculs
as half bales, the Cotton now at sea for Great
Britain sums up 6*23,00rf bales (an increase of
4.500 on last week), against 506,000 last year, an
’increase of 117.000, which added to the in
crease in stock, makes the total apparent ex
cess, as-compared with last year, 641,760. The
total apparent supply, here and at sea, now
adds up 1,521,590 bates, or 670 more Allan shown
by our last report. Referring particularly to
American Cotton, it will be seen from our
tables that the present stock is 362,340 bales,
w hich is 362,340 bales less than last week; the
quantity at sea has also decreased from 30 000
to 23,000, showing a total reduction during the
week iu the apparent supply of 13,190 bales.
Referring again to the business of the past
week, it will be seen that the actual exports
were large, say 25,849 bales, against an average
George T.
of 14.552 for the last six weeks. The purchases
by the trade were, however, very small, say
20,910 bales against an average of 50 846 for the
last six weeks, and 46 250 per week since Ist
January last. The limited trade demand is
muinly'due to the continued high rat*' of di.+
count, which operates seriously against ship
ments of goods to distant markets. There
saeniH also to be a very general opinion among
Itlie trade that fcho condition of the money
maiket will force holders of Cotton to supply
the demand freely at current rates, ana by
purchasing only to supply immediate wants
they cati force down prices. *1 here seems to
be no doubt but there is a large number of
orders for goods only awaiting a reduction iu
the bank rate to be given out, and thus create
a very active business at Manchester, and a
large trade demand here for the raw material.
We should here add. that whilst trade at Man
chester the past week was quiet, and prices in
•pme instances weaker, there is no accumula
tion of stock and no apparent pressure to sell.
Advices from Bombay report small ship
ments, say 16,000 to 20,000 bales in July, against
an average of about 124,000 per month the pre
ceding six months. The sowing season had not
commenced on the 7th ultimo, and it was
generally supposed the low prices current here
would check production. From Egypt we have
favorable accounts of the growing crop. From
New York we have telegrams to the 6th inst.,
quoting Middling Uplands at 35>£c. and Gold
at 147%.
