E. H. PUGIIE, Proprietor,
190 Broad and 153 Ellis street.
Rivkr News. —The Baudy Moore
left for Savannah. No arrivals. River
about 7 feet.
Recorder's Court. —ln the Court
yesterday, there were but three eases
disposed of. One 18th section ease was
fined $5 and costs; another 18th sec
tion case $lO and costs ; and one 6th
section case $1 and costs.
Pretty Heavy. —As evidence that
there is ‘life in the old land yet,” we
note the fact that a day or two ago a
gentleman of this City deposited at the
National Bank, a draft on Liverpool for
a sum equivalent to four hundred and
forty thousand dollars in gold.
Yai,estixes. —Nearly everybody got
a valentine, yesterday, we believe.
Blobbs got bis cart load, but hasn't had
time to read them all yet. Os course
he doesn’t get any comic ones. Oh 1
no I Blobbs’ own were all sentimental,
and highly perfumed. Os course, they
were. Can't say the same of some of
the rest about the concern.
Concert Hall. —We respectfully
suggest to the proprietor of Concert
Hall that the benches be raised, as they
formerly were, graduating in height from
the front to the rear so that persons in
the rear could see the performance on
the stage ns well as those in front. At
present they cannot.
More Light—ln consequence of the
recent frozen condition of the habor of
Baltimore, the stock of Kerosene Oil in
this city has been completely exhausted.
The harbor is now open, and E. S.
Bleakley has just received five barrels,
which he is retailing at the usual low
rates. If you want pure Kerosene oil
buy it at 210 & 311 Broad St. t
Corn- Meal. —Messrs. Nelson &
Mcllwaine, proprietors of the Fails Mills,
Canal Bank, have reduced the price of
meal to $1.50 per bushel. This is the
wholesale price of corn at the depot,
and the liberality which prompts this
firm to supply our citizens with this
staple article without profit, is most
commendable.
Messrs. Blair, Smith & Cos., 298 Broad
street, are the sole Agents for this City.
The Hanlons.— We take pleasure in
informing our readers that, in view of
the many families residing in different
portions of this State, desiring to wit.
ness the inimitable performances of the
Haul ■in Combination, an engagement
has been effected by the managers with
Mr. Johnson, Assistant Superintendent
of the Georgia Railroad, to convey
parties of twenty or more persons from
any point of their route to and from
their homes at one full fare.
The Press Dispatches. —The Savan
nah Republican endorses the criticism
of the Atlanta Intelligencer and Macon
Telegraph, relative to the short comings
ot the Associated Press, since Mr. Graig
left the field. The Republican says
there is not only a sad tailing off iu the
character of the news, but a very great
increase is proposed in the price.
We have not felt disposed to complain
of the Associated Press, for we expected
little of them. We knew it was to their
interest to make tbe provincial press pay
lor the telegraphic news of the New
York papers, who own and control and
are the Associated Press—while they
dole out to the papers of the coun
try a meagre allowance of a few hun
dred words a day. That their reports
stand no comparison with those of the
Craig Association, is too evident to need
demonstration. Craig understands the
news businqgs. The papers above
named used their influence to kill his
Association, and we trust they will bear
the burden they have imposed on them
selves and their brethren of the press,
as complacently as possible.

Church of the Atonement. —We
are pleased to learn that Rev. F. Marion
McAllister has accepted a call from
this congregation, and expects to com
mence his Pastoral labors on the Ist
Sabbath iu March. Rev Mr. McAllister
is a son of the late Hon. Matthew Hall
McAllister, and was born in Savannah.
He went with his father to California,
some 16 years ago, where, we believe he
commenced his Patoral labors. A few
months ago he wrote to the late Bishop
Elliott, informing him of his desire to
return to his native State, and at the
suggestion of that lamented prelate, a
call was tendered him by the Church of
the Atonement, which was accepted.
He is said to possessin an emiuentdegree
the ability and elevated qualities for
which his family are distinguished, and
his acquisition to this community and
Diocese is a source of congratulation to
our citizens, and to the Church with
he is to be connected.
