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. Pehonet’s Third Sal*.—Vr. De boaej’i third stock sale wa* well at tended on yeaterday.

Nr* Bakery.—Attention is directed to the advertisement of tho new bakery recently opened near the Lower Market by Mr. Hahn. It is a neat and tasteful establishment; where anything iu the bakery and confectionery line can be bad ou reasonable terms. County Court.—ln this Court, yes terday. Judge McLuws presiding, the following parties were sentenced : Frank Miller (col'd), larceny from house. Chain gang six months and costs. Atm Smilie (col’d), larceny from boose. Fine S6O and costs, or chain gang four months. John Goodwin (col'd), larceny from house. Chain gang two months and $75 fine, or five months on chain gang it) lieu of fine. Isaac Hatcher (col’d), simple larceny. Fine $25 and costs, or chaiu gang two months. Frank O'Keefe (col’d), larceny from house. Chain gang three months, $25 fine or two months on chain gang in lieu of fine 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. LIBT 07 REGISTERED YOTERB M aid I.

J. C. GREEN, Registry Clerk. Augusta, Ga., February 14, 1867. 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. Dji €clegrapt). TO THE ASSOCIATED PR ESS. FROM WA£HISGTON/~ Congressional. SENATE. Washington, Feb. 14—P. M. Ross of Arkansas was seated (7) A bill was introduced authorizing the Post master-General to contract for a monthly mail between San Francisco and Hono lula. No bids to be entertained, over a hundred thousand dollars. The League Island discussion re sumed. A motion to take up the Louisiana bill failed, 17 to 25. The League Island bill passed, 27 to 17, and goes to the President. • A committee of conference was ap pointed on the tenure of office bill. The Louisiana bill was read the second time. Trumbull spoke of several amend ments. - Wade aaid if amended too far they would lose it. Ho gave notice that he would give the Senate uo rest when the bill came up, till it was passed. Sumner was in favor of both bills— that of Stevens and the Louisiana bill. He had amendments to offer—one abol ishing all decrees ot Courts since the Secession Ordinance was passed. Fes senden was in favor of both bills, and Blaine’s amendment, which admits States on the adoption of the Constitu tional Amendment and impartial suff rage. Mr. Wade consented to postpone, and the amendments were ordered to be printed. Mr, Stevens’ bill was taken up, read the second time, and ordered printed. The bill retiring compound interest notes was passed, and goes to the House. After a recess the House refused to concur in the Senate's amendment to the tenure of office bill, including Cabinet officers. A Committee of Conference was appointed. A bill to pay the loyal State war debt—provides for the issue of a hun dred and fifteen million of five per cent, bonds. Delano said it was not a time for such action when the credit of the Govern ment wa3 worse than that of any State in the Union. Referred to Ways aiid Means Committee. The House went into Committee on the revenue bill. miscellaneous. Washington, Feb. 14. The night session of the Senate was engaged on the District Bill. The House was on the Ways and Means Bill, regarding Internal Revenue. 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, sit Companies, the opinions of Caleb Cushing, Reverdy Johnson, and others included. The result is not indicated. FROM NEW ORLEANS. New Orleans, Feb. 14. The announcement of the passage of Elliott’s Bill, by the House, was calmly received and barely commented upon. FROM NEW YORK. New York, Feb. 14. Mr. Bigelow and family arrived on the City of Baltimore. 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.
