Bailie & Bro. are receiving fresh additions to their stock of Carpets, including some beau tiful ingrains, at very low prices. Gold went to its highest point in July, 1864, when it touched 285.

He announces the arriyal of a. lot of cheese and . mackerel in daffngper. , _ Coal Sale.— Thirty thousand tons of Scranton coal were sold in New York on the 3d, at prices ranging from $3.75 to $5.60 per ton. At the December monthly sale thirty-eight thousand tons were sold at $3.75 to $5.85. Dead Broke.— A. W. Rixon, one of "the capitalists” who made a tour of this country with Sir Morton Peto, has followed the example of that gentleman, and several others of the party, and gone into bankruptcy. His debts are £llO,- 000. His assets £4,000. W. H. Crank, — Hiis well known gen tleman—long identified "with the dry goods trade of Augusta—is now with ♦he popular house of D. R.

Forsyth has received 2,460 bales. The Constitutional Amendment— A Nick Distinction for Congress.— The question whether one of the late rebel Stales can be considered as a State in the ratification of a constitu tional Amendment, and still be not a State entitled to representation in Con gress, has created much confusion throughout the country, and in Congress itself.— N. Y. Herald. Richmond Countv Superior Court. In this Court, yesterday, Judge Hook passed the following sentences: George, alias, Henry Cunningham, having burglars’ tools in his possession, five years at hard labor in the Peniten tiary.

Thk Nkw York Canals. —There are twelve canals in the State of New York with an aggregate length o( 886 miles and connecting natural channels of 386 mile*, making the entire length of navi gable canals within the State, 1172 miles. The total cost of these canals wns $65,644,848, the receipts tlieretrom, $93,272,277, expense of repairs and management, $25,087,648. While the receipts have more than paid for the canals, only four have yielded net revenues. Augusta Daily Press— We have been surprised that this sterling jour nal has not got more foothold in the country. It is published for about half the price of the other Augusta papers, contains the latest news, reliable reports of the markets, and as much matter of general interest as any paper in the South. In these times of economy mid money saving, those in want of an Augusta daily paper, would do well to seud $5 for a year’s subscription to the Daily Press.— Washington Gazette. The Tax os Cottos. —lt has been repeatedly stated that cotton manufac tured in the district where it is grown is exempt from the tax of three cents per lb. This is an error. According to the Act of July 13, 1866, cotton taken by a manufacturer in the district where it is grown, before it has paid the tax, must be returned by such manufacturer, and the tax paid by him monthly ; and there is a very heavy penalty for his re fusal or neglect to attend to this require ment. Labor. Noticing the meeting of planters called in various portions of Mississippi and elsewhere, to consult as to the best sort of contract to make with freedmen, the Picayune recommends the adoption of the usual free State plan with men of all colors: “I’ll hire you by the month or week at so much, feed you alone so long as you stay with me, aud discharge you whenever you fail to do good work ; pay you cash down at the end of your month." Reduction of Foreign Postage. — Since January 1, 1867, the rates of postage on letters and papers conveyed by a British packet, or partly by British and partly by a United States packet, from this country to any foreign port, in the West Indies, is as*lollows: Upon letters for Guadulope, Hayti, and Martinique, via England, twenty nine cents per single rate of half an ounce, and upon newspapers, four cents each, prepayment required. Upon let ters (or Porto Rico, Jamaica, and other West India Islands, except Cuba, by British mail via Havana, eighteen cents per tingle rate of half ounce ; news papers, four cents each, prepayment re quired. Elkctiux o* Judges and Solici tors.—The Sum them Recorder gives the following result of the recent elec tions for Judges and Solicitors in the different circuits ns far as received st the Executive Department: Ocmuigec Circuit—Hon. Augustas Reese Tedlected Judge Without opposi tion For Solicitor, the rnce between Capt. Kenan and Btouni is close, antfseveral counties are to hear from. Macon Circuit—Hon. C. B. Collelec ted without opposition. Southwestern Circuit—Calhoun, De catur, Dougherty and Sumter counties gave Strozier 320, Scarbrough, 324, Simms 204, Vason 144, Pat&ull Circuit—The returns indicate the election of Hon. J. F. Clark over J. C. Bower, Esq. Buckwheat Cakes —Hall's Journal of Health, says buckwheat cakes, prop erly baked, are very healthy and nutri cious. They should be put on a soap stone griddle, over a good fire, and turned once only, and the sooner they are eaten after baking, the better aud healthier they are. When turned over more than once," like wheat cakes, they are spoiled, and iustead of being the most nutritious of food, become the most indigestible. Some housewives, not knowing this fact—which is really a chemical one—spoil this favorite food_ Soapstone griddles require no grease, aud never burn the cakes. Dr. M. Bernhardt Remains Two Days Longer. —ln consequence of the great number of applications lor relief, and at the urgent request of many of our prominent citizens, Dr. Bernhardt has consented to remain in the City until Saturday afternoon, 3 o’clock. Persons suffering from defective vision should call at once at his office, Plant ers’ Hotel. He is able to give relief to uearly all diseases of the eye, and to strengthen and restore the sight of those who are partially blind. His glasses are warmly recommended by profes sional men, and by all who have used them, as the best adapted to remedy defective vision that have ever been manufactured. The citizens of Au gusta may not have another chance for years of obtaining the best quality of glasses. ' f Largest Circulation. —For some time past we have kept the notice stand ing at the head of our columns that we had “the largest city circulation.” We did this in no boastful spirit, bat in simple justice to the paper —knowing that the advertising public would natu re ! y enough think the circulation of the old papers might excel that of the Pr ss, in the first year of its existence. The recent contest for the Postoflice Pr nting, which required a sworn state" me l ol the City circulations, has vindi- C»tH the truth of onr declaration. This printing, though unimportant in itself, is a standing evidence to the business public —which cannot be gainsaid —that the paper containing it has the most readers, and is, therefore, the best medium for advertising. The Press i» emphatically the peo ple’s paper, and being published at half We price of the other papers, while it gives better telegraphic news, and a care ful synopsis of the news of the day, it is useful to everybody. Its circulation is rapidly extending in the country also. The truth is, anybody can afford to pay $5 for a daily paper, and thousands will do it, who would not take a daily at double the price. GEORGIA ITEMS. The Savanuah papers allude to the discovery of the body of Mrs. Stevens, an old lady who was mysteriously murdered in December. Several arrests were made, and the parties are to have a hearing soon.

