On the Bridge.— Previous to and just at the commencement of th,e late war, tbe offices of the toll gate keeper-of the Augusta Bridge was noted, ini Rum mer, as the Resort of crowds of young men, who sought there the refreshing breezes that were wafted from the river and the neighboringTiills on the Caro lina side; and in winter it was visited by numbers of the same class, , as a •place where, around the glowing fires— the remembrance of which are as the locality itself—they might recite, and hear recited, wondrous ghost tales. Now tbe crowds gather not; they have be&i broken, and their members scattered here and there by the vicissitudes of the post five! ydars. Local items-r-once easily picked up thereabouts—are very unfrequeutly found in these latter days. The present keeper is a clever “Ad miral,” who spares no Paynes in the discharge of his multifarious duties. Since the passage of the ordinance re quifing-foot passengers to pay toll, the “Admiral” occasionally has to contend with some who do not take the papers, and are, therefore, unlearned in the usages of to-day, and also with some of the stubborn-minded, who think the keeper has no right to make (to their minds) such unrighteous exactions. However, the toll is always forthcoming. The troublous kind have lately been so pestiferous that the presence of a chival rous policeman is. found necessary to the’ smooth flow of greenbacks into the City Treasury.' Should the “Admiral” and the officer aforesaid be, at any time, by reason of the multitude of the re fractory, found incompetent to the task set before them, they will immediately tall back upon the Hill, whose hands will prove a help-meet. Agency of the Southern Medical and Surgical Journal. —We are grat ified to annouF.ee that our old friend, Major lßham Thompson, has consented to act as Agent lor the Southern Medical and Surgical Journal, and willcanvass the City for subscriptions to that valua ble Journal. The Major is so well and favorably known to our citizens that he needs nothing more than this simple iatroduction to secure for him a hearty welcome from all upon whom he may call. Genial, courteous and good humored, he must make iriends, and add largely to the subscription list of the Journal An Interesting Case. —The other City papers, a tew days ago, noticed the arrest of Mr. Geo. W. Hancock, at the instance of E. M. Bruce & Cos., under a„'chhr|e of obtaining money under falsfe! pretences. It appears that Mr. Hancock, who is planting in Florida, went Ao E. F. Metcalfe & Co.i ot. Savannfih, and on the representation that he h-M 75 or 100 bales bf Sea Island Cotton, obtained a draft ore E. M. Bfnce & Cos., for some $3,000. After cashing the draft, Messrs. Bruce & Cos. received information that led them to think all was not right, and at their instance, Mr. Hancock was arrested under the charge of obtaining poney under false pretences. After an exami nation before Justice Ker he was turned over to the authorities of Savannah, and was taken down in the / evg ody of Officer Ring. Judge OH4 and J. C. C. Black, Esq., 1 were employed in his de fence. After a hearing before . Judge Levi S. Russell, of Savannah, fit was proven that he had the amount of Cot ton represented, and he was discharged. We learn from a gentleman who wit nessed the examination, that the speech of our young townsman, Mr. Black, elicited the highest commendation from the Savannah bar.

A Commendable Idea. —We under stand that as soon as its financial con dition will admit, the St. James’ Sun. day School contemplates having repub lished and bound in a more substantial form, the proceedings had, last Novem ber, in commemoration of her gallant dead. It is the further intent of the School, that the new volume shall con tain the photograph of each of the twenty four noble young men whose names appear upon the roll. This is certainly a most commenda ble idea, and we heartily wish for its speedy consummation. The Charleston Mercury'. —This old standard journal has been re-estab lished, and is now published by Messrs. R. B. Rhett & Brother, assisted in the editorial department by Mr. Dawson. The Mercury takes back nothing of its antecedents, but, like all of its sensible cotemporaries, “accepts the situation” in good laith, and will do battle now in the cause of Southern progress and pros perity. We extend to it a kindly greet ing, and warm wishes for its success. Scott’s Monthly Magazine. —This excellent Southern periodical has closed the first year of its publication. The proprietor states that its progress during that time has been satisfactory, though not commensurate with his expecta tions. It i3 to be hoped that for the next year he will have no cause of com. plaint in this respect. Arrangements have been made for procuring portraits of distinguished Confederates, wood cuts, etc., and a handsome holiday num ber (for January) promised by Christ mas. The December number contains a number of interesting articles; and among them one from the pen of our gifted townsman, Salem Dutcher, Esq. Send on your subscription for next year—ss.o0—to J. J.

