Wound us, last evening,
skT» i*a? «s-gifork papers.
Stock Feed,
Ton tHt Lapies. —Through the col
umns of that ably conducted and de
servedly popular journal, the Louisville
Courier, a lady seeks to have a friendly
talk with the ladies of our land upon
questions of vital importance, both to
our moral and national character. Be
ginning with the assertiou that for many
months she does not remember to have
taken Hito her hands a paper which did
not contain one or more recitals of woe
and degradation revolting to all -that is
good and pure in the heart, she says the
question naturally arises, what can be
the cause -of all this wickedness ? The
response has come to her that the whole
female sex are, in a measure, respousi.
ble, as those who carry an inPuence in,
and even far beyond, the circle of their
immediate acquaintance.
She says she does not ask (or her sex
a voice in the halls of State, or a ballot
at the polls ; but she does ask that many
of the precious moments, now multiply
ing themselves into hours, which are
spent in perverting and destroying the
beautiful adornments which God has
jPya'i them, should be spent by mothers
plauting in the hearts of their sons the
true principles and virtues which will
render them discerning patriots at the
polls, and moral, upright citizens at all
times. She admonishes ladies to leave
to the African the frizzled hair as their
Maker intended, and brush their own
long silken tresses in the modest style
adorning the true'woman ; then to dis'
charge, to she best of their ability, the
duty of training the immortal spirits in
trusted to their care. It was not be
cause Cornelia of old was a leader of
fashion that the Romans erected to her
memory a monument more enviable than
the beautiful Helen achieved, but be
cause she had trained two jewels who
were ornaments to the eoarttry.
She thinks that a too great desire to
imitate reigns in the hearts of her sex,
and she estimates that perhaps there is
one out of every twenty of-the elegantly
dressed ladies on our streets .who is pe
cuniarily able thug to add to the coffers
of our merchants of every class ; then
there are eight twentieths who, regard
less of the hard-earned wages of a bus"
band or a father, are trying-to imitate
the heiress of thousands; there may be
four twentieths who are thus wasting
their own honorably-earned money. - ; but
then what are the base means to which
the other seven twentieths of her sex re
sort, in order that they may equal, if not
excel, the heiress in richness ol apparel
and in indolence ?
She declares that reform in the ex
travagance of both sexes is important,
is necessary to our life as a virtuous
people, and it cannot efliciently begin
with one alone, for she would only be
marked as odd and eccentric. It must
be made by a number of ladies of
wealth and position, who can then give
the noble reason which actuates them,
and by the silent workings of .their
power, in a few short years they will
achieve -more than the eloquence of
Clay or Webster ever gained. Think,
then, how rapidly homes could be made
to rise (or our maimed defenders, our
orphans and widows, schools for the
ignorant, and hospitals for the suffering.
This “amendment” will rapidly abol
ish the mercenary trade in matrimony,
because then there will be no necessity
for ladies and gentlemen each to con
sult the assessor's list for the value of
the one they love.
And, in conclusion, this lady appeals
to her sisters, to awake to a lull sense
of their duty and its importance. She
beseeches them to let the work of re
form begin at once; at once let the
light be kindled, and it will soon extend
to the shores washed by the peaceful
Pacific, the stormy Alantic, and to the
sanded strand of the “sunny South.”
England’s domains will catch the spirit
of light and reflect it from her icy peaks
to the hamlets and cities of the “ Old
World,” whose people will universally
don the imperishable gems of virtue,
love, and charity. Only let these be
come “the fashion,” and they will not
need to be changed every three months ;
for the longer they are worn the more
beautiful and beautifying they become.
What peace of mind will then smooth
the wrinkles from the brows of our
fathers and mothers, as well as brighten
the eye and tinge the cheeks of our
brothers and sisters.
It is that lady’s earnest prayer that
the Spirit of God may carry these
truths to every heart, and we say, Amen.

