And the price is only Five Dollars per annum, in advance 1 Who will do without a real good, live paper, when it can be got so cheap 7 Take the Daily Press. It is emphatically the People’s Organ. Other dailies are $lO per year. The Daily Press is only sa. Its Tele graphic News is worth the price aloue. Matrimoniai The little God—Cu pidrr-seems to have been eminently sccessful in aiming his “lovashafts” in this community of late. Last week, scarcely a day passed, that did not witness the celebration of one or more marriages, and this week—whatever else it may have been in the mercantile has certainly been an extraordinary active one in the matrimonial line. Ru mor hath it that very many young ladies, who, as they say, are “only waiting to be proposed to;” and young gents, who can’t find anybody to have them, will, ere Christmas has come and gone, be rejoicing in the mysteries of that sa credly mysterious union, called marriage. To those who have recently come to a “saving knowledge of the truth,” as to what real happiness is, we tender our congratulations : V/hi Ist those who are soon therewith to become acquainted, surely have our best wishes. Southern Hospital Association.— We have already referred to the effort now being made to raise funds with which to open an Asylum at New Or leans for wounded and disabled ex-Con federate soldiers. Call at Geo. A. Oates’, No. 240 Broad street, and purchase a ticket, which entitles the holder thpreof to a chance in the distribution of Christ mas Gifts, price sl. It is a charitable wo'k, and will enlist the sympathies and encouragement of our people. Personal. —We had the pleasure of a visit yesterday from Mr. W, A. Harp, editor and proprietor of the Covington and Madison Examiner. He is in our City on business for his excellent jour, nal, which has been recently enlarged and otherwise improved. He will, doubtless, call on our merchants and others to-day to secure advertisements for his paper. We commend him to their courteous attention, and the Exam iner to their liberal patronage. Our Telegraphic Dispatches. —As the Daily Press is the only paper issued in this City this morning, we ad vise a general perusal of its columns, and invite a special and particular refer ence to its Telegreaphic News. Our dispatches are from the Merchants’ Ex change and News Agency, and will bear a favorable comparison with those ol the Associated Press (so-called) pub lished in the other City journals. Read them and, compare them. Going to Albany. —A large number of freedtnen, with their families, passed through Augusta, yesterday. They came from South Caro’lina, and were bound for Albany, in this State. Generally speaking, they were an intelligent look, ing set of colored people, who rightly adjudge that they have only to work and conduct themselves in a becoming man ner, in order to do well. Friends of the Freedmfn. —A sys tematic effort on the part of some specu lating scoundrels to swindle the freed men out of their Cotton by buying it with counterfeit greenbacks, has just been brought to light on the Sea Islands. General Scott, of the Freedmen’s Bu reau, is doing his best to ferret out the perpetrators of this piece of heartless knavery. Taxes. —The bill passed by both houses of the Legislature, extending the time of the settlement by Tax Col lectors until the Ist of February, 1867> provides that all persons who failed to make returns In terrnß of the law, may do so to the Collector, and pay thereon as other tax payers, and not double tax, as defaulters. The Crops. —A gentleman from a neighboring county came to the Augusta market, the other day, with a wagon load of sweet potatoes, which he sought to exchange for corn and bacon. His little corn crop had failed him, and as to hogs he had none—hence he was left tho lone chance of exchanging the potatoes for other necessaries of life. Late Papers. —We are indebted to Mr. P. Quinn for late papers. He Ims & large assortment of illustrated papers, the latest magazines, etc. Among the latter is the December number of the Galaxy, with a continuation of the in teresting story of the Coverings. Get a copy aud read it. Mr. J. N. Davis—the Blind Pure xologist. —The above named gentle man, from Newnan, Is a native of Geor gia, and a gentleman of refinement and education. < He waa one* the editor of the Literary Companion, and had his otlice destroyed by tho enemy during the war ; be has, therefore, beau com pelled to adopt other methods of obtain ing a support. Being au accomplished phrenologist, he makes use of that talent to secure a living, for himself, wife, and children, for his family was entirely dependent upon him for a support. About nine years ago, Mr. Davis was afflicted with ophthalmia, which resulted in total blindness. This, however, does not impede his phrenological examina tions. He offers his services, as a pro fessional phrenologist, to the citizens of Macon, and desires to Ray that he umy be found at the Lnnicr House for n day or two. All who desire a knowledge of their natural and moral bias, as mani fested in their craniological develop ments, are urged to give him a call. I A verbal examination will cost sl.od; accompanied by a chart s2.oo. —Macon Telegraph. There is a large numbers of believers in Phrenology in this City, who, we doubt not, would be glad to have Mr. D. come amongst us. Interesting Astronomical Event. —We donbt very much whether thi* interest of newspaper readers will ever again be so thoroughly excited in celestial phenomena, as it was recently by the announcement that we were to have a grand meteoric display on the 13th of this present mouth ; there having been, in that instance, very great disappoint ment to all “Star-gazers” on this side of the world. However, we must stead fastly believe in science, though, at times, by reason of incorrect reckoning, we be disappointed. It is now confi dently declared that an unusually inter esting astronomical event will occur on the 6th of December next, viz.: the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and the Earth will then be in conjunction—an event which, the astronomers toll us, will not occur again in several centuries. Seward's Opinion. —A late Washing ton dispatch says that Secretary Seward expresses the opinion that the policy of declaring universal amnesty, to be fol lowed by universal suffrage in the gene ral meaning of that term; is destined to be the basis upon which reconstruction will be dually completed. He is unequivocal, however, in agree ing with the President that it devolves upon the States respectively to prescribe the qualifications and limitations of the negro vote within their boundaries. Election for Congress in the Sev enth District.— The election for Repre sentative to Congress for the Seventh District of Georgia, took place on Wednesday, the 28th iust.

