Ketchum, Jackson street, has a large lot of corn salt, rope, and tobacco, just received and for sale low. His motto is quick sales and small profits. Paradise Lost,—We had the pleas, ure, on yesterday, of meeting Mr. Warren, the affable agent of the Pano rama of “Paradise Lost,” which is to be exhibited in tbe City during the week. Mr. Warren comes well endorsed as a deserving gentleman, and we commend him and his entertainment to the favor able consideration of our readers. National Express Property.—The property of the National Express Com pany, in this City, is advertised for sale at the Market House, next Tuesday. It consists of four black draught horses, four double express wagons, one single express wagou with top, one sett of double harness, and one draught horse, and one single express wagon. \ ALENTINKS.—As St. Valentine’s Day draweth near, it a hehooves all who de sires to take part in the customs of this festival to look- around where they can get a supply of Valentines, so-called. Miss Lucy J. Read advertises a select variety for sale. Miss Read has, also, a lot of waterfall braids and coronets — something new and attractive. The Express Company and the North Caroi.ixa Railroad.—The Co lumbia Phoenix says that the Southern Express Company have bad some diffi culty, for some weeks past, and tbe con sequent* was that the Jdxpress Company had to take a circuitous route tot the transportation of packages. We are glad to learn from the Carolina Times, of Wednesday, that tbe difficulty has been adjusted and the direct route is in use again. Horses and Mules at Auction.— We are pleased to observe that Mr. Dehoney has determined to have an other auction sale ot horses and mules, on Thursday next, Feb. 7th, when he will offer sixty five head of fine young mules and twenty five head of horses, of all kinds, including a number of match pairs for carriage or family use, aud several saddle and plow horses. Parties wishing to offer stock at these sales may do so by sending it in a day or two before the sale. We learn that the Fancy Bazaar, No. 253 Broad street, has changed bauds, and Mr. J. P. Weathersbee has new the management of this popular house. Mr. Weathersbee is well known in this commuuity ns an enterprising, indus trious young man, well deserving of success. He wi'l still contiuue the okding-out of the old stock in the Baiaar below cost prices, to make room for new goods, but, besides, the stock will be kept well assorted. We wiab him unbounded success. • Jewelry and Silver Ware. —Our enterprising neighbor, F. A. Brahe, is receiving a very choice selection of rich jewelry and silver ware, to which the alteotbiu of the public is invited Amoug his goods are sets of sterling silver, of rich patterns, and the very best class of watches and jewelry, all of his own selection. Mr. Brahe has been engaged in the jewelry business in this city for many years, and has built up a substantial reputation both for the re liable character and reasonable price of his goods. Personal.—Messrs. E. 0. Withington and M. J. Divine, of the Savannah Daily Advertiser, were in our City, yes terday. When we saw Mike, we eouldu t help exclaiming, in the lan guugeof Artemus Ward : “Them form [ those voice 1 that nateral way ot do'in’ things!” and so with Ned. Well they are both pood looking boys, and we are rather proud of them ; tor they are worthy representatives of Augusta, and publish a capital newspaper in Savan nah, which deserves an unlimited patronage, and, we are pleased to learn, is as popular as it deserves to be. The Cenotaph Club.—We learn that the Executive Committee of the Ceno taph Club have in contemplation a series of Lectures to be given for the purpose of adding to the funds already on hand. Some two months since the Committee loaoed out their funds to the amount of $2,050. upon which has accrued an in terest of upwards of $154, making a toial on hand at present of about $2,194, which has been again invested in sale hands at a good interest. Several prominent gentlemen have been invited to lecture in this behall, and a large addition to the funds will thus thus be secured. Fire is Charleston.—The Courier says that on Friday night about eleven o'clock, fire was discovered in the three story brick bouse, No. 74 Tradd street, north side, between Meeting and King streets, the property of Mr. M. McMan mon. Notwithstanding the prompt ar rival of the firemen, the whole interior of the building was destroyed. For some time the wooden house next door, East, occupied by Win. Laidler, Esq., our Associate, was in imminent danger, but., happily, our noble firemen soon dis polled all tears for its safety. New Machine.