Loss or the Steamer Eclipse.— The fine river steamer Eclipse, which, for more than a year, has been plying between this City and Savannah, ex ploded her boiler at Purysburg, about 25 miles this side of Savannah, on Saturday last, killing the Captain, Ilobt- Carter, the assistant engineer, Mr. Thou. Bottom, and two freedmen—one u fire man and one a striker—whose names wc did lot lean . George Lark, col ored, the pilot, was badly scalded. The balance ol the crew escaped, some of them slightly injured. \ lie boat parted in the middle under the shock, and went down immediately, with everything on board. Fortunately, the explosion oc curred ju-t as the boat was landing to take oil wood, enabling the crew who I were uninjured to escape to the shore, l else the loss of life might have boon j greater. I Captain Carter was an efficient offi | cer and a worthy man. He leaves u j family in this city to mourn his tin timciy loss. Mr. Bottom was also a faithful and reliable rnan, and h as* s a widowed mother and other relatives, who were in part dependent upon him. 1 h*v;e families, pn well as those of t' e faithful colored men who lost their lives by this disaster, are entitled to especial sympathy and considuratiou from our citizens. The boat wa loaded with condemned Government property, recently sold in this City, and with lumber taken on at some ol the landings below. 1 lie Ecdipsc was a boat 'of lighter draft than any on tho river, requiring less than two feet ot water, and wain therefore, especially valuable to the river trade.

We extract the following from the Weekly j Cotton Circular of AV ill in in Bryce & Cos., j dated New York, December 28, 1866: Tho receipts show n marked increase over any week yet running up to 80,000 bales ; but even that figure is not as high as it should he to give n crop of oar estimate. If the present week shows a total equal to last we shall have received just about 750,000 bales at the p >rts on the first of January, 1867. Many persons feel con vine 1 that, fully naif the crop will then be counted ; others, reasoning ou the «.f 1857-5, think 45 per cent, will then be in, which would ind’eate a crop of 1,650,006. I r t hotrov-T, tl < r t eipfs of the *ix yevrs before dio vrnr ag a gold* only gem a 4.0 per cent will have been receivod, or the crop would reach 1,875,000 bales. The average of six years seems the fairest, al though the similarity of the present season to ’67-’. p >B strit ng, as far as the cond ; - lion of ti c planters is concerned. From our own correspondence we are aware that mine section* arc ever: now pretty thorough ly swept of their crop, yet it is equally true that the cotton from other sections has but just commenced to fairly move. Many persons are misled, we think, concerning the probable amount to come forward by the reluctance so openly avowed by planters to sell at going rates. Although there is no doubt of this reluctance, it is equ illr true that a great number i«rr in Mned U» press their crops to the outports where ad vancos can ho obtained. Taking this view of the case, and considering the absolute necessity of many farmers, it may be fair to assume that the crop is moving some whut more quickly than usual, in spite of the comparatively low rates ruling. Wo therefore reiterate our e»timu!eof I,SUO,OUU bales, although we confess that the chances of the crop under-running tluvo figures nre greater thun of over running them. The goods trade continues very dull, and until it becomes fairly active again we do not lo k for any very material advance based on actual consumptive demand. Augusta Market. Augu-t*, Jar. 2—6 P. M.
