B. H. PUG HE. Proprietor,
190 Broad and 153 Ellis street.
Made to Sinq.—The Indians Legis
lature is acting on the theory that, a bird
that can sing and won’t sing, must be
made to sing. They have passed a law
called the ‘‘bolting bill," which forces a
man to stay and vote, or go to jail.
Recorder's Oort. —There was but
one case in this Court, yesterday, a big
fuss all for fiin so the parties said, and
so the Recorder fined him five dollars
and costs ‘‘all for fun.” Fun costs
considerable when it is in earnest, “you
know, you know.”
The Bainbridge Argus.—The Bain
bridge Arffus is an excellent journal
It is edited and published by Willis M.
Russell, Esq., and deserves an immense
circulation. Published in a rich and
populous section of the State, it is a
good medium for advertising. We com
mend it to the patronage of the public
generally.
Dividends of National Banks.—
The Washington Republican says that,
according to the reports from 1,500 Na
tional Banks for the last quarter, about
half the banks have declared semi
annual dividends of five, six, eight, ten,
ami some as high as fifteen per cent,
besides carrying from ten to twenty per
cent, of net profit to their surplus funds.
The Bankrupt Bill. —A recent
Washington dispatch says : “The bank
rupt bill is now under consideration in
the Senate. Its lriends think they will
be able to pass it. It is unfortunately
reported with an amendment striking
out the provision which the House tena
ciously Yequired, that the homestead
laws of the States, respectively, shall
not be interfered with. If the Senate
agree to the amendment, and insist upon
it, the bill must fail.”
Southern Florida.—The Floridiaus
are projecting a railroad from Waldo,
on the Florida Railroad, via Ocala to
Tampa. The line is already partially
graded, and the Florida road proposes
to put a large force on the route as soon
as the grading on the main line is com
plete.
The last three trips of the steamer
Dictator took down two thousand treed
men for the planters of East and Middle
I‘lorida, and the development of the
fine lands of that section will make the
above railroad a necessity.
Work or Starve —The agent of the
Freedmen’s Bureau in Chattanooga pub
lishes a card requesting the Relief Com'
mittces of that city not to aid those
applicants for charity who refuse to work
for fair wages. He says that twenty-one,
in one day, chiefly women, applied so»
relief, and when offered good homes
refused to accept them. Government
charity will be extended only to the
aged, destitute, and cripples, or those
actually unable to obtain work. Five
hundred and fifty orders were issued |;y
the Charitable Union at their last weekly
issue of rations.
New York Lively.— A chatty corres
pondent says that in spite of the gloomy
forebodings of the political thinkers and
the currency tinkers, New York revels
in a perfect blaze of enjoyment. Though
the streets are full of hungry mechanics
out of work, and the garrets are grim
pictures of gquallid poverty and want
the theatres end opera houses are
crowded, and the drawing rooms are
vocal with balls, masquerades, and social
diversions of the gayest character.
We read of an ancient violinist, who
fiddled while Rome was burning, but
they seem to have a whole city full of
Nero’s in Gotham.
fSt. Valentine's Day is near at
hand ; Quina, the popular new* dealer,
k*s agaed ssppfy ot Valentine., as will
be seen in our advertising columas.
A'so, several new books.
Snu. Tuax Cons.—A gentleman
from Waynesboro’ came into our office
yesterday, and inquired if the paper waa
published here that had to pay SI,OOO
black mail ? On being informed that
such was tha fact, be eaid: “Well,
here's DF-fire, dollars for one ytf’s
subscription. I’ll help you out in old
Burke so far os I cau.”
Pkrsooal—Bishop Lynch, af the
Catholic Church, arrived here, from
Charleston, last evening, en route to
Atlanta, to which city he goes, at the
invitation of severul citizens, for the
purpose of delivering a lecture for the
benefit of the poor of that city. He will
deliver his lecture in the Presbyterian
Church, and his subject will be “The
Tunnels of tie Alps.”
We hope that the Bishop will soon
favor our citizens with a lecture.
Heavy on Them.— ln the House of
Delegates of Virginia, on Thursday, a
resolution was offered to tax “con
firmed bachelors" for the support of
widows and orphans left dependent by
the war. One of the “confirmed” af
our elbow suggests that if all the men
had been bachelors, there would have
been no widows or orphans made by the
war.
Defeated. —The S/uthern Christian
Advocate says that the proposition to
change the name of the Methodist Epis
copal Church, South, submitted to the
Annual Couferences by the Genera!
Conference, has been defeated. From
the same source we also learn that the
Lay Delegation proposition stand a
chance of sharing the same fate.