—A friend of ours, of au inventive turn, has a novel machine, which he declares will manufacture poe try by the yard. All he has to do is to put a few old exchanges in the hopper, and turn the wheel, vhen “a pome” of any desired length may be pro duced. We put in a few copies of the “Old Conservative Organ,” up the street, ami gave the wheel a single turn with the following result: “Says Moore to Wright, as late one night, They sat in their office conning: What shall we (lo—sinco to this l’ughe Our patrons all are running ? Says Wright to Moore—its hold I’m sure, To let our friends disown us. So let us crush—the Cress to mush By charging it a Bonus." The owner of the machine says he might have produced more, if the raw material Used had been of a better qual ity, and if we think it riyht, will try it ou a few copies of the '‘County Organ” across tbe way. A Million Persons Starved.—We are in the habit of considering ourselves poor, and have undoubtedly suffered severely under the changes of the last five years ; but it may be consoling to know that our lot is much better than others of our fellow-mortals. The Lon don Times, alluding to the famine in the East, says that the deaths from starva tion in Orissa alone, have been 500,00(1 to 000,000. and in some places, three fourths of the people have been carried off. In Midnaporc, Ganjam, Chota, Nag pore, and Calcutta, the mortality has been terrible. India has been visited by several famines of great severity. In 1838-9, 800,000 died in the Tumna Doah ; but the greatest of all previous famines—that of 1779, is fully equalled by that which still rages there. Auction Sales. —On Tuesday next, a number of valuable houses and lots will be offered at auction by the differ ent auctioneers of the city. Day & Inman will sell the valuable property formerly owned by F. A. Mnuge, which has been recently improved, and is now a most desirable place. Also Lots 93, 94, 95, 9G, and 122, fronting 50 feet ou the Mauge Survey, and 142, 148, and 150, fronting Dr. Mark's residence. They will also sell at the Market House, a fine pair of carriage horses, with carriage and harness. C. V. Walker & Cos., will sell at the same time and place as above, the hand some residence near the Lower Market, occupied by Mrs. C. A. Rodgers. It is centrally located, with a lot 82} by 220 feet, and is every way desirable prop erty. Major I. Thompson will sell the house and lot on tbe East side of Twiggs street, nearly opposite Oglesby’s Mill. It is a good stand for a store or residence. , ■ G. A. Parker will sell several valuable lots belonging to the estate of Foster Blodgett, deceased. One of these is the family residence, one of the handsomest and most commodious houses in the city, with a tenement house on Walker I street, the whole now renting for $1,250. The Apocalyptical Tableaux, and the Miltonian Tableaux op Paradise Lost.— These celebrated exhibitions have arrived, anil will open to-morrow evening at Coucert Hall. We under stand that the Tableaux of the Apoca lypse, or the book of Revelations, illus trated, are from original designs by John Martin and Gustave Doru, and have but recently been placed before the public. She exhibition is pronounced by the entire press, Protestant and Catholic, in fact by all creeds, classes and condi. tions, to be the most ennobling, grand, divine entertainment ever placed before the public, and worth tuiles of travel to sse. So far, in America, the halls have not been large enough to hold the peo ple who have thronged to see it. Entire congregations of churches, old gray haired men and women have turned out en masse to witness* this marvellous production. We predict a great rush to Concert Hall while it is here, as it will undoubtedly prove one of the most attractive exhibitions ever opened in the city. The following encomium from oue of the most distinguished divines of Europe shows that the exhibition is deserving of the many and complimen tary notices it has received trom the press of this country : “St. James’ Hall was filled last evening to its utmost capacity. Many were unable to obtain seuts to witness these celebrated tab leaux. Never bare we seen anything on convass so terribly grand and sublime. Heaven, hell, chaos, and paradise are reproduced, as described in Milton’s great poein, illustrating the grandest subject within the reach pf mortal imagination. To be properly appreciated thfcy must be seen, and we will not, therefore, attempt a description of the grand, beautiful, and sublime suenes portrayed, but advise our citizens to visit the tableaux, as they will prove both highly interesting and instructive. It is deserving of the many and com plimentary notices it has received from the press. Newsi-aper Reminiscences. The Macon Journal <t: Messenger contains some interesting rerainiscenses in refer ence to Macon Journalism. The Mes senger was started at Fort Hawkins in in 1823, while Macon was in tbe Greek nation, and moved to the site of the present city a year later. The Telegraph was commenced by Myron Bartlett in 1826. The Macon Citizen is an off shoot or successor of the Muscogee Democrat, started many years ago in. Columbus. Numerous other papers have had a temporary existence in Ma con, but none have prospered. The venerable and esteemed senior of the Messenger —the Nestor of Georgia jour nalism—has staid by that paper from its infancy, and seen the solitudes of that beau iful section bud and bloom into one of the most refined and really at tractive portions of the whole South. His agency in developing the resources of the wilderness where in early life he cast his fortunes, has run up a debt of consideration due him from the people of Bibb and the surrounding counties, which the liberal support now extended tbe Messenyer can never half cancel. In Buying this for the Messenger, we mean no disparagement to its worthy ri vals; but simply to recognize in a passing paragraph, the worth and influ ence ot an esteemed veteran in the journalism of the State. Southern Finances.