For Solicitor.—The Macon TVfc graph, of yesterday, says : The Solici torahip for this judicial Circuit, having become vacant by the resignation of Mr. Branham, an election to fill the place will be held in January. Captain F. T. Snead, of Macon county, formerly As sistant Adjutant General on Gen. Dole’s staff, a good lawyer and a brave soldier, is the only name announced thus far. We presume though that the field sHU be contested. Boots and Shoes.—Mr. A. Brandt, No. 325 Broad street, has just received the long looked for lot of ladies’ and gents’ shoes, which will be o'ffered to the public at low prices. Call and see them.

A Secret Political Society in North Carolina.— The Salisbury,' N. C., Union Banner declares that there is a secret political association in its past of North Carolina. The organization has its solemn oath of secrecy, and all who refuse to join it are denounced as disloyal. Buckwheat.—The Savannah Adver tiser of yesterday records the first arrival of this season’s buckwheat in that city. The Health op Savannah.— We are gratified to announce a marked decrease in the number of deaths for the past week, there having been but forty-one interments in both cemeteries, twenty of which were white, and twenty-one colored. Ten of these are reported tt> have died of cholera—three whites and" seven negroes. The cholera had almost entirely disappeared from our city, there being but two fatal cases in the last three days, both of which were negroes. With the present tavorSble change in the weather, the health of the city has greatly improved, and no one now feels that he exposes himself to any risk by coming among us. Country merchants arrive by every train, to lay in their stocks of fall and winter goods, and our streets wear their wonted lively aspect. No one now need be under any apprehension of danger by visiting Savannah, even though he may come from a more northern latitude. Large uumbers of our citizens who have been North on business or for pleasure, are returning by every steamer, and many Northerners are also coming among us. —Savannah Advertiser, Oc tober 17/A. Important to Cotton Pi.anters.— Mr. James T. Flewellen informs us that he has in his possession the opinion of one of the ablest lawyers in New York city, also the opinions of able lawyers in this State, that there is no legal founda tion for the demand upon planters to return for income tax cotton produced in 1865, or any previous yea'r. These legal gentlemen express the opiniou that the requirement should not be com plied with. Mr. Flewellen, therefore, requests all planters in this section of the State, and of the adjacent counties in Alabama, who have been required to return to the Assessors of the United States Revenue, as income for the year 1865, any cotton or other produce raised by them previous to said year 1865, to call at his office over the store of H. C. Mitchell & Cos., in this city. As the time is near at hand for the collection of the income tax, it is important to take immediate action.— Columbus Enquirer, Oct. 17. Withdrawal. —lt is reported that Thurlow Weed has withdrawn from the New York Times, being unable to har. mohize with H. J. Raymond. It is rumored that Weed will start anew paper. Rents.— Rents make a big hole in a fellow’s pocket, as the poor man in ragged breeches said to his landlord when he paid him two thirds of his month’s wages for the privilege of living in his dilapidated house. A gentleman the other day had occa sion to telegraph to Cambridge for a book. The book was a copy of prize poems containing, as the telegram was worded, “ Johnson's Poem on Plato.” By the time the message reached Cam bridge (it would have to pass through London on its way) it had become al tered into “ John Pomens on Plate Mo ney.” The bookseller at Cambridge wrote by return to say that he regretted his inability to find any such work. A Life Saved by a Policeman’s Whiskers. —About the beginning of this month a vessel was wrecked on the east coast of Ireland. The crew were saved by the people on shore, and espe cially by some of the constabulary rush ing into the surf and rescuing them. The daughter of the captain was saved by Constable Corrigan, through her clinging to his whiskers, and he bravely brought her on shore in this manner. An Austrian chemist, M. Leinelbrock, has discovered a way of enclosing elec tricity in small glass capsules which Will explode uuder the influence of the slightest shock. The capsule is enclosed in a steel cone, so that if shot from a rifle it will enter the flesh,and the explo sion which follows is sufficient to kill a man. Experiments have been made on oxen and horses with perfect success, these animals having fallen down as if struck with lightning. HOTEL ARRIVALS,” GLOBE HOTEL. w. o.

New Kind of Fi.our.—A Tennessee paper says: “ Our neighbor, John G. Turner, sent ns, last week, a sample of flour made from broom-corn seed. We have tried it in cakes, and it is both pal atable and nutritive. His family have been using it for some days, and all like it. This is decidedly anew arti cle of food for the table.