The Hanlan Comrinatiox. —The
interest in the performances of the Han
lon Combination at Concert Hall is un
abated, and the largest and most de
lighted audiences have nightly assembled
to witness them.
The “Three Flying Men of the Air”
is a piece of gymnastics which we be
lieve stands unequalled. It keeps the
spectator in a state of breathless sus
pense, only relieved by the suddeuness
and surprising agility of its execution.
The dogs and monkeys constitute a
very interesting feature of tho enter
tainment ; and are greeted with uproar
ious applause. It is really astonishing
how those animals Cull he trained to
perform the most difficult feats; and yet
they go through various acts and tricks
with a promptness and correctness that
cannot fail to surprise and please.
Os tl e performers we need only repeat
what we have heretofore said of them,
that they are all perfect in their several
parts, and altogether constitute an
entertainment at once wonderful and
pleasing.
A noticeable feature is the prompt
ness and regularity with which the per
formances are conducted, each act fol
lowing in its order without delay or
confusion.
Cleveland’s Life of Alexander
H. Stephens.—We are pleased to learn
that Maj. Isham Thompson of this city
lms received the appointment of sub.
agent for the sale of this work in Rich
mond County. He will wait upon our
citizens and receive their names and
subscriptions to the book. The Major
is too well known to need any recom
mendation from us, and we deem it only
necessary to mention the fact, to secure
him a favorable reception and the book
a favorable patronage at the hands of
our citizens. The volume alluded to, is
one of no little interest and should find
a place in every library, and in every
parlor. It is the life of one of the most
eminent Statesmen of the country, and
as a part of the history of the country is
an important and valuable addition to
it3 literature. It is written by Captain
Henry Cleveland—formerly an editor of
this journal—and its style is easy and
pleasing. Accompanying the biogra
phy, are the speeches, essays, and polit
ical letters of the distinguished States
man, altogether, forming, as we have
already said, an important and valuable
work.
Persons passing through the city, who
desire to obtain copies, can obtain them
by calling oa Major Thompson, or
leaving their orders with J. B. & J. W.
Walker, No. 15, Mclntosh street. It is
published in three styles of binding,
law, library, and half calf, at different
prices, while the page is white and sub
stantial, and the printing neat and
clear,
J. N. Bashlor, formerly a merchant in
Savannah, died in Bryan county, last
Monday.
Obseqoiea of Mr*. Effle Branch.
Avery Urge concourse of our citizen*
attended the obsequies of this lovely
young lady, from Bt. Paul's Church on
yastarday. It was a serene morning,
and thesubdued tread of the great throng
goiog to mingle tbeir sympathy and
tears with the bereaved families, strick
en so heavily by the dispensation of
Providence, afforded touching and beau
tiful evidence of the universal admira
tion and affection entertained for one
who was so suddenly called to exchange
her bridal robes for the vestments of
immortality.
Every seat in the Church was filled,
and muny stood in the aisles and vesti
bule, so hearty aud general was the
tribute of reaped to the deceased.
The following gentleman officiated as
pall-bearers : C. A. Withers, Esq., W.
Stevenson, Esq., J. B. Cumming'Estf,
M. J. O’Bilen, Esq., John Davison,
Esq., Joshua K. Evans, Esq., C. D.
Carr. Esq., J. Moore, Esq.
The Church was appropriately draped
in mourning, aud the burial services
were read iu a most impressive manner,
by Rev. W. H. Clarke.
It required no elaboration to enforce
the lesson conveyed in the extracts read
from the 15th chapter of Ist Corinthians,
beginning, we believe, with the 20th
verse, which form a part of the beautifu;
Episcopal Burial Service. The scene
itaeif—the glowing bride ot yesterday—
the cherished and only child—the em
bodiment of so much that was lovely
and full of promise—snatched so soon
from the scenes of earth, conveyed in an
eloquence more expressive than words,
how like shadows we flit from the mo:-
tal to the immortal; and how like
dreams are the cherished hopes and
brightest promises of life. •
The hymn—l43d, one of the sweetest
in the language—and the concluding
prater, seemed to acquire additional
force, from the considerations referred
to.
The cortege proceeded to the City
Cemetery when at the conclusion ot the
obsequies all that is mortal of the
lamented dead, was consigned to the
grave.