—The New York Sun says: Some idea of the present financial condition of the South may be obtained from the quoted value of the notes issued by the principal banks in the Southern States. A few only are quoted at par, while the greater number range between fifteen and eighty cents on the dollar. Some are quoted as low as three cents, and several stand at five cents. Nearly all these banks were formerly in good standing, and if business were prosperous, they would soon regain their looting ; but the extreme poverty ot the South shows itself here us everywhere else, and under the most favorable eir cumstanees, it will probably be many years before even a small pnrt of the old-time wealth can be accumulated. There is some truth and much error in the above paragraph. The present trifling value ol the notes of jnany of our banks results from the amount of war securities held by them, many of which were rendered valueless by the exactions of Congress, and not by the mere failure of the Confederacy, or the prostration of business; and however prosperous the South might be, they would never resume business again. Still the financial coudition of the South is perhaps quite as bad as the Sun de scribes, and it Is not likely that any great portion of its old-time prosperity will be restored under the Congressional dead weights which now clog our indus try and paralyze the little capital that is left to us. Congressional Scurility. The want of manliness and dignity displayed in the debates in Congress is as conspic uous, when compared with former days, as the want of statesmanship, is below the standard when Clay, Calhoun and Webster measured blades in the Sena torial arena. There is a growing absence of personal responsibility for language spoken in debate. Mem bers call each other liars, cowards, and traitors, as flippantly as fishmongers hurl epithets from stall to stall. The effect of this scurrility is not alone felt in the popular sentiment of this country —it is observed by all tbe civilized na tions of tbe eartb, and is fast impairing the respect in which the American char acter and free institutions ure held abroad. We not only send notorious gamblers aud prize fighters to Congress, but we actuully render the halls of the House utid Senate little bet ter than boar gardens of prize rings. Thinking men will ask themselve| how long any government can stand such prostitution of the freedom of speech nnd action. CHUKOH RECORD FOR TO-DAY. Aw«r H. M. Cftuucit—Her. Caleb W. Key, Pastor.

River News.—The Swan arrived late on Friday evening, qnfl left on yester day. Sheridan’s Order.—The petty mal ice displayed by some of the military satraps who chance to hold position in the South is exciting the disgust even of their Northern friends. The New York Sun, alluding to Sheridan’s late order refusing to allow the citizens of Galves ton to “give a civil escort, from the steamer to the cars, to the remains of General Johnston,” says “Gen. Sheri dan’s course is not calculated to hasten the era of fraternity and concord be tween the North and South, and we tail to see how it can receive the endorse ment of sober, thoughtful, and consid erate men.” The Sun adds : If the proposal had been to give military houors to the remains of- Gen. Johnston, the case wouid he different. If Confederate uniforms, flags, or any other appurtenances of the rebellion were to have been displayed on the oc casion, then the action of Gen. Sheridan might be justified. But so far as it appeal's from the correspondence, there was to be nothing more than a civil escort a short distance through the city. Does Gen. Sheridan or anybody else propose to take from the Southern peo pie the affection which they feel for men who fought and died by their side during the late war? If the South had conquered the North, would not we cherish the memory of out 1 heroes quite as much as we now do? Correspondence. Augusta, Nov. 12, 1860. To lliylit Rev.

The lecturer, from personal obser vation, was enabled to describe minute ly the wonderful work to which his lec ture was devoted, and happily did Tie attach unusual interest to his subject. The thanks of this entire community are Jue Bishop Lynch for the prompt manner ill which he responded to the call made upon him to aid in the grand cause of charity. The receipts ou the occasion of his lecture will relieve much suffering, and the good man will hear to his home the well-wishes of hundreds who knew him not before. fin ficlegrapl).