COTTON—Thqjpjras * gaog demand for •Cotton Jvefcyylitl* jbfflsred for tale. Vfe quote Strict Middling at 83c. -i « | We make the following extracts from Wm. Bryce A Co.'s New "fork Weekly? Cotton Report, of the 16th instant: ! We have to chronicle another splendid week for picking throughout the South* and the long fine season this fall has mate rially improved the quality of the crop coming forward ; this may be more clearly apprehended by observing that the differ ence in the price of Low Middling and Middling is now only lc. to He., instead of 2c., ag has been the. some, time past. Concerting, puhlio estimates of the crop, we have nolieed a strongly growing feeling towards,hales atriott£ people who are both conservative in theft viewi and materially interested in the crop. We still believe, however, that onr estimate of 1,800,000 bales is ample, and know that the present depressed condition of dotton comes from the -overstocked condition of tbe market for the fabrics of Manchester Add our hilllS, ralher than from fears of excessive supply. To tbe year 1846-7 we have once before called particular attention as being a parallel of the present season, viz. : An unfavorable Spring, a fino Sum ' mer,‘ a N , tempestuous September, and: long fine pteking w€hther in October and No vember; the crop that year amounted to 1,700,000 bales, a serious falling off from the present year, and far less than the year following. Our receipts thus far conform most singularly to those of that year, and yet even if tho crop were the same, such receipts be larger, the necessities of the planters being so much greater. We consider this point as of the utmost impor tance, for never in the history of Cotton have the planters been in such need of funds, and never have the rivers been fuller-nor the roads in better running order. Those persons who favor a 2,000,000 crop, urge in support of their estimates that the. restrictions of tho Treasury Department and the lateness of the crop counterbalance the above objections. While there is some force to tho remarks, we ought not to forget that the annoying regulations were re scinded September 25th, and that the present system affords little or no difficul ties to the planter shipping his produce. Again, granting the crop to be a late one, Jhe season has now. sufficiently advanced to show a marked increase in receipts, if the crop were really so late, which circumstance the receipts.do uot show. Last week they fell below those of the week previous, and this week full short of 60,000 bales, which amount ought to bo received weekly from November 3d to January Ist, 1867, to make our reoeipts 750,000 bales to that date, when fully one-half tho crop is, expected to be at the ports. The agent of the Freedmen’s Bureau of tbe State of Mississippi reports that t e crop of that State will barely pay the ex penses incurred in its cultivation, and this statement is sustained by the roports of pi.- vate individuals. A similar though not equal state of destruction pervades the c t ton region, and the question wt i ttyo v a jority of planters is not when he can get tue most for his orop, but hoto soon it can be conveited into money to meet his pressing necessities. Bearing this in mind, and re membering tbe faculties now afforded lor transportation, we think to have a 2,000,000 crop, our receipts should be fully 100,000 bales per week at the present time. What ever may be the size of the crop the currency value will much depend on the preminm on gold. A careful consideration of surround ing circumstances leads us to the opinion that there is no particular probability of the premium falling below forty for some time to come. We have been importing heavily, and our exports have been light; gold must go abroad to pay otir balances, and very heavy remittances are always due in December by our importing houses. Un trammeled trade points to no lower but some people fear the Secretary offcthe Treasury wijl make some sudden rao ? € Lif’ ward a spefcdy contraction whfc>lF**w®BlcF* influence gold; but those best acquainted with the intentions of the Hon. Secretary emphatically deny such statements, which are likewise wholly opposed to the late ctjn servative policy of the Department. How ever maniacal Congress may be, it is not presumable they will attempt to legislate on. the gold question, remembering the rout and ruin which has invariably fol lowed every previous effort in that direction. The dullness in Cotton Goods is much dis cussed, but the position of that market, and of trade generally, is not very different from what is usually the Case immediately alter elections and preceding the assembling of Congress. A marked reaction next month is not expected, and of course a consequent improvement in the market for the raw material. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. Savannah, Nov. 20.

AUGUSTA WEEKLY MARKET. REPORTED SPECIALLY FOR THE DAILY PRESS. OFFICE OATLY PRESP, ) Augusta, Ga., Nov. 21,1866.1 REMARKS. The busy hum of trade continued tb sound throughout our streets, from the close of our last report to the end of the week; but the opening of this week has not been marked by as much activity as the preceding one. Business though can not be said to he dull, for a fair trade is being done. Provisions have suffered a severe tumble. Cotton, after being quite dull, now begins to look Up. Salt has advanced. The merchants of this City are still ready to fill all orders that may be sent, at as reasonable terms (is can elsewhere be found. Our Prices Current, of this City, have been care fully compiled. We have endeavored in every case to base our figures on actual transactions, and would refey you to the table on next page for cor rect quotations. We invite your attention to n few cursory remarks on the leading articles of. trade: It should be borne in mind that pur quo tations represent wholesale prices. Small bills, to Planters and others , are filled at a shade higher rates. The prospects, financially speaking, are still quite dark; no ray of light nor hope fir better times can be seen. The scarcity of money still con tinues, and la even worse than at our last report. The dullness of the Cotton market has had much to do in causing the present stringency of money Paper (unless It be strictly first-class), Is oxtrcmely difficult of negotiation. New York Sight Exchange is checked by the Banks at par. /,ut door rates Xto A per cent, dis count. Thirty Day TSllls are taken at 1 per cent and interest; Sixty Day Bills, 2 per cent, and in terest. Specie has suffered a heavy fall, and. we quote the folloqlitg brokers’ rates: Gold, buying .1 40 Gold, selling 1 45 Silver, buying 1 35 Silver, selling 1 40 P little Udoue hi Uncurrent Bank Notes, and | qdfttations remain about the same.

In concluding our remarks on the state of the market, we will endeavor in a few words to sum up the condition of Cotton daring the past week. The demand has fluctuated, at times being good, and then again none at all. Our last report closed on a dull and drooping market, at nominal quotations, /Bay 32c. for Middling. On Thursday, there was very little doing, with sales of 125 bales. The receipts were 483 bales. On Friday, the market opened dull, with a few ou the prices of the preceding day. On tbe receipt of noon advices from New York and Liverpool, there was a decline of 1 cent. Sales of the day, 348 bales; receipts, 479 bales. , On Saturday, the market was quiet and declining. “Sales, 100 bales; receipts, 342 bales. • On Monday, there was a better feeling in the market, with salfes of 201 bales; receipts, 290 bales. On Tuesday, the favorable news from New York, at noon, <j{*an advance of half a cent, with a firmer market, gave tone and strength to the market. A better -feeling prevailed among-holders, and the market closed buoyant with an. upward tendency. Sales, 236 bales; receipts, 360 bales. RECAPITULATION.