Batter Cakes Without Egos or
Milk.— A lady friend sends the La-
Grange Reporter the following rrcipe tor
making batter cakes without eggs or
milk:
“Sift one quart of corn meal, add salt,
pour boiling water upon the meal, cool
by pouring in cold water, then thicken
with one pint of sifted Hour, and fry as
ordinary batter. Cakes thus prepared
will be found equal to those containing
eggs and milk.”
Cokci li a ton ( '■o Called). —We are
credibly iufbrmed that .1. L. Stockton
(the Bonus man of the Coiislitutiontili.it)
was requested by n gentleman to invite
the Proprietor and all hands of the
Daily Puess to the Supper (which our
funds paid for) on last Friday uight.
S. refused, saying “he did not want any
thing to do with us or our employees.”
We should rather think he didu't, after
having got our spoons.
I XFOUM at ion W a nted. —ln formation
is desired as to the whereabouts of John
F. Bunch, of company “H," Hawthorn’s
regiment, Arkansas infanUy, who was
captured at Helena, Arkansas, on the
4th day of July, 1863, and carried to
Alton, Ilf., and thence to Fort Delaware,
from which latter prison he was, in Oc
tober, 1864, sent, on apeeial exchange,
to some point South, where he is sup
posed to have died. Address: “Secre
tary of Augusta Cenotaph Club.”
Exchanges please copy.
Sensible. —The Waynesboro’ Times
says: “There can be no better time
than now to urge upon our farmers the
very great importance of their planting
a large corn crop. Let them make a
sufficiency of Cotton in order to bring
greenbacks in the country, but let them
not neglect corn, oats, or anything
adapted to our soil and climate, that
will aid in feeding the people and pro
moting the growth of domestic animals.
Don’t depend on making Cotton, and
then buying provisions with the money
from the West, but make your own
eatables, and some to sell to your less
fortunate neighbors.”
North British Review and Black
wood's Edinburg Magazine.— We have
received from the publishers, the Leo
nard Scott Publishing Company, 38
Walker street, west of Broadway, New
York, the North British Review for
January, and Blackwood's Edingburg
Magazine, also for January. These are
capital publications, and have become
standard works of literature, and will
equal the other Reviews of British
politics.
These publications are reprinted by
the Leonard Scott Publishing Company
in a neat and readable style, and should
receive a liberal patronage.
“Too Full for Utterance.”— The
Chronicle and Sentinel , in its Sunday
morning notice of the “Bonus Supper,”
Says:
“ Out of the largeness of their hearts,
the proprietors of the Constitutionalist
and of the Chronicle and Sentinel, ten
dered the attaches of the Telegraph
Office, and the employees of both offices
a Complimentary Supper, on Friday
night.”
Query ? —“Out of the largeness of
their hearts?” Wasn’t it out of the
SI,OOO we paid them ? Neighbor, hope
that you are not too full for utterauce,
eh ?
Largest Circulation— To Business
Mss.—The Daily Press now pays the
United States Interuul Revenue Tax,
which is levied on papers "having a cir
culation of two thousand or more
copies.” Hadn't our neighbor across
the way better take down from the head
of its columns its boast that it “is the
only journal in this section of Georgia
that pays this tax, and therefore must
have the largest circulation ?” We think
so; and that its Daily Press sup
ported columns do not afford “the best
medium fbrmakingyonrbusiness known.
The Daily Press pays the Revenue,
has the List of Letters, is the Official
Journal at the City, and pays SI,OOO
bonus for its telegraphic news. “A
word to the wise,” etc.
TItKATEE. —The thrilling drama of
Kariiteßii Mavourneon was pres*nted
for the fifth time, by Mr. Watkins and
sci« capital company last Right. Tbl* is
one of Mr*. Watkins' favorite charac
ter*. end she played it with admirable
spirit last uight. The company have in
preparation some novelties, to be brought
out as their setson here draws tq a
cloae.
Sensation.—A Radical paper says :
“■nough is already known of the char
acter of tha evidence to come boffire the
Judiftarf Committee the impeach
ment investigation to fully justify the
statement that a chain of startling cir
cumstantial evidence . concerning Mr.
Johnson’s past acts and purposes will
be developed, which will astonish the
country.”
Snch stuff as the above it set afloat
to brace np the popular temper to th®
desperate measures contemplated by the
Radicals at the next session.
The Nashville Journal of Medi
cine and Surgery. —We are in receipt,
by mail, of (he above handsome and
valuable periodical. It is edited by a
corps of able and distinguished Physi
cians and Surgeous, two of whom (Dr.
Paul F. Eve and Dr. Joseph Jones)
were formerly residents of this City.
Terms, $5 a year, payable in advance.—
Chronicle and Sentinel.