We can in no way better conclude
this brief notice of a most impressive
scene, than to invite the attention of
the reader to the beautiful lines, which
it has evoked from the pen of a fair
poetess ot the city.
An Express Joke. —lt is the custom
here, as in most other cities who have
such institutions as an Express Office,
for merchants to have a card with the
words “Southern Express” in large let
ters which they hang out as a sign for
the Express wagon to call for packages.
A young man from the rural districts,
where the Express has uever penetrated,
and who has just been installed as errand
boy in an up-town grocery store, was
directed a day or two ago to take a
small basket, oontaining some fresh
shad, for a country customer, to the
Express Office. Ou being asked if he
knew where the office was, he replied
—“No, but it it is in town I can find it.”
So the persevering young man started
down the street, intently reading the
signs as he went. At length he observed,
appended to the door of an insurance
office with an illuminated and gorgeous
front, one of the little red cards, “South
ern Express.” He walked in with a sat
isfied air, and met a smiling gentleman
with a pen over his ear, rubbing his
hands in complacent expectancy of a
customer in the insurance line, who
blandly asked him—•
“ Well, my young man, what can I do
for you 7”
“Mr. says be wants you tosend this
box of shad fish by the first train, as
he’s afraid they’ll spite."
“Spile—the d—11" said the excita
ble man ot policies—not at first seeing
the point—“tell I’ll spile him, if
he don’t stop his foolishness. ”
The young man at this stage of the
proceeding began to see that lie was in
the wrong shop. “ I ax pardon Mister,”
said he, “ I thought this was the Ex
press Office,” and serenely picking up
his basket, started out. At this point,
a wag who was in the insurance office,
seeing that there was a chance for a lit
tie fun, told him that this was one Ex
press Office, but the one that did the
fish business was across the street,
where, in front of a dry goods store,
another of the little red Express signals
was hanging out. The unsuspecting
youth started across the way, when
our reporter left him. Whether he found
the right Express Office in time to save
his “shad fish” from spoiling, We cannot
tell.
The Grand Army of the
—The New York Herald of the 9th con
tains full particulars of the organization
and purposes of the organization known
as the Grand Army of the Republic. It
is composed exclusively of veterans who
served in the late war. The formation
of this army made almost as little noise
in the country as the fall of a snow
flake. It was not designed that it
should take a prominent place before
the public till some great necessity for
its services should arise. In addition to
the main purpose of supporting the
Government, its object was of a benevo
lent nature, and by this means it pre
sented special attraction to the soldiers,
till, in a short time, its ranks embraced
over five hundred thousand men.
On Thursday last a general order was
issued, dividing the State of New York
iuto military districts and announcing
the various officers of the association.
It is stated that all the priucipal officers
are Radicals, though Democrats and
Conservatives are admitted to member
ship, and the World was informed by
the Commander of the Manhattan Dis
trict that while the object of the Asso
ciation was of a beuevolent character,
he had no doubt as to which side it
would take if Congress should impeach
the President.
If this expose Is true, it is the most
threatening feature yet revealed in the
Radical Red Republican programme.

The Cotton Supply. .
We make the following extracts, on
this interesting subject, from the Weekly
Circular of Wm. Brice & Cos:
“Though the per centage of the
crop now in, strongly favors 2,000.000
bales, we still incline to the opinion that
the crop will not vary much from
1,800,000 bales; while on this point it
may not be amiss to say that the re
ceipts to this date and what Cotton is
to he counted in the interior depots
show an aggregate thus far of about a
million and a quarter of bales. This
estimate, viz. 1,800 000, seems to be
growing more popular at the Southern
ports, if it be fair to judge from the
course of their markets, as advised by
telegraph during this past week, the
rise in gold producing little or no
effect upon prices. The slight im
provements noticeable in Cotton in this
city on higher gold has been more based
on the general accounts from England
than on any other reasons. The losses
incurred bv Manchester in the manu
facture of Cotton at the ruling rates for
raw material and goods seem to pre
clude the idea of much advance in
Cotton until a similar movement occurs
in general trade. Indeed it is a notice
able fact that every advance this year
in Liverpool has been checked by Man
chester, and the advance in prices been
followed by a decrease in consumption.
