Avgusta Street Railway. —The
Charleston News of yesterday, under
stands that Mr. Owen, who . has just
completed the street railway for the
City by the Sea, is negotiating (or
building a similar road for this City.
Maximii.ian to Visit Us. —We are
told he proposes to make a tour, under
a strict incognito, through the Unit' and
States, of which country he is a great
admirer. He often expresses his wish
to see the North American Republic
and its people, whom he olten called
the greatest practical people of the
world.— New York Times.
If he wishes to retain his good opin
ion of us, w • advise hi in to stay away.
SriciDN.— l>r. T. J- Shirlnnd of
Augusta, Georgia, committed suicide in
Baltimore on Friday, by cutting his
throat with a razor, at tire public house
of Mr. Martin C. Hanley, corner of
Water and Grant streets The deceased
was 30 years ot age, and a gentleman
of education.— Exchange.
There must be an error in the name,
or else in the location of the Doctor.
We do not know of any physician ol
that name having resided iu this City.
Ox Dit.— Wc learn that steps are
being taken to establish in l h' 3 county
a 'manufactory of agricultural imple
ments. This is a move in the right
direction. In this connection we would
say that the Executive CotnmiOee of the
Agricultural Society of this county meets
at 12 in., to morrow at Wright & Gib
son’s office.
SußftAtT as a Witness Against
Jeefkkhon Davis.—’ The Radical organ
at Washington, the Chronicle, intimates
that Mr. Davis’ trial will take place at
Richmond in the spring of 18K7, and
that Surratt will be pardoned upon
condition that he will testify against
Mr. Davis in connection with the plot to
assassinate Mr. Lincoln. — Exchange.
The trial will have to take place before
a Civil Court this time, and false wit
nesses will have less effect than they
did formerly. At least, we hope so-
Surratt may not accept the terms sug
gested.

road. —Tt will be seen, by reference to
a dispatch from the Charleston Courier f
in another column, that the South Caro
lina House of Representatives has
passed n bill guaranteeing the bonds of
the Colunibi-i \ Augusta Railroad, and
authorizing the transfer of a certain
amount of Charlotte Railroad Bonds to
the former Road. This action will,
no doubt, be sustained in the Senate,
and the Columbia A Augusta Railroad
thus receive the benefit of capital tb the
amount of SIIO,OOO. This will, of
itself, secure the completion of the Road
The subscription of SIOO,OOO, or, if
preferred, a loan of that amount, by the
City Council of Augusta, will secure its
completion to this City, aud the location
of its depots anl machine shops here.
Dr. Bernhardt. —People who have
any affection of the eyes, no matter of
what nature, which prevents their seeing
as well as they might wish, should not
fail to visit this celebrated optician, at
his office at the Planters’ Hotel. A
life-long study of this peculiar branch
of surgery enables Dr. Bernhardt to tell
at a glance the nature of the defect:
and the great discoveries which he has
made ensure a speedy remedy. t
Tiik Southern Opinion.—' This is to
he the title of anew literary and politi
cal journal about 1o be established in
Bidiniond by H. Rives Pollard, Esq.
It is to be “a true exponent of Southern
thought and sentiment;” hence the
title; and is to be published weekly,
for the present, at SI.OO per year, or
$2 50 for six months. A prize of SIOO
is offered for the best poem on the Con
federate Dead ; SIOO for the best poem
in laudation of the deeds, valor, suffer
ings, and sacrifices of the Confederate
soldiers ; and SIOO tor the best poem on
tha great prisoner ol Fortress Monroe,
JefTersort Davie.
The experience of Mr. Pollard as a
journalist, and his liteanry character;
are a sufficient guarantee that the new
journal will bo well worthy of support.