REPORTED SPECIALLY POR THE DAILY PRESS.
Office Daily treas, {
Augusta, Ga., September 13, I860.)
•REMARKS.
At the time of Report of 6th Inst., trade was
exceedingly dull, but during the pWt trade,
as a general thing, has become more active, though
there are still a few leading articles for which there
is but little demand. There is every indication to
ahow that the Fall trade bos now commenced, and
that our City will soon resound with the hum of
business. Our merchants, in every branch of busi
ness, are making extensive preparations for the
trade of the season; arrivals of fresh Goods are
daily occurrences, and store-houses seem almost to
groan beneath the weight of supplies within them.
We respectfully call your attention to the follow
ing lYices Current of the City of Augusta. You
may rest assured, that the greatest care has been
taken in compiling them, und that they may be
relied upon as correct quotations.
It should be borne in mind that our quo
tations represent wholesale prices. Small bills , to
Planters and others, are filled at a shade higher
rates .
FINANCIAL.
The demand for Gold and Silver since our last
has been almost entirely nominal, owing to the
scarcity of money. Our report closed on Gold
buying 143, selling 146; Silver buying 135, and
selling 140. During the week we know of no
remaining steady at these figures.
And at the hour when w’e close our Review, being
governed by the latest New York dispatches, we
show a decline in Gold in this city on last week’s
Report of lc., viz.:
Gold, buying 143
Gold, selling 145
Silver, buying 135
Silver, selling 140
Exchange on New York stands at par. Georgia
Rail Road Bonds par and >4 interest. But little doing
either in Stocks, Bonds, or Uncurrent Notes during
the week, and we have therefore no important
change to make in our quotations. The table on
the next page lias been carefully corrected, and
we call your attention to it.
PROVISIONS.
BACON.—The market is well stocked, with but a
linn l ■:•<! demand. In fact Bacon brings higher
prices in other markets, in proportion , than it
docs bore, ami although prices seem disposed to
be a little easier, still we do not feel authorized to
alter our quotations. The supply, although still
heavy, i becoming diminished, and we do not re
gard this tendency to a eecline as being the legiti
mate action of trade, but rather to some outside
transaction, such as sales of large quantities of
damaged Bacon at auction. We have no real
changes to make in our Price List this week, as
the market already betokens firmness at prices
given. There have been no sales of importance,
none but consumers seeming disposed to buy. There
is a great deal of unsmoked Bacon on 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 of Bacon stand at the figures quoted, viz.:

the figures on next page.
COTTON.
Our last Report closed on a quiet market, 27@30
covering the ground. During the past week the
market, as a general thing, has evinced more signs
of life than has been seen in the Cotton mart for
many months. A much better feeling has perva
ded the market, and in all instances holders have
been firm. The demand has been good, although
there has not been much Cotton shoved forward
for sale. Very little of the Cotton sold this week
is of this year's growth. The total receipts of
Cotton in this City, up to date, from Ist instant,
sum up 700 bales'; the sales for the same time
amount to 1047 bales. The receipts in New York,
from Sept. 1 to Sept. 8, were 6,036 bales.

We make the following extracts from the
Weekly Cotton Circular of William Bryce &
Cos., dated New Y’ork, September 7,1866:
O.ir market for the week has been tolerably
active, although devoid oi excitement, holders
meeting the oilers of buyers with great free
dom. The general disposition seems to buy
as little oi the old crop as possible, and to
merely purchase now what is absolutely nec
essary till the new crop fairly begins to arrive.
The demand has been a general one, but most
active for even running lists, which command
higher figures than our quotations. Good
•tapled Cottons are in like request, and to th< m
the same remark concerning prices are appli
cable.
F'stimates of the crop continue to be made;
2.000 000 bales continues a g eneral conservative
estimate, and some Cotton lias been sold “to
arrive,” based on this supposed yield, 30c.
currency for delivery on December 1 and 15,
and 31@32 for November delivery of Middling
Georgia Cotton of New York classification.
The probabilities of the crop overrunning or
underrunning these figures seem so evenly
balanced that operations of this kind are less
numerous than would be the case if there were
any data whereby a reliable estimate could be
made. •
The present is oar first Circular for the year
1?66-67, and we avail ourselves of the oppor
tunity to make a few general remarks to our
many friends on subjects of mutual interest
connected with the crop now preparing for
market. Concerning the amount of this crop,
we claim no one at present can make any re
liable figures; but in this and our previous
Circulars we have given all the rumors and es
timates that reach us, varying from one to
three millions of bales. Only three times, in
the history of Cottoo, has the American crop
reached 4.000 000 bales, and when estimates of
a half crop are given, somewhat less than
2,000,000 bales is mean’. While it is true
that 4 000.000 bales were but three times raised,
the increase of the crop from 1819 to 1860
shows an average of a little more than four
percent yearly, and the consumption a simi
lar rate of increase. During the past year the
average weekly consumption in the United
States has been about 12,000 bales, while of
American Cotton abroad about 25 000 bales; to
supply which demand 1-021.000 bales are want
ed, not allowing for any increase of consump
tion, us these figures are outside ones. Against
this probable demand we have the following
supply: Stock at present in the United States.
275,000 bale*; in England.not counting what is
at sea. 325 000 bales of American, which makes
600000 bales at present to be counted, while
the amount on the continent of Europe would
certainly swell the total to 650 000 bales, count
ing what is now ailoat. This leaves 1.274.000
bales to be ra’sed for the present crop. We
give these figures to show that there is no im
mediate fear of a Cotton famine nor panic
prices.
Mix-packed Cottons, or bales containing two
grades, were almost unknown before the war,
b it are now, in aM the gr< a’ Cotton markets, as
significant as Ordinary or .Middling. We would
advise all our planter friends to exercise great
care, and assort their Cotton before bal ng
with the greatest nicety; the better price which
such Cotton will bring will abundantly pay for
the extra trouble If any such bales be ship
ped. it is better to advise the factor ot such
bales than to run the risk of their rejection,
and enable him to dispose of the property in
telligently. The pursuance of this course will
always be profitable to the ship] ct*