The Chronicle (edited and owned by
native Georgians) takes no notice of a
Medical and Surgical Journal published
in this City, and edited by Georgia gen
tlemen, but recommends one published
in another city and State. Is this the
right spirit?
Hose Carriage for Columbia.—
The Firemen’s Association of New
, York are getting up a very elegant hose
carriage to be presented to the Inde
pendent No. 1, of Columbia, S. C. The
carriuge will cost over $3,000, and will
be supplied with a full complement of
hose. It will be finished in the most
costly manner, painted in carmine and
gold, and carry silver lamps. The front
arch will be surmounted by chimes of
small bells, with a presentation plate
thereon, in the shape ot a Gro cap front.
On the end of the front box, on one side
will be the coat of arms of the city of
Columbia, and on the other that of the
city of New York. Two fancy paintings
adorn the rear box, on the bnck ol
which is the word “Independent,” and
on the front box the date of the organ
ization of the Company, 1837. A com
mittee will bring out the carriage in
February, visiting Philadelphia, Balti
more, Richmond, and Charleston, on
the way. It will be a pleasant and ac
ceptable token of lraternal good will,
which should ever inspire the true fire
man, and u bond of harmony and re
anion between the cities represented by
the donors and recipients of the timely
offering.
Singular Mouse Story. —A lady
down town, who has the habit—like a
great many other ladies—of putting her
small cliunge in a bnrean drawer, where
she keeps all those little odds and ends
of lace, ribbons, flowers, and knic-k
--nacks, which accumulate under the
changes of fashion—was repeatedly an
noyed by losing some of her deposits of
pin money. She had more than inti
mated that Miranda, the house maid,
must have “been meddling with that
drawer”—and yet Miranda had lived
with her ever since the war, and never
had been known to steal the value of a
cent. Finally, she determined to “take
a good look,” and see if the missing
greenbacks could not be found. So she
todk out, piece by piece, all the little
odds and ends—enough to start a little
millinery store —and was about to give
up in despair—declaring that “Miranda
must know something about it”—when
she discovered in the extreme corner ol
the drawer, a little round bunch, looking
for all the world like a superanuated
waterfall. Upon examining it, she found
five little innocent mice snuglv ensconsed
amid a nest made of fragments of crewel,
old lace, ribbous, and her missing frac
tional currency, to the amount of $6.75!
Miranda was not discharged, and the
mice are to be installed us household
pets.
Gone to Work. —The Albany (Ga.)
Patriot, of the 17th inst., says : “Many
of our planters have gone to work, and
are turning up the soil with a vim, that
looks like old times. Those who were
fortunate enough to procure a full corps
of hauds are making preparations lor a
large crop. However, there are many
planters without more than half help
enough to man their plantations, While
there are some with scarcely any hands
at all. The negroes generally have all
gone to work in this locality. There are
none to hire, and help must come from
some other source if all the land of
Southwestern Georgia is placed under
cultivation.”
We are pleased (says the Savannah
News) to state that we have similar
intelligence from all the counties in
Southern and Southwestern Georgia.
We learn, also, that the views ex.
pressed by this paper in regard to the
diversVicntion of the crops are gene
rally approved by the planters, who
concur with us in the opinion that if,
in the past year, the plun had been
adopted aud followed of planting a full
provision crop, the Bouth would have
been better off than now. They have
intelligently considered the question .
Who can raise Cotton, to the exclusion
of breadstuff's, and sell it for thirty or
thirty-five cents per pound, when he
works freedmen, and pays twenty five
cents per pound for bacon, and hue
dollar and a half per bushel for corn,
wheu flour is sixteen and nineteen dol
lars per barrel, and an ordinary milch
cow is regarded cheap at thirty dollars,
and when every, necessary article is at
equally high rates ? Out of the earth
must come our relief from the terribly
depressed condition of the present, and
by the provident system of plantiug we
have suggested*

columns this morning that they are pre
pared to furnish all kinds of-goods in
their line at reasonable prices. Their

a great variety, embracing all the latest,

in their Use.of business.
Large Salk of Horses. —The auc
tion sale of Mr. Dehoney, at the Palace
Stables on yesterday, was largely at
tended, and appeared to be very satis
factory in its results. Mr. Bradshaw,
an auctioneer of the Old Dominion
school, from the house of Crump, David
son & Cos., officiated on the occasion,
and showed himself an expert on the
stand. Horses sold at prices ranging
from SIOO to $265, and the prices of
mules took a similar ranges. One pair
of mules brought $5lO. Quite a num
ber of planters were in attendance, and
the stock offered seemed well adapted to
their wants. Such sales are a great
convenience to buyers, and we hope
Mr. Dehoney may be induced to estab
lish regular stock sales.
