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* OftEELKY on Finance.—Greeley says »n the legislation now "needed oa the currency question it a short apkof this letior :' j .- : 0 V/ :> VTA . - • A bill to provide for the resumption of specie payment. Section 1. The Secretary of Uie Treasury is hereby au thorised to borrow, from time to time, at the most favorable rates which may be attainable by advertising for bids in opeu market, as may be necessary to enable him to resume and maintain specie payment. House Furnishing Goods.— Messrs. Jonesv Stayrtt £ &>., announce in our columns this morning that they are pre pared to furnish all kinds of-goods in their line at reasonable prices. Their speciality i» stove*, of which they have a great variety, embracing all the latest, and most improved styles. The “Good Saraeriten,” a cut ol which appears in their is highly recom mended 88 a cooking stove, and is wor * thy ot an examination by all house keepers, who are interested in having a good stove, one that they can always rtly upon. We invite all Interested to call at the store of Messrs. Jones, Smyth A Cos., and examine their splendid stock of goods. They have all that is needed 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. j Burning of the Steamer Gen. Shkp ley.—The steamer Gen. Shepley, Capt. 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 .-lip was insured or not. The officers and crew arrived here last night on the steamer H. M. Cool.— Sav. Advertise r. It will be recollected that the Gen. Shepley formerly plied between Savan nah and Augusta. 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. ——■■a— - |, i Bji SUUgrapl).