C., were, on Wed nesday, admitted to the practice of law. That looks like “ Everybody his own lawyer.” Our Hotel Arrivals. —The present crowded state of our columns forbids the publication of hotel arrivals, after the old time custom. Seventy two per sons are reported as having arrived at Hewitt’s Globe Hotel, yesterday. They are from all parts of the country. Better. —The “Admiral” who com mands the Bridge Flotilla, has been suffering from general indisposition for several days past.

[From the United Statet and European Trlejraphie Near Auooiatian.] REPORTED POR THE DAILY PRESS. Tlie Western Associated Press. New York, Nov. 28. 7b all ESUUvra and Apert la : The (notymous statement placed upon the wires tq night, implying that tho nudersigned, in their negotiations with the New York Associated Press, made any propositions looking to a dis crimination in favor of large cities and against small ones, is simply untrue. It is also untrue that the organization which we represent was dismissed from the privileges of the New York Asso ciated Press. Those privileges may have been more or less important to the newspapers in our organization ; but whatever they were, they were not deemed advisable to us, when coupled with the restriction heretofore noted, and we withdraw from them voluntarily. It is likewise untrue that Mr. Craig had any agency in the preparation of the report which we have submitted to our constituentSy or that he ever saw it before it was banded to him for trans mission. (Signed) M. Holstead, Horace White, Kx.Corn, of West’ll Ass’d Press. FROM NEW YORK. Speech of Senator Fessenden New York, Nov. 28. There was a large assemblage at the Union League Club House this evening, in honor of Senator Fessenden, of Maine, the Chairman of the Reconstruction Committee of Congress. The leading Republicans of New York were present, together with Senators and Represents tives from all parts of the country, cn route to Washington, and other distin guished visitors. f, Senator Fessenden was introduced by John Jay, Esq., who alluded in compli mentary terms to the distinguished part borne by the Senator from Maine, in preparing the measure which had been so emphatically sustained in the reeen elections. He also referred to the sup posed attemot of the President to create a disturbance with foreign powers for the purpose of averting, in some degree, the verdict of the people upon his course in domestic affairs. He, Mr. Jay, thanked God that the Senate of the United States was the constitutional arbiter of our foreign affairs, and he trusted that there was to be no departure from our policy of non intervention in the affairs ot Mexico. Mr. Fessenden said that he had joined with his colleagues of the Reconstruc tion Committee, in presenting certain measures to the country as the policy of Congress—as the President’s policy. He had always held the opinion that Mr. Johnson had no right to any policy at all in the matter of reconstruction; but whether he had or not, it was evi dent that the country had sustained the policy of Congress, and had put down that of the President. He—Fessenden —was surprised to see that an attempt was being made by certain persons, and sustained by leading Republican jour nals in New York, to get up a compro mise after the battle had been fought and the victory won. He referred to the policy of universal amnesty and universal suffrage. Ha had always sup posed that when a case had been sub mitted to the jury, and judgment ren dered, there was no time for either party to be talking of compromise. In the present case, judgment had been ren dered, and execution was ready to issue. He did not know how much farther the people were ready to go. He knew they would go to whatever length might be necessary to secure equality of human rights in all parts of the country. They might go so far as his honorable friend, Mr. Jay,had already gone. He hoped they would, but for the present he was entirely certain that thiiy would not barter anything away to secure that which was right in itself. They demand absolute security for the future; after that was established by the Constitutional Amendment, and placed beyond doubt or cavil, it would be time enough to talk about universal amnesty, or the subject of foreign policy. Mr. Fessenden said that it made little difference what the President or Secre tary of State were about. If they were doing right, they would be sustained ; if they were doing wrong, they could harm nobody but themselves. Mr. Fessenden's remarks were re ceived with the greatest enthusiasm. Senator Grimes, of lowa, Hon. E. B. Washburne, of Illinois, Hou. Samuel Hooper, ot Massachusetts, and Hon. Win. B. Allison, of lowa, were succes sively called on, and responded briefly ; after which a collation was served and the assemblage dispersed. Thanksgiving i>ay in Wash ington. Washington, Nov. 29—P. M.

