This institution has been paying, for tho past year, fifteen cents on the dollar for the Certificates of Deposit which it issued during the war in exchange for Confederate money. This per centage has been paid on the recommendation of a committee, composed of Dr. Joseph Milli gan, Josiah Sibley, Esq., and W. J. Owens, Esq., throe disinterested citisensof Augusta, of high character and position, who exam ined and valued all the assets of the Bank. This valuation did not amount to fifteen per cent, of our circulation, but the com mittee estimated that we might ba able to pay this per centage on the supposition that many of- the bills had been lest or de stroyed. "Since their examination, all the Exchange, Coin, Bullion, Bank Bills, Bonds, Stocks, Coupons,- Cotton and Merchandise held by the Bank have been sold. Some of these have proved to be less valuable than the estimate of the committee, and some more; but on the whole an advance of. nearly twenty per cent, has been realised ; so that the Bank will be able to pay eighteen oents in the dollar for its change bills, unless the number destroyed shall be found to be smaller than anticipated. No larger per cqhtage than this can .be paid hereafter, as we have nothing now to ap preciate. We have recently investigated tho amount received by the Bank for its Certificates, counting the Confederate money at its valne when Toceived, and find that it was less than.eighteen cents in the dollar; so that this Bank will pay hereafter not only to its depositors, bnt to its bill holders, the full amount received. The new Savings Bank of Augusta, char tered by the last Legislature, will redeem the change bills of the “Augusta Savings Bank,’’ at their Office, N0.223 Broad street; H. H.

The PAIN KILLER is a purely vegeta ble eompound ; and while it is a most e - cient Remedy for Pain, it is a perfectly safe Medicine even in the most unskillful bands. FOR SUMMER COMPLAINT, Or any other form of bowel disease in chil dren or Adults, it is an almost certain cure, and has, without doubt, been more success ful in caring the various kinds of CHOLERA than any other known remedy, or even the most skillful physician. In India, Africa and China, where this dreadful disease is ever moro or less prevalent, the PAIN KILLER is considered by the natives, as well as Eu ropean residents in those climates, a SURE REMEDY. Asa Tonic for the Stomach, it is unrivalled. A few doses will relieve se vere cases of INDIGESTION, and it is often a perfect cure for DYSPEPSIA, in its most aggravated forms. Its tonioand stimulating properties, arousing the system to vigor and action, render it a most effec tual cure for COLDS AND COUGHS, when ttaed according to directions. Fbr external applications, it is unsur passed by any medical preparation. Rheumatism and Neuralgic Affections are quickly relieved and often cured by it. Any Soreness in the Musolos or Joints can be relieved by its application. It cures in stantly the most violent TOOTHACHE. It should always be kept near at band, to be used in cases of severe BURNS or SCALDS. If applied immediately, accord ing to directions, it will give Instant relief, and prevent blistering.

One Captain writes us: “I have made several voyages—often with emi grants, and though I keep a good Medicine Chest, and I have several times had a good deal of sickness on board, I have found the FAIN KILLER so efficient in all cases, as to entirely preclude the use of all other Medicines.” Prices—2s Cents, 50 Cents, and $1 per Bottle.