The recognition of this fact, the short
ness of provisions in England, and the
uneasy condition of the masses of the
people in that country, are in reality the
causes which have tended to dispirit
shippers and deter speculation. Our
domestic consumers remain out of
market, and trade in goods show but
little improvement, less tjjan was an
ticipated by this season.
Cotton Statement. —The Financial
Chronicle of the 9th says :
The receipts of Cotton at all the ports
last week show a still further increase,
amounting to 82,087 bales (against 77,-
941 bales the week before, and 70,323
bales three weeks since), making the
total receipts since September 1, this
year, 1,116,371 baits, against 1,174,241
bales for the same period in 1865-6.
The exports from all the ports last week
were also large, amounting to 54,012
bales (against 41,469 bales), of which
47.439 bales were to Liverpool, 1,657
bales were to Glasgow, 2,321 bales were
to Havre, 1,535 bales were to Barcelona,
and 1,060 bales were to Hamburg. The
total exports since Sept. Ist, were
516,654 bales, and the stock on hand
603,196 bales—that at New York being
“estimated” at 150,000 bales.
The Chronicle says : The continued
large receipts of cotton at the ports
would seem to settle the question of
total receipts against those who antici
pated only 14 million bales. Our table,
given in our cotton report to-day, shows
that up to this time they have reached
about 1,119,000 bales, leaving only 383
thousand-bales to be sent forward, un
less the yield is to exceed this estimate.
At the inland towns, also, there are
already stocks not included in the above,
amounting to 100,000 bales, and as yet,
we see little sign of exhaustion iu any
direction, except it may be at Mob le.
From Virginia, South Carolina and
Ga., and from some of the Southwestern
States, (Arkansas, Tennessee and Ken
tucky,) the crop is, as we have frequently
said it would prove to be, in excess of
last year, and we think those who have
insisted upon very limited receipts have
not properly estimated some of these
sources of supply. For instance, from
Virginia the shipments now amount to
about 65,500 bales against 39,000 last
year, and the total receipts at the East
and at New Orleans from the South
western States named, now reach about
120 thousand bales, against about 100
thousand for the same period last year,
with a stock at Memphis of 40 thousand
bales, against about 18 thousand bales
in 1866. Charleston and Savannah
have also sent forward, in 1866-7, 223
thousand bales, against 172 thousand
bales in 1865-6. These figures show
very clearly where onr present supply is
coming from.
—A picture in a late number of Punch
represents a fashionable and affectionate
couple, the husband searching vigorously
in his waistcoat pockets. The young
wife inquires,. ‘‘Have you lost your
watch, love?” and he replies, “No, dar
ling, ’twas anew bonuet 1 had lur you
somewhere.”
—The London Times of January 22
says that twenty thousand dock laborers
in England have not earned a shilling
for two months, and adds : “A gentle
man residing in the West India road
states that he had visited many of the
working people at their houses in that
neighborhood, and that the distress
among the mechanics and laborers is
appalling.

Washington, Feb. 14—P. M.
A meeting was held last night of the
Conservative Republican friends of the
President, and prominent Southerners
in the city, at Willard’s. It was merely
colloquial. Nothing was determined
on, though a free exchange of opinion
seemed to dispel the gloom somewhat.
Other meetings will follow. The anxiety
regarding the immediate passage by the
Senate of either bill is abating; though
the excitement and apprehension are
still great.
The President submitted the papers
in the controversy between the New
York and Louisiana Tehauntepec Tran,

FROM CHARLESTON.
Charleston, Feb. 14—P. M."
At the anniversary banquet of the
Chamber of Commerce, Governor On
said our political relations are grave.
He had been recently in a position to
consult the controllers of the Govern"
meut, and in all frankness it was diffi
cult to tell the future of our political
situation. Several Southern gentlemen
hoped to secure the support of Conser,
vative Radicals. Hence the new suffrag e
scheme. His judgment is if North
Carolina and Arkansas adopt the pro.
gramme, and others adopt it, or show a
disposition to do so, it will produce the
best results, and save the South from
many proposed Radical measures.