The Forthcoming Report of Secretary or Treasury. Washington, Nov. 29—P. M. The forthcoming Report of the Seere tary of the Treasury, on the national finances, has beeu completed, and printed for distribution to the country oq the day of its presentation to Con gress. The views which it will present will not be new, in so far as a line of financial policy will be laid down ; yet the resume of facts and figures will show the national financial situation to be in a much more flattering condition than at the opening of the first session of the Thirty-Ninth Congress, or at the close of the fiscal year on June 30th, 1865. The forthcoming report will show that the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1866) was one of great prosperitv. The bal auce in tho Treasury on thfrt’day stood as follows : Cash on hand Juno 30,18155.. $ 855.309 15 Cash on hand June 30,1880.. 130,609,815 19 Nett gain $129,811,506 04 The gold on hand was not estimated at a currency value,or tfie balance would have exceeded $150,000,000. The re ceipts and expenditures for the year 1865 and 1866 (the fiscal year), ending June 30, 1866, are as as follows: Re ceipts from customs, iu gold, $179,046,- 630.64 ; from public bonds, $665,031.03; from direct tax, $1,974,754.12; from internal .revenue, $309,226,812.81 ; mis cellaneous sources, $65,125,966.46 ; to tal receipts from all sources, $556,039,- 195.06. This revenue, it is believed, excetdi in amount that of any other nation on the globe for the same period. Expenditures —Civil, Foreign, and Miscellaneous, $41,049,965.96; Pen sions and Ind ans, $16,253,300.44 ; War, $284,449,701.82; Navy, $43,519,632.21; Interest, $133,074,737.27. Total, $518,- 347.337.70. Total Receipts, $556,039,- 195.06. Total Expenditures, $518,347,- 337.70. Excess ot Receipts, $37,691,857.36. This excess of receipts all occurred du ring the last few months of the fiscal year, and is not a fair criterion of the ability of the Government to liquidate its debt. For instance, the War expenses for the quarter ending September 30th, 1865 were $165,000,000 ; but during the quarter ending June 30th, 1865, they were but $12,000,000. The balance in the Treasury on June 30th, 1865, was but $858,309.15. The year ending De cember 31st, 1865, showed a deficiency in the Treasury of $619,000,000. But six months from the time, June 30th, 1866, there was an excess of receipts over expenditures of nearly $370,000,000. The estimates of the War department for expenditures, for the coming fiscal year, would be nearly $240,000,000 less than for 1865, were it not for the equal izing bounty b'il passed at the last ses sion ; but the revenue from all sources for the next fiscal year is estimated by the Secretary in the neighborhood of $600,000,000. The full expenditures for the next fiscal year is estimated at within $350,000,000, including interest on the matured debt and a fair sum over for a sinking fund. The Secretary's Report will also state that under the law of Congress the Treasury has with drawn from circulation, during the past six months, the limit of $10,000,000 of paper money. The total amount of United States legal tender notes in cir culation is, therefore, $386,000,000. The most important and gratifying fact of the report will be in the reduc tion of the public debt. It will be shown that the public debt has been reduced during the past twelve months nearly $200,000,000. The actual figures ofthe reduction are $193,637,721. Seven millions of compound interest notes, legal tenders, for their face, have been cancel led, and the temporary loan reduced $900,000. The full amount of currency authorized for national banks has been issued, which, with the United States notes, gives a circulating medium of nearly $700,000,000 not including the fractional currency. On the first of last November, the total, including the fractional currency, amounted to $734,218,038.20, and $95,000,000 of authorized national bank notes remained unissued. The Secretary of the Treasury will not present in this report what may be called strictly anew plan for returning to specie payments. He has changed none of the views which he maintained in his last report, and which were enun ciated in the Fort Wayne speech. He believes that the Secretary of the Trea sury should have power to control the currency to the extent of being au thorized, at his discretion, to sell bonds bearing interest not exceeding six per cent., and redeemable and payable at such periods as may be conducive to the iuteres sos the Government for the purpose of retiring all U. S. notes He will ask Congress to authorize a long five per cent, bond, to be exempt from taxation, in which to fund the obligations that are soon to mature. He will lay great stress on the question of urging Congress to adopt at an early day a fixed policy of contraction, which, when adopted, will cause the business of the country to gravitate to it, so that specie payments may be reached without a great diminution in the revenues, or a wide-spread financial panic. He does not propose to state any definite time for the resumption of spe cie payments, but believes that, with a proper system, it can be attained with the retirement of over $200,000,000 of United States notes. It will be shown by the figures given by the Secretary,that the Government is on the high road of prosperity. In re ducing the national debt the Treas urer will cling to the simple and expe rienced policy of liquidating the debt, by keeping the national revenue above the national expenditures. To this end a draft of a bill prepared by Mr. Welles, the Speciul Revenue Commissioner, will be submitted with the report, as at some future day proposing an equalization in internal taxation and a modification of tbo existing tariff. Important reference will also be made to the new cotton tax of three cents per pound, imposed last session. In 1867 and 1868 $830,- 000,000 seven thirty notes fall due. A large amount of the first series are now being funded in five-twenty bonds. Im provements in the national banking sys tern will be suggested and urged. Canadian Altai is. Montreal. Nov. 29.