Superintendent Preparatory School,
In the language of tho *epoft, of ihe
Committee ou Education, made to the
Georgia ’Conference daring its recent
sesssion :
“It will be seen that this old and
favorite Institution has again entered
fully upon its work ofeducation and offer*
facilities for a complete collegiate course
of Study, This is done under Circum
stances which strongly emphasize its
claim to the favorable consideration,
especially of the Methodiht public. The
faculty, most of whom have long beeu
connected with the College, have held
their position, to the detriment of their
own personal interest, and now at the
earnest request of the Board of Trus
tees, with no hope pf a monetary eqtiiv
aleut for their labors, consent to’give to
the College their time, their talents and
their reputation.”
As is generally known, Emory College
is lbcn’ted at Oxford, a very pleasaut
and healthy village, on the Georgia
Railroad, about lorty utiles below
, iAt licit t .
There are, we believe, several voung
men, in our city, who are now preparing
for College, and the attention of these
the writer would respectfully invite to
the educational advantages offered by
his Alma Mulct' —advantages that are
at once shown iu the names of the
Faculty.
Dr. Thomas, the President, in his
Conference speech, said : “The country
needs men—that is, just now, hergreatest
want. Send us the boys, and we will
give you the men,”
Not Crelhhle.—lt is said that the
increased price of bird seed, is measu
rably accounted for in its having come so
generally into use by so many of our
Indies,’ for the purpose of improving
their form. A religious contemporary
says :
“It seems by the manner of its use it
will deceive the most wary. It is said
to he inclosed in small bags adapted to
the proper size and shape, attached in
some peculiar way to the underlining so
that at the motion of the body the
bagged bird seed moves so as to resent
ble very much the living flesh.”
Wiped Out.— The ex-King of Hano
ver, under advices from England, has
released his subordinate officials from
tbeir allegiance to his throne and Ins
house. His kingdom is no more one of
the kingdoms of the world. Bismark
has wiped it out. - New York Herald.
And is it to be so with the States of
the South ? Is it to be recorded that
Radicalism has wiped them out ? Pause
Bismarks of America, before you com
mit so fatal an error.

Whereas, Death is at all times an un

LUMBUS EASTERLING, this Company
has lost an efficient member, tue com

licsolrrcl, That this Company will

struggles in the cause of Southern Rights ;
and that each member will strive to follow
his example in doing to tho utmost of his
ability, all that a good Fireman should do.