AUGUtiTA, Ga., Saturday Noon, > February *, IbOL \ It should be borne in wind that our quo tations represent wholesale prices- fjmaU bills , to Planters and others, are filled at a shade higher r<IUS REMARKS. In reviewing tfie market for tbe pa*t week we •re gratified to be able to report a continuance of the improvement that we noted test week. The week now drawn to • ok»e, has been marked by a brisk and driving buirineM In many branches, end in All lines we may say that a fair trade has been done. Os course the bame amount of business can not be expected to be transacted now, as in the good old ante beltura times, when money was plenty and goods were chenper. In Provisions especially there hnn been a driving busiuess done, and stocks of all kinds have become reduced, so as to be but nominal, and as n natural resalt there are many articles which might be quoted to-day at even higher figures than are laid down in onr table. But these are only fictitious prices caused by the great reduction of stocks, especially of liacon, Grain, and Flour. The recent severe weaiher North and West, freezing up the rivers, and blockading in a great measure tbe ports, is now breaking up, and supplies are com mencing to come in. Ibis will naturally affect the prices of things in general, and we expect next week to b.ive to chronicle a slight reduction in prices. There are but ;ew alterations in the table of prices this week hot in the compilation of tli-se prices current we huve endeavored, so far as prac ticable, to base our quotations ou actual sales; and having carefully reviewed the market, we feel that we cun coufideutiy refer you to the table presented. FINANCIAL. We have no changes to note in the price of Securities, or Bank Notes, as quoted at the close of last week. Money continues exceedingly stringent, nnd the Financial market may be said to be stagnant. In consequence of this paucity of money, securities (except strictly first class) .have been exceedingly slow of sale; in fact, concessions have been made to effect sales, even at less than pur .quoted rates. The advance in Gold in .%ew York has tended to sustain the prices, And the market closed yesterday with the following as the prevailing rates paid by brokers for Gold and Si'ver: Gold, buying 1 35 Gold, selling 1 UKal 37 Silver, buying 1 28 Silver, selling 1 32^ Exchange is quite scarce, and can not easily l>e bought, either by banks or brokers, at even % percent discount. The banks still check at par; but no time bills whatever are offering. L* RO VISIONS. BACON first of all claims our attention. There has been no receipts of new meat yet, and the for mer stock of old on hand has been well drained, and is now Completely exhausted. There is a limited supply of white or unsmoked meat, and this is all that can be hud. We, therefore, leave our former quotations of regular Bacon unaltered, merely observing that these prices are entirely nominal, aud not based on any sales., We quote unsmoked as follows: Shoulders, 13c. per pound; Clear Ribbed, 15c.; Clear Sides, 15^c. FLOUR has also been materially affected by the freeze. The stocks on band contiuue very light, aud prices are the same as last quotations. In conse quence of Northern Hour being found to be so poor in grade, all attention has been turned to Western and Baltimore grades, which we quote as per table. City Mills Flour remdin unaltered. The demand is excellent. SUGAR.—The supply of this article is about equal to the demand. Prices remain stiff at former quotations, but evince a decided upward tendency', LARD.—The stock is quite limited, and the market is firm at an advance on prior quotations. We quote: Prime Leaf (bbls ,14^al5c.per pound; Prime Leaf (half bbls), Pressed, (ttl-lc. GRAIN. CORN.—We have but little change to chronicle in regurd to this article. New Corn is now in the market, and sufficiently dry for consumption. Prices are almost nominal. Prime Maryland White, $1 60; Western White, $155; Yellow, $150; New White, $1 50; New Teunessee Mixed, $1 50<Si 155. The stock is light, and receipts do notcover the constant demand, which is good and increasing. The heavy freights demanded by the railroads on Corn have deterred a farther supply coming in, most of the Corn now in market is New. HAY.—There has been a still farther diminution of the stocks of this article; and but very little remains in first hands. Holders continue to ask the prices given last week, and are stiff in their figures, and we quote Northern s2East ern $2 60&2 75; and Native, $1 75@2 00, with an upward tendency. SUNDRIES. DRUGS.—The supply is fully adequate to any de mand that may be made. Quite a brisk business was done this week by leading drug houses. 9 DRY GOODS—We note a marked improvement in the tone of the Dry Goods market. There has been more done in this line this week than last. SALT.—The demand for the season has about reached its end, and but few sales are now made, except for actual home consumption. Tlie stock is small, and prices easy, at $2 75@3 00. MOLASSES —There have been a few arrivals In Charleston from New Orleans, but very little from Cuba has yet been received. There is a great paucity of this article, and it is in excellent request. 7be quotations given in our table are stiff, and looking up. FERTILIZERS.—There have been frequent in quiries, without heavy sales. Our City dealers in manures are prepared to do a heavy business this year On our list will be found a number of valuable Guanos and Phosphates, to which we invite the attention of those interested. DRIED FRUIT.—The stock is ample and demand slim. We quote apples 6a7c. per lb. BAGGING ANT) ROPE. —The season having run out, both these articles are dull with a declining tendency. Quotations are almost nominal; ami we renew figures of last week. DOMESTICS. — I'ho.e is an excellent demand for Augusta Factory, and % goods especially are sold as quickly as they cun be manufactured. Prices are stiff as given iu the table. FlSH.—Prices are nominal, and there is but little sale for this article’ ONIONS AND POTATOES, —These goods are slow sale; there is a very limited supply on the market. LEATHER.—Unchanged and quiet. YARNS.--Steady and firm- TOBACCO.—This has been quite an active week with wholesale dealers in tobacco; and sales are more than equal to the receipts. The demand is principally for the lower and medium grades. WHISKEY—DuII ind drooping.'. Northern mer chants offer it at $1 70 per gallon in New York. Large quantifies of Whiskey have been shipped back to New York by holders in the city, for want of purchasers.