The TlepxMican of this morning publishes the following : Washington, D. C., Jan. 7, 1565. To His Excellency Andrew Johnson : My Dear Governor : I cannot too heartily thank you for your letter, ilatod Nashville, Dec. 30th, 1864, received on Wed nesday evening. There is not a word ora sentence in the article from the Nashville Times, which you enclosed, that does not meet my warmest approbation. I have resd and re-read your letter and it, and have shown both to several intimate friends. I hope soon to bo able to endorse both in my two newspapers, the Chronicle and the Cress. After a pretty thorough canvass, I think the Senators nnd Representatives from Louisi ana will be admitted, and, if lhis is so, it is easy to anticipate that those of Tennessee will also be received. The only person I find opposed to your theory, and who is now hesitating as to the true course to b% pur sued in reference to the admission of Louisi ana, is Mr. Sumner, of Massachusetts. Ho may probably be followed by Wado, Wilkin son, Chandler, aud a few others; but Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, is opcu and de termined in his course, and I think be will carry with him a number of others. The attempt to embarrass the admission of such States as Tennessee, after hav in ggone through such suffering as yours, and after having reorganized their State from a very foundation of principle nnd law, would be a sad proceeding. The fact is, my dear Gov ernor, we cannot resist pence, should the Southern people lay dawn their arms anil demand to come back into the Union under the terms of the amnesty proclamation, agreeing to tho abolition of slavory by tho amendment of the Constitution, and con senting to tho restoration of tho old Union. Any party that opposos such an appeal would come to confusion: nor can wo at tempt to embarrass such questions as t-boso presented in tho caso of Louisiana and Ten nessee, by the Legislature, on tho subject of negro suffrage, because that question be longs to the Stutes; and it will look very odd if tho legislators from the free States should endeavor to confer the right of suf frage upon tho as yet illiterate negroes just delivered from slavory in the South, when in nearly nil the free States the negroes are wholly disfranchised. I feel in high hope that the course of the people of Savannah, which you have, by this time, seen, in corning forward voluntarily and heartily agreeing to the terms offered by tho Government, wilt be followed in other quarters, and that we aro, iu fact, about to realize the beginning of the end of the re bellion. We are looking for you here with much interest. Y'our presence and your counsel are needed. Yours truly, (Signed) J. YY. Fornkt. Tfco PreiidenV(i|ve« aJMnnor. # a. i. 1 WirwnroTOw, J*isr9.