AUGUSTA WEEKLY MARKET.
atPORTKD KPKCIALLY FOR THE DAILY FR*BB.
Opkict: PA*ti.Y t'nrss*, I
Augusta, (Ja., Dec. 15, ISCG. j
At the close of our Inst report there fleemed to
he more life ruanifestod in trade than there bad
b**eu for Home time previous; hut during the week
ending to-day, we are obliged to report a falling off.
Reports reach us from every quarter of stagnnn l
an,| our merchants Jiave failed to realize
tlifir iwitldjj.atioijs of a brisk winter trade. The
prfTiHpal part the* done during this
week has been iu a retail way; wholesale transac
tions have boon limited.
l omiug with thie decline of business is a still
further reduction in the pricea of Bacon, Lard, and
Com. Cotton, however, has not been so affected,
hat, ou the contrary, considerably revived, and has
risen with a feverish rapidity. The demand has
also been much better than for some time back;
and were it. not for the great scarcity of money,
much more business wonld be transacted.
In the compilation of these Trices Cn.rent, we
have endeavored, so far as possible, to have our
quotations ou actual sales, and having carefully
reviewed the market, we that we can coiili
deiitly refer you to the table of quotations.
It ehoutd be borne in. mind that our quo
tatioiis represent wholesale prices. Small, bills, to
Planters and others, are filial at a shade higher
rates.
FINANCIAL.
Money not only continues to be scarce, but is
growing worse and worse day after day. In conse
quence of this paucity of money, securities (ex
cept strictly first class) have been exceedingly
dnll of sale; in fact, concessions have been made,
to effect s«b s, at even less than our quoted rat"s.
New York Sight Exchange is checked by the
Banks at par. Out door rates if to per cent
discount. Thirty Day Bills are taken at M per
cent, discount; Sixty Day Bills, at per cent
discount.
But little is done in IJncurrent Bank Notes, and
quotations are considerably off. For a full table
of reference, s t; e table.
Stocks and Bonds are but slow sule. Specie,
after taking a sudden start upwards at the dose of
last week, has, since then, steadily declined.
When We close our report the fuliowiug are
Brokers’ rates:
(mid, buying 1 fit)
Hold, selling . 1 42
Silver, buying 1 33
Silver, selling 1 40
PROYISIOXS.
It will he seen by the following remarks that
many of the principal articles of trade have again
met with a heavy decline.
BACON—Has suffered a more severe tumble
thau any other article. The market is dull and
drooping, and we note a full decline of at least 2c.
per lb. on Shoulders and Sides. Hams, which have
for so long a time held their own, are from 5 to 7c.
off on former figures. The demand is but limited,
and we quote Shoulders at ; B. B. Sides,
13b4)13>5c.; C. R. Sides, 14@-14)$c.; Clear Sides.
14V£<ftl5c.; Hams, plain, 15^220c.; Canvassed, 22($
25c.; Choice, 25®2ftc.; Country, 20(<«.25c.
BUTTER —Is steady; Ooshen, 45®50c. per lb.;
Western, 3tL3J35c.; Country, 35c. The supply i H
ample, with fair inquiry.
CHEESE.—There is a fair demand and good
stock. Prices favor buyers: Factory, 20^22c.
per lb.; State, 18-<H2Oc ; English Dairy, 24a>2Go.
FLOUR.—The stock of Northern ami Western
Flour remains quite limited. A strictly good
article is very scarce in the market. 'l’hcre has
been no perceptible reduction this w’eek. Flour
remains stilt at figures given.
BUCKWHEAT.—Ia this article there has been
no change. We quote whole barrel at sl3 00.
The stock is somewhat improved ; inquiry fair.
SUtiAß—llrtS likewise declined. The stock is
full, with a good demand.
LARI)—Has fallen considerably since our last
report. Stock fair; prices shaky. We quote:
Prime Leaf (hbls), 13®15c. per lb.; Prime Leaf
(in kegs), l l&lfic.; Pressed, 12;^@13c.
GRAIN.
CORN—Tins also considerably declined. The
stocks are smaller, and the demand a trifle im
proved. Prices about sc. off. We quote: Mary
land White. $1 tiOuil 05; Western White, $1
1 60; Yellow, «1 62 31 55; Mixed. ?1 50.
DAl'S—Are easier; the stock id Ihrht. « ■* t' °y
are orten asked for. Prices range: $1 (X) a f 110
per bushel.
HAY—Continues to be asked after, and i* very
scarce. Quotations remain unchanged, viz:
Northern, $2 25; Eastern, $2 50.
WHEAT—Cannot be had except for seed. A
choice article will quickly bring higher figures
than those quoted.
fSTjTsrrmiKs.
DRY HOODS.—The demand for ail classes or
winter goods has not been as brisk as hitherto
Prices steady, at figures given.
FERTILIZERS —Are hot in ns active requett as
•before. We quote Peruvian Guano,
per ton.
DRIED FRUIT. —Stock more than adequate to
the demand; prices unchanged-
BAGGING AND ROPE. —There is a regular !e
--inantl for these articles, as the trade requires tliuir
use, but not a heavy one. Prices are again iu
favor of buyers. We quote: Hemp, Greenleaf, 15
©l7c.; Missouri, 15® 16c.; Flax, 11.a15c. The
quotations for tbc latter are only nominal. It
should be remembered that inside figures repre
sent prices at which large lots can bo purchased,
and the outside figures smaller lots.
STAKOH.—<iood supply and fair inquiry. Prices
range: Pure, 13(7U4c. per lb.; Silver Gloss, i.5
<&l6c.
TOBACCO.—Stocks very light. The demand is
very good for Common Sound and Medium Grades.
It should he remembered that in all cases the quo.
tations given are “tax-paid.” Prices stiff.
LEATHER.—The stocks arc fail, and prices re
main steady. There has been a good inquiry, nn4
quite a brisk trade in this article during the week.
YAUN8 —Are steady and have met with n*
noticeable change- We quote: Nos. 4 to 12 at
S3 50 per bunch ; Nos. 14 to 20 at $3 00.
DOMESTICS.—The demand for Augusta Do*
mcritics has been steady, atid there lias been a re
duction in prices.

RKiWLKD FOR THE DAILY PIIKSS,
FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington - , Dec. 15.
In a spirited oolloqnv on the w - ord
white, in the Nebraska Constitution,
Mr. Sherman would not go behind the
enabling act. They had authorized
white people from that State, and
it would be unwise to violate
the agreement. He adds that the
deliberate proposition made to the
Southern States last session was a very
grave and serious proposition. If the
Southern States accepted the proposi
tion, it should be carried out. If they
accepted the .Amendment, he didu’
dream of refusing their a .mittance.
However the Amendment disappoints
some Senators, the people-would hail
its adoption as the most joylul thing
since Lee’s surrender. He was grieved
that the President and Southern States
were unwilling to accept it, hut they
would change. Mr. Sumner denied the
iinaliyt of the Amendment. The issue
made by Mr. Sherman is considered
very important here.
The Committees are hard at work this
morning, but nothiug has transpired.
A party of Congressmen, Senators,
and newspaper tneti, have accepted an
invitation to visit New Orleans during
the holidays, over the through road, via
Grand Junction.
The receipts of customs in the sea
board cities for the week ending the