Cotton Markets. Savannah, Oct. 17. Cotton —The market, since our last re port, has been dull, and without transac tions. Thu offering stock is largo, and the receipts heavy. The largo offering Btock is attributable to planters instructing their factors to put their Cotton on tho market at onco; but tho high prices asked prevent buyers from operating. New York Mid dlings were offered freely yesterday, at 38c., and Savannah Middings at 36c., with out finding purchasers. CoLumcs, Ga., Oct. 17.

Office daily press, i Augusta, Ga., October I*. 1866* j REMARKS. Since our last weekly report, business has steadily increased, and the trade has been quite brisk, approximating, but not quite reaching, the activity of former times. The influx of wagons, bearing Cotton to this market, is an every day occurrence ; nor do they return to their coun try homes without having invested in some of the many wares which our merchants are so well prepared to furnish. The weather for the past week has been extremely fair and auspicious to the Cotton planter. The crop has now been made, and, under the present favorable season, they may all be gathered in without loss. This is truly fortunate, for the prospect for the present crop if*, but meagre. • The stocks of the merchants of Augusta con-i tinue to rival that of any other mart in the State,- both as regards completeness and terms. In the compilation of our weekly circular, we have en-. deavored, as far as possible, to ascertain the exact*’ Prices Current, and, basing our figures upon actual transactions, we feel that we can confidently refer you to them. It should he borne in mind that our quo tatioM represent wholesale prices. Small bills, to Plantei'B and others, are filled at a shade higher rates. FINANCIAL. * The constant drain upon the limited circulation of our one National Hank, and the dearth of money in this community, renders a financial statement almost a nominal affair. Money is readily taken up, by borrowers, at 5@6 per cent, per month. The rates of xchange at the Bank is par ; out doors, X($ X A per cent, discount ; thirty day bills* A off ; sixty day bills, 2 A discount. " There were a limited number of.transactions in Securities this week, at a shade easier rates. The, demand for uncurrent Bank Notes, Bonds and- Stocks, is but poor. There are few changes in the rates of Hank Bills, and our table has been' carefhlly revised and corrected. The inquiry for Gold and Silver is very limited,! although influenced by the New York market ; the rates thereof have risen considerably since our last report. When we close our report, the follow ing are Broker’s rates : Gold, buying 148 Gold, selling 150 ,4 Silver, buying 188 Silver, selling 142 PROVISIONS. BACON.—There is but a limited supply ppw on sale, and the tone of the market is improving. The demand for Sides and Shoulders is ospecially good, the stock of both having been greatly re duced. While prices have not ns yet materially altered, still there can be no doubt that there is a decided upward tendency. > BUITEIt. —The figures of this arr' k emaln unchanged and firm. Stock moderat. lemand good. SUGAR AND MOLASSES.—The former is stiff; and though prices have not yet altered, are look ing up. A good demand prevails ; stock fair. A prime article of Molasdes is scarce, aud often in quired after: and the demand will increase as the season advances. LAUD. —The stock is fair, with an average re quest. Prices are steady at—Prime Leaf, in bar rels, 23@24c. per lb.; in kegs, 25£26c.; Fresaed. 22@28c. POTATOES.—The supply of both Irish and Sweet Potatoes continues to increase, and prices are easier. We note the former at 75@4 00 per barrel, and the latter at $2 00 per bushel. There is much inquiry after both kinds. GRAIN. CORN —Has become quite scarce in this market, and a prime article of White Corn is hardly to be had: it would command $1 60 readily. There has been an advance of at least 5 cents on last week’s quotations, and promises to rise still higher, Coro is much sought after, and will quickly brliifc these figures, viz.: Prime White, SI 60; White, 155; Prime Yellow, 145; Yellow, 142>£; Western Mixed, 1 85® 1 40. Since the above was in type, there has been a still farther advance of from 3 to sc. per bushel. OATS AND IlAY.—The supply of both is mod erate and demand fair. The former commands 95c. per bushel. The latter brings $2 00®2 25 for Northern, and $2 30 for Eastern Hay. WHEAT.—As mentioned in our remarks on Flour, the Wheat crop has become completely ex hausted, and a choice article is much in demand. Prices range from $2 75 to 3 00 per bushel, ac cording to grade. A strictly prime article might demand a shade higher figure, if laid down in this market. SUNDRIES. DRY GOODS.