one ol the assassin conspirators, will be
removed from confinement at the Dry

tribunal for trial. Similar writs may
issue in the cases of Spangler, Arnold,
and McLaughlin, the other conspirators
confined there.
Advertising. —From the card of a
Boston house, we extract the following,
which is a very odd way of advertising.
Os course, if you want to know what th«
articles are, you have only to call at the
store and enquire :
Hundreds of articles at SI.OO, each;
Thousands at 75, 50, and 25 cents,
each ;
Tens ot thousands at 17, 15, 12, and
10 cents, each ;
Twenties of thousands at C, 5, and 3

A Deserved Compliment. — A feu
evenings since the frieuds of Mr. Otho
W . Moore tendered him a complimen
tary supper, which was accepted, and
proved to be a very pleasant affair. It
was gotten up in a most recherche style
at the St. Charles Saloon.
Mr. M.oore has been for a long time
in tne employ of Messrs. I. Kahn & Cos ,
and has, by his gentlemanly deportment
and numerous sterling qualities, won
many friends, who gave him this supper
as an evidence of their appreciation of
his merits, and to offer them an oppor
tunity of tendering their heartfelt wishes
to him for his present welfare and future
happiness and pros; crity.
An Ediior Gone. — The Rome Com
menial, of the 21st instant, had the
following apology:
Our Associate begs to be excused
for the present week, his Chair Edito
rial, ns he „ lias engagements ou hand
that requires all his time. Such en
gagements frequently trustrste gentle
fneii’s ideas, and give them what, in
common parlance, is termed the cold
chills, but as we propose to say more in
regard to this matter in our next, we
merely render the above as an apology
for this week. Success and happiness
attend him until then.
In the Courier , of Saturday, the fol
lowing notice explains the mystery:

We had the pleasure of meeting with

‘Will .Making and Contesting.—
Our courts ol law are constantly occu
pied with confirming or upsetting some
body's “will and, judging from oar
exchanges, the practice is universal.
Wilis are disputed and contested on every
Imaginable ground and pretense, and
the motives and conduct of the dead are
shown up variously, and often ridicu
lously. In fact, few tilings show the
human character in a more ridiculous
tluyi the circumstance of will
making. Ail that people seem to think
of, in too many cases, is to manage
matters so (in settling accounts with
those who are uninanneily .enough to
survive us) as to do as little good, and
to plague and disappoint as many per.
sons as possible. Hence the Constant
litigation abpgt wills.,
Pranks of a Quadruped,— Y'ester
day forenoon, a gay and festive horse,
aatidsoinelv caparisoned, withovt a rider,
might have been seen dashing up Broad
street, at a gait considerably more ac

in that crowded thoroughfare, inasmuch
as the last equine gave preference to the

that nobody wus Wirt.; and feel sure
that the proprietor ot the nag will unite

Shopping Incident.— The other day,
a lady was examining the fine shawls
and cloaks upon the life-size frames in
a certain store, and finally found a siik
elouk that pleased her very much. She
raised it up, examined it carefully, and
wax at tint conclusion very much aston
ished to find that she had been making
free with tlie dress of a lady customer
who very quietly stood, aa still as a lay
figure, till all of the trimmings of her
dress had been well examined 1
Cheap Luxuries. —There nre many
people who think there can be no great
luxury without a proportionate cost.
Their view is founded on ihe mistaken
notion that all luxuries are expensive,
and that only the rich —whom they
therefore envy—can enjoy them to any
extent. This is far from the truth. Sup
pose the air we breathe, the sunshine
that warms us, the melodies of nature
that charm our ears, tho wonders of
earth and sea and sky that delight out
eves, and all the common blessings God
has vouchsafed to us without tax or
limit, were only- to he had for gold
for much fine gold—would we
not esteem them above rubies? above
all that gold can purchase? Yet these
are the free luxuries of all who have the
sensibility to appreciate them.
But beyond these blessed surround
ings tiiere are abundant cheap acquired
luxuries. The humblest home may have
the delicious luxury of flowers, that
cost only a little labor and care, which
they will repay a thousand fold. There
need be no fireside without the luxury
of books, inusie and conversation, which
are of easy culture and acquirement, j
'lhc greatest luxury of all, a cheerlul |
contentment, is unpurchaseable, aud yet j
may dwell with comparative poverty, j
'ihe poor and hutnhle have more of it j
than the rich ad proud. It is a sad
mistake to suppose that luxuries aye, or
can he, monopolized by the rich. To
the soul of large wlsdou most of the so
called luxuries are hut costly vanities
and vexatious, while the rarest real
luxuries are free or cheap, and are only j
undervalued or despised because they j
are strewn so bountifully in our way.
Pain Killer. —Pain is supposed 1 1
be the lot ot us poor mortals, as inev
Ruble as death, and liable at any time
to come upon us. Though we do not
subscribe to this doctrine in all its length
and breadth, believing that our pains,
acmes, aud sicknesses are the result of
our own folly, our violation of nature’s
laws as they have been instituted by the
Creator, still it is undeniable that the
race has degenerated, and that all of us
bear about us the seeds of disease as
they have followed the great law of he
reditary descent. Therefore it is impor
tant that remedial agents should be at
hand to be used on any emergency, and
when the seminal principle lodged in the
system shall devclope itself, and we be
made to fee! the excruciating agonies of
pain, or the depressing influences of
disease.
Such a remedial agent exists in the
Pain Killer of our fellow townsmen;
Perry Davis & Son, whose fame has ex
tended over all the earth, and whose
names are blessed even from the rising
of the sun to the going down thereof.
Tho Pain Killer has made the circuit of
the globe. Amid the eternal ices of the
polar regions, or beneath the intolerable
aud burning sun of the tropics, its virtues
are known and appreciated. Under all
latitudes, from the one extreme to the
other, suffering humanity has found re
lief from many of its ills. The wide
and broad area over which this medi
cine has spread, attests its value and
potency. No other has, to our know-1,
edge, been so universally and favorably
received. It has made its own highway,
solely by its virtues.
Such unexampled success and popu
larity has brought others into the field,
who have attempted to eclipse the origi
nal. But we are pleased to know that
their efforts have pro ved fruitless. Under
similarity of name they have attempted
to usurp the confidence of the people
and turn it to their own selfishness and
dishonesty. But the people, true to thr
one who was their real benefactor, have,
in the main, stood by the original; the
imposters and their nostrums have sank
into oblivion and merited contempt.
The I’ain Killer derives much of its
popularity from the simplicity attending
its use, which gives it a peculiar value
in a family. The various diseases which
may be reached by it, and, in their in
cipient stages, eradicated, arc among
those which are peculiarly fatal if suf
fered to run ; but the curative magic of
this preparation at once disarms them
of their terrors. In all respects it ful
fills the conditions of a popular medi
cine. Stick to it, therefore: buy the l
the original and genuine. —Providence

