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 BILL OF FARE! Soup—Moek Turde. Fish — Bass, Parsley Sauce.

At the appropriate lime the wine was opened, and then came “a feast of rea sou and a flow of soul” which it is not 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 : The Planters' Hotel —May its pro 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- Jty, Va., Sabbath School was recently -awarded to Miss Fannie E.

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. —Wheu does a boy begin bird keep ing ?

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 Gold, selling • '.‘.‘.'. '.'.149 Silver, buying. Silver, selling.! .!"]]]l3B rito vision's. 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.

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 prices, viz: * Ordinary * a Low Middling 33 a Middling... 34 a .. Strict Middling 35 a ..