—The demand for almogt all classes of fall and winter goods has been exceedingly ac tive, and the week now closing has been one of bustling activity to our leading dry goods houses. Prices remain stiff, at figures given on next page DRIED FRUIT. —Stock more than adequate to the demand; prices easier. We quote: Apples $115@2 00, and Peaches, $3 50(Ti 5 00. STARCH.—Good supply and fair’inquiry; prices range: Pure, 13®14c. per lb.; Silver Gloss, 15 ®l6c. DOMESTICS—The Augusta Factory have again advanced the prices of their goods. A Sheeting now brings 19@)103&c.; 4-4 Shirting, Drills, 23@23V£. Other mills have advanced in proportion. The demand is increasing, and the Factory is busy endeavorujg to fill orders. demand continues good, but prices are somewhat easier. Heavy lots may be purchased at a trifle lower than prices given. COTTON. At the close of our last review, we left the mar ket rallying from a decline. Aided by favorable news from the great mart of the United States, tho market became buoyant once more on Friday and Saturday. At the opening of this week, owing partly to a scarcity of money, there was a good deal of depression manifested. 011 Tuesday morn ing, the daily telegram from Liverpool brought the news of sales of Cotton at 15%d., which caused a temporary excitement in this market. On the market was quiet, but firm. Buyers evinced an inclination to stand off, whilst holders were not willing to make any concessions. Under this state of affairs, the market was nominal. The total number of sales from the Ist September to last night, the 17th inst., amount to 8,017 bales; and the aggregate amount of receipts for the same period sum up 6,930 bales. The market opened quiet this morning, and at the hour when we close our report, 11 o’clock A. M., we leave the market in an unsettled condition. No sales have been ef fected (except from wagons), and our quotations are therefore entirely nominal, viz.: Middling 35 a 36 Strict Middling 37 a Good Middling 38 a We take the following extracts from William Bryce & Co.’s Weekly Cotton Circular : ’ New York, October 12.—Our own market for the week has been active, excited, and higher The rise has been gradual, based considerably on shippers’ and spinners’ purchases, although the amount taken on speculation is by no means small. As usual, on a rising market even-running lists of Low Middling and Mid’ dling have been mostly in demand, new Cot ton having decided preterencc over old, while staple has been eagerly sought for. Good Or dinary has been in light request except by a few spinners, and rates have ruled irregularly dependent'entirely on the strictness ol the classification. The higher rates of gold have improved the margin of shippers and given more tone to the operations of speculators. This latter class of purchasers, however, have bought on the basis of a small crop, which is mostly estimated at not over 1,500.000 bales— an amount less than we need for our export demand, if we send as much abroad during this year as last. While on this point it £ well to note tkat while the probable amount of new Cotton is not estimated at over 1 500 000 bales, there are yet on hand fully 300,000 bales of old Cotton, whi#» swells our present and prospective stock to 1,800.000 bales. The amount of raw Cotton which will be this year consumed south of the Potomac Is, by some well-informed parties, considered by no means insignificant, while in the Northern States at least 12.000 bales per week are needed by our Manufacturing Companies. Crop Prospects.—The general tenor of our Southern advices for the week has been more favorable than for the previous month. Fine picking weather had succeeded the disastrous rains, and planters were devoting all their en ergies to saving what remains of the damaged crops. We hear of considerable sickness among the freedmen, which is against the crop, out the general report is encouraging as to thewamount of labor performed by them. 801 l worms and army worms continue their ravages in eorae sections, but we do not hear of serious nor general complaint. New Cotton comes forwara slowly; the annoying regula tions of the Treasury Department, causing the payment of this tax in certain districts, pre vent tho crop moving to the seaboard with ac customed promptness. Again, it must be remembered that the crop is a late one under any circumstances, and that planters are de voting all their attention to picking their Cot ton, determined to secure as much as possible of tho precious staple. It is impossible to make auy about the crop, at pre sent, as now everything depends on the length of the season before a killing frost sets in. If it belong delayed, tho damago done in September, may, in a measure, be compen sated j but if we have an early frost' tko pros pect lor the crop is poor indeed. AUGUSTA PRICES OURREHT. COMMERCIAL.