Thirty-four horses and forty-five mules
were sold. The terms of sale were cash.

Burning of the Steamer Gen. Shkp

Ross, left here Saturday, bound to the
Ogechee fora cargo of rice, and on Sun
day night, while lying at anchor in
Osabaw creel?, about 12 o’clock, the
boat was discovered to be on fire. Every
exertion was made by the officers and
crew to extinguish the flames, but their
efforts proved unavailing ; she burnt to
the waters’ edge. The origin of the fire
we could not learn.
The Gen. Shepley was owned hy
Messrs. C. L. Colby & Cos., of this city.
We have not been able to learn whether

COMMERCIAL.
The following is from the Weekly Cotton
Circular of Wm. Bryoe i Cos., New York.
January 25, 1867:
Our own market for the week has been
dull and declining iu sympathy with Liver
pool and gold, while the heavy receipts at
the ports have aided the downward move
ment. The market has in fact been in
such a position that quotations have been
entirely nominal; the views of holdors and
the prices buyers would pay differing from
one to two cents a pound. Our shippers
regard Liverpool with doubtful eyos, and
room determined to await the falling off in
receipts before venturing shipments of any
moment. Ordeis to purchase are very few,
and all at very low rates. Our own mills
keep out of the market, most of them
having more Cotton than will satisfy their
wants for some time to come. The city of
Providence never had so much Cotton in her
warehouses as at pro,out, and trade with
her mills never more dull. Indeed, many of
the manufacturing companies have deter
mined to reduce their running time and
wages from HI to 25 per cent, after the first
proximo. The loss incurred by making
goods to be sold at current rates from Cotton
bought when most of the mills laid in their
stocks render tho stoppage of the machinery
almost advisable. • Speculators who have
overstocked themselves here are pushing
their Cottons to Liverpool, thus keeping up
the weekly shipments to about 30,000 bales.
The extreme dullness of the week has
affected all but the higher grades, which
have remained steady in spite of the leth
argy which has bung over the rest of the
market.
General Remarks. —For some three
weeks past we have called the attention of
our friends to the probable effect of the dull
ness of the demand fur manufactured goods,
and the fall in Cotton since January Ist has
not, therefore, been so surprising; it seomed
very certain that, with the dullness in goods
the price of the raw material must declino
to a point where it could be used, at least,
without a loss by manufacturers iu general.
We have taken occasion to warn our planter
friends against tho fallacy of believing in a
Cotton famine, and now would reiterate our
estimates of 1,800,000 bales. The following
figures indicate such a result, and coincide
fully with the proportional statements made
in November and December. Taking the
six years before the war as a basis, the re
ceipts of December were, on an average, 14}
per cent, of the entire crop. The receipts
at the ports for December, 1866, were iu
round numbers, 300,000 bales, whioh indi
cates a crop of 2,000 000 bales. Granting
the necessities of planters, high rivers, etc.,
have brought forward the crop 10 per cent,
more rapidly than usual, and then 1,800,000
bales as a crop will be the result.
In the yesr 1856 to 1857 16} per
cent, was received in December, the
largest percentage in the six years. 2 his
gives a crop of 1,800,000 bales. On the
31st of January, the averago proportion of
the orop reoeived for the six years before
tho war was 52} per cent. The present
indications are, that we shall have re
ceived at that time at least 990,000 bales,
which would give a crop of about 2,000,-
000 bales. Again, making the same allow
ance for shortness of funds with the plant
ers, etc., it leaves a crop of 1,800,000 bales.
To make a crop of 1,500,000 bales, Cotton
must have come on 25 per cent, more
rapidly than during the average of tho six
seasons we have taken as a basis ; and
when we consider the lateness of this orop
this soems very improbable. As wo have
urged all along, it is not from any over
supply that wo feel any apprehensions as
to Cotton, but it is from a lack of consump
tion.
The often repeated condition of things is
again apparent —markets fram being bare
are overstocked ; the close ot our war found
the world with an extremely scant supply
of ootton goods, and the immense produc
tion thus provoked has produced its natu
ral effect in a surfeit of manufactured mate
rials This condition of things finds its
correcting force in decreused production
and lower rates for both goods and tha
materials whence they are made. We have
sone5 one thus fiiliy into detail to endeavor to
isabuse the idea so prevalent at the South,
that “fancy” prices are soon to prevail for
Cotton—an error into whioh so many were
last year led with such unfortunate results.
We do aotfear any serious fall from present
rates, bat we regard current quotations as
fully high onougb to bo warranted by tbs
probable consumption.
