The Planter*’ Hotel—A Delightful
Ooeasion.
The old and well-known establish
ment which has gained such popularity,
under the name of “The Planters’
Hotel,” and under the management of
former proprietors, having changed
hands, was re-opened yesterday by the
nhw landlord, Mr. T. 8. Nickerson. The
occurrence was made the occasion for a
display of the landlord’s qualifications
as a hotel keeper, and, as we shall see,
in the sequel, the verdict was one of
general and unqualified approval. Quite
a large number of invited guests were
present by invitation, and presented
with an opportunity of examining the
.bouse and its attractions. It has been
fitted up in the most convenient ang.
comfortable style fbrthe accommodation
of guests; and the elegance displayed is
well calculated to attract a large share
of the hotel patronage in this section of
the Union. The floors are covered with
most beautiful carpets; the bed-room
sets are neat and arranged to suit the
comfort of the guests, while the parlors
are splendidly fitted up with rich velvet
carpets, and are respleudant with su
perb mirrors. The table fixtures are all
new, and exhibit, as indeed does every
thing about the house, the exceeding
good taste of the proprietor.
The decoratious have been done un
der the superintendence of Barrow, A
Coffin, of this City, gentlemen who un
derstand their business and know bow
to adorn a house.
Iu the culinary department everything
is well arranged with a strict regard to
cleanness, and a thorough knowledge of
the “art of cookery,” as a glance through
its arrangements, and a seat at the tqble
during meal hours, will satisfy any oue.
Mr. Nickerson has secured the services
of our well known citizen, Mr. L. S.
Morris, formerly of the Globe Hotel, as
Gene-al Superintendent and Caterer,
Under his superintendency, everythin®
is bouud to go ahead like clock work
and to redound to the benefit and satis
faction of the patrons of the Hotel.
In the office are Dr. Duncan and J.
A. Goldstein, Esq., courteous and at
tentive gentlemen, who will delight in
registering the names of a large num
ber of day and transient boarders, and
in giving them every facility for enjoy
iu® themselves during the stay in the
house. Polite and attentive waiters
a-e, also, ready at all times to wait on
the guests, and to contribute to their
comfort.
So much for a brief reference to the
fittings up and general arrangements of
the house. We only regret that lime
and space forbid a more extended no
tice, such a notice as the place and the
occasion deserve; but it the public and
travellers through the City will try the
Planters’, they will agree with us that
it and its gentlemanly proprietor de
serve all that we have said or can say
in commendation of them.
At about three o'clock P.M., a large
number of invited guests, among whom
the Press of the City was well represent
ed, sat down to a most bountiful feast,
beautifully displayed, and temptingly
arranged. That our readers may form
some idea of the fea9t we here append
the

At the appropriate lime the wine was

often one’s privilege to enjoy. Toasts
were drank and responded to, and
speeches made, whi’e hilarity and gene
ral good feeling sparkled with the
sparkling wines around the festive
board. We are reminded here of the
brevity of space and time at our print
ers’ command, and of the importance of
brevity at this point. Hence we are
compelled to close our account of this
interesting occasion here. In conclusion
we offer the following additional senti
ment :

prietor plant the seeds of good feeling
on this occasion, and realize from it *
bountiful crop of good will, and reap a
golden harvest of patronage.

Removal of the Uksulink Academy
from Columbia.—We learn from an
exchange that the Ursuliue Community
of Columbia, whose establishment was
destroyed at the time of Sherman’s visit
to that city, have, upon the solicitation
of the Right Reverend Bishop of Mo-
consented to locate in Tuscaloosa,
AJtp and open an academy there for the
education of young ladies.
What a Little Girl Did.—The first
prize ia the Befhesda, Rockbridge coun-

-awarded to Miss Fannie E. Firebaugh,
who recited in fifteen Sabbaths, fifty
eight thousand Jour hundred and sixteen
verses from the Bible. Cannot some of
our bright eyed, Sabbath School-going,
Augusta girls equal, aye, more, excel
that? , 0 . , T
Destruction of the St. Paul’s
Roman Catholic Cathedral.—Last
Saturday night, the Catholic Cathedral,
in Now York, was burned. Before the
flames had gotten good bold on the
edifipe, a crowd pt anxious citizens, led
pn by the. priests attached to the cathe
dral, pulled up the aisle carpets, tore
down the chandeliers, carried out the
oil paintings, picked up the silver candle
sticks, and- rescued all the rich and
costly paraphernalia of the altar, all of
these being carried into the pastor’s
residence.
While thus employed, Fathers Mc-
Geeban and Mulleu narrowly escaped
severe injury by the fall of the large
lamp of the Sanctuary, which was sus
pended over the grand Altar. . These
sacred vessels and vestments were
worth not less than $20,000. One set
of vestments were brought from Paris
by Archbishop Hughes, and were worth
about $3,000.
Before thirty minutes had elapsed
after the discovery of the fire, the towers
on the Mott street front were vn§t pil
lars of fire, and the roof having fallen
in?jvith a crash, the entire interior of
the Church was filled with 'burning
timbers which soon caused the destruc
tion of every parole of wood-work
therein.