We have endeavored In every case to base our figures on actual transactions, and would refer you to the table on next page for cor rect quotations. We invite your attention to a few cursory remarks on the loading articles of trade: V ar It s tumidbe borne in mind that our quo tations represent wholesale prices. Small bills , to Planters awl others, are filled at a shade higher rates. FINANCIAId. Money Is no easier than at otir last report; in fact, the panic which has prevailed in New York during the past week, caused a decline of Gofd to 137: this, together with the report of a stagnant stale of the Cotton market for a few dars, then again, the reporting an advance both iu Cotton and Gold, has caused quite a fluctuatfoti and ex citement in the Financial market during the past week. To-day, Gold is held at higher and ad vancing rates. Paper (unless it be strictly first-class) is ex tremely difficult of negotiation. New York Sight Exchange is checked by the Banks at par. Out door rates %to % per cent, dis count. Thirty Day Bills are taken at per cent, discount; Sixty Day Bills, at 2K per cent, discount But little is done in Uucurrent Bank Notes, and quotations remain about the same.

It will be seen by the following remarks on the leading articles of trade, that almost all classes of Provisions have suffered a severe tumble: BACON.—The stock remains about the same as at our last report; receipts continue, while there s but little diminution on account of the few sales that were made. The market is exceedingly dull, there is very little demand and no disposition shown to make large investments. Large concessions are mads on former figures, and we quote: Western Shoulders, 16X(ai7c.; B. B. Sides, It. Sides, 17K@18c.; Clear Sides, Hams have not met with any quotable difference, except Country, which we quote at 23®25c. BUTTER.-—We note a decline in this article also, and quote: Goshen, 40@45c. per lb.; Western, 30©35c.; Country, 35c. Stock full, and fair demand. CHEESE—Has also fallen off. There is a frequei l inquiry, and adequate supply. Prices range: Factory, 22<&23c. per lb.; State, 18@20c.; English Dairy, 24@26c FLOUR.—TIie stock of Northern and Western Flour remains quite limited. A strictly good article is very scarce in the market. There has been no perceptible reduction this week, as will be seen by the table on next page. Flour remains stiff at figures given.

And now as we dra tv our report to a close, we invite your attention to a review of the market, as bearing on the great staple of trade during the past week. We closed our last repo.t ou Tuesday night, on a buoyant market, with an upward ten tency, quoting Strict Middling at 31(cfc32c. On Wednesday, there was a continued improve ment in the market. The demand was very good, but the offering stock was very light, the sales of the day were 240 bales; receipts, 800 bales. Thursday, being partially observed here as a fast day, we can not give particulars of the market* On Friday, there was a fair demand, but holders generally declined to accede to buyers’ views. On account of somewhat depressing accounts from Liverpool and New York since the 21st., the market opened at about a cent off. We combine the sales of Thursday and Friday; they sum up 258 bales; the receipts, 654 bales. On Saturday, there was a fair demand, and but little offering. Sales, 323 bales; receipts, 272 bales. On Monday, there was a brisk inquiry though but little offering; holders were stiff at 1 cent advance on Saturday’s prices. Sales, 391 bales; receipts, 447 bales. On Tuesday, the market was bnoyant at a shade advance. Sales, 256 bales; receipts, 327 bales On Wednesday, the market opened brisk and buoyant, and the sales in the forenoon were effect ed, at previous rates. Owing to the New York noon telegrams, the demand became weakened, and holders made some concessions. There was some inquiry manifested for lower grades. Sales of the day, 370 bales; receipts, 427 bales. P. B.—To-day being set apart by the President as a thanksgiving day, no dispatches were received in time to effect the market. There was a good demand for better grades. Mixed lot* were en tirely neglected. Tlie sales of the day range from 32>£®33e. We hoard of sales amounting to 200 bales ami upwards. RECAPITULATION.