Ax Imposing Ceremony. —Under this 1
head the Savannah .Morning News nnd j
Herald , of Dec. 24th, gives the follow j
lug account of the imposing ceremonies
attendant upon the re interment ol j
Bishops Barry, Gartland, and Barron, j
Fathers Hook aud Gillespie, and four
Sisters of Charity in that city oil Sunday |
last. Some of the Catholics of this city j
went down to Savannah to witness the \
solemn ceremonies. The News and j
Herald says:
Yesterday afternoon was appointed j
for the re-interment of the remains of j
the Bishops of the Catholic Church, the
bones of whom were gathered by mem
bers of the congregation in tiiis city
when they were disinterred by the crec- j
tion of the earthworks in the Catholic I
Cemetery soon after the occupation of j
the city by the Federal troops.
The services were held iu St. John’s
Church, aud weie conducted by the
Right Reverand Bishop Verot, assisted
by the Reverend Fathers Defau nnd
Delafusse. The chuich was crowded,
and long belore ih ; hour named for the j
c jmmencemeut it was impossible to ~
obtain even standing room within the
edifice. At the! conclusion of tho ser
vices at the church a procession of the
children of the Catholic schools was
formed, preceded by four boys, each
bearing a wax taper. Then came the
hearses, five in number, and when ap
posite the house of the Sisters of Mercy
they were stopped and freighted with all
that remained of those whom thousands
ot men aud women hold dear to mem
ory Bishop F. X. Gartland, Bishop
Barry, Bishop Barron, Fathers Hook
and Gillespie, and four Sisters of Mercy.
Bishop Barry died in Paris in 1859-
and his remains were brought here some
time si lice by the Right Reverend Bishop
~Verot. r .
As the mournful cortege bearing tliu
mortal remains of these venerated per
sons passed, every hat was raised and
every head bowed in solemn silence. A
long train of carriages followed to the
cemetej-y, but were uot allowed to enter.
1 lie occupants followed to the receptacle
prepared for the reception of the re
mains. A large vault has been erected,
over which, we learn, it is the intention
to build a chapel. The ceremony ot
sprinkling with holy water was performed
h- re, and occupied considerable time,
and at about dusk the children returned
to their homes, The observances of the
occasion were solemnly impressive, aud
were witnessed with respectful interest
by thousands of people.

COMMERCIAL,
Augusta Market.
Aroi—TA. Dec. 27—0 P. M.
COTTON.—There has been a fair demand
to-day, with but a light offering .-took.
Holders are firm in their views, and Fales
were made at: yesterday’s prices. At tho
close of the market ihe same prices ruled
stiff.
Thk Commercial and Financial
Chronicle, of New York, under date of
Friday, P. M., December 21at, 181 G,
says :
The receipts of Cotton the past week
at all the pons amount to’ 7-3,012 bales
o>< ring the largest receipts for any
week this season), against 63,911 bales
the previous week, makim? the total
receipts since September Ist. this year,
594,715 bales, against 741,388 bales for
the same period in 1805. I’m- the cor
responding week of 1865, the receipts
were 79,922 bales. The exports from
all the ports this week amount to 31,664
bales, against 24,281 bales hist week,
of which 28,120 bales were to Liverpool,
362 bales to Havre, 1,153 bales to
Bremen, 1.000 to Barcelona, 938 to
Mexico.
The total foreign exports from the
United States since September Ist, now
amount to 214,841 biles, against
362.266 bales lustyiar.
The market this week has shared but
little in the excitement which the cable
telegrams lead us to suppose has pre
vailed in Liverpool. And yet the failure
of this market to respumi is more ap
parent than real siqee a decline of four
per cent, in gold, and a small advance
in freights, have, of course, had their
natural influence in offsetting the rise
in Liverpool. Receipts at the ports
have slightly increased, and stocks now
reach a very high figure, amounting iu
the aggregate to 48-1,349 bales. Goods
con tin tie dull, and it is not ini probable that
unless an improvement takes place alter
the holidays, the production of the mills
will be reiluc-otl. 'I lie sales of the week
foot up about 17,090 bales, am: while
currency prices are but a Jrille higher,
tlie cost ot laying down cotton in Liver
pool has advanced about half penny
sir cling.