OFFICE DAILY PRESS, {
AugustA, Go., October 11, 18*6.)
KEMARKB.
When list wa had the pleasure of notifying you
of the State of the market. In Augusta, business
had assumed a more lively aspect, which still con
tinues. The week ending to-day haa been an
active one, as far aa regards general commercial
items; but the demand fbr Cotton haa been much
leaa than the week previous, of which, mors anon.
Now, that the bustle and confusion of the recent
arrivals have about subsided, business haa pressed
In, to make our city as it used to be in ante-bellum
times, when the country wagons were wont to dally
throng our streets. As usual, the merchants are
ready with heavy stocks of every description of
goods, to offer superior Inducements to country
merchants, than can elsewhere be found in the
State. . We have endeavored, in reviewing the
market, to ascertain the exact Prices Current in the
City; and as our figures are based on actual sales,
we can conldently refer to them.
2—lY It should be feorne in mind that out quo
lotions represent wholesale prices. Small bills, to
Planters and others, are filled at a shade higher
J Mtes.
w Wlisr ATVCIA-L.
Although “money is the root of all evil,’’ still it
is the lever that moves the world, and without
which trade would be-aa nothing; therefore, money
matters claim the first place in our letter-sheet.
We regret to say that money is still very scarce
(although much in demand), and there are many
who, wanting “the one thing needful,’’ are willing
to give 4@5 per cent, per month, In order to secure
a loan. The City of Augusta can boast of but one
National Bank, and its capital Is so limited that it
cannot supply more than one half the money need
ed in business transactions; in a word, greenbacks
are scarce.
The demand for Gold and Silver is limited, and
brokers have more for sale than they can dispose of.
The demand for all classes of Securities, Bonds,
and Stocks is slim. Uncurrent Bank Notes are not
much sought after, and very little change has been
made in the prices thereof. Wi refer to the list on
next page.
Since our last, specie has declined one cent. We
close on the following quotations, which are Bro
ker’s rates:
Gold, buying 146

BACON.—A good article ia much sought alter,
while other grades are in moderate demand. For
full correct information in regard to Bacon, we
refer you to the next page, merely remarking that
a very choice article will bring a shade higher
figures.
BUTTER— Continues steady, and Is frequently
asked for; figures firm and unchanged.
CHEESE.—There has been an increasing inquiry
for this article, and a decline on last.quotations.
We note State, 18@20c. per lb.; English Dairy 26
(928 c.
FLOUR.—The stock on hand is still heavy, but
demands for . large quantities are not frequent.
The crop of Wheat in this State has become ex
hausted, and our City mills have been obliged to
advance their prices. Advices from Baltimore say
that the’ scarcity of Wheat has caused a partial
suspension in grinding on the part of city mills, the
most of which are only working part time. Under
this aspect of affairs, aa bread is “the staff of life,”
it is clearly evident that though the prices of
Northern Flour are statu quo, there must soon be
an Upward start The principal trade in this
market has been of Flour ground at the various
City mills.
SUGARS—Firm, with trifling sales, at former
figures.
The demand for Molasses is slightly improved.
\\e quote Cuba Clayed at 58@60c. per gallon.
Other prices remain unchanged.
LARD.—Stock ample, demand fair, prices steady.
We quote: Prime Leaf, in barrels, 23@24c. per lb.:
in kegs, 25526 c.; Pressed, 22®23c.
POTATOES.-—The supply of both Irish and Sweet
Potatoes continues to Increase, and prices are
easier. We note the former at $4
barrel, and the latter at $2 00 per bushel. There
is much inquiry after both kinds.
GRAIN.
CORN— -Is becoming scarce in this market, and
the inquiry is increasing. Influenced by the ex
ample o other markets, Corn has advanced here
Prices range: Prime White, $1 55: White, tl 50;
Prime Yellow, $1 45; Yellow, $1 37H@1 425.
A first-class article of bread-com can readily be
disposed of.
OATS—Continue In demand, fair stock, and a
slight advance, viz: 90@95c.
HAY.—There is a moderate supply and good in
quiry, at full figures in review.
WHEAT—As before stated, the crop has become
exhausted, and a choice article cannot be had.
There has been an advance. We quote: $2 75®
300 per bushel, according to grade. A choice
article will find ready sale.
STJJNTDRIES. *•
DRY GOODS.—There has been a good demand
for all classes of Diy Goods, and many heavy
sales. Prices firm at figures in review.
DOMESTICS--Advance with the season, and the
demand keeps pace with the advance. See quota
tions.
BACGING.—The demand is good; prices are
easier. We note $ farther decline of lc.
DRIED FRUIT.—Stock more than adequate to
the demand; prices easier. We quote: aVpples,
$1 75®2 00, and Peaches, $3 50®5 00.
STARCH.--Good supply and fair inquiry; prices
range: Pure, 13@14c. per lb.: Silver Gloss, 15
®l6c.
COTTON.
At the close of our last report the market was
quiet and unsettled, and our quotations were nom
inal. On the next day a perceptible decline took
place, and prices have slowly retrograded up to
Tuesday evening.
The receipts up to date are 4,477; the sales for
the same period, 6,610 bales.
There was a better feeling isl the market yester
day, and it closed firm, with a good demand ai full
