Insurance. —The Board of Under
writers of this City have recently re
vised the rates ol insurance, by which
the Agencies here will hereafter be
governed. We learn that they are
not in excess of former rates. There
never has been a time in the history of
our people when the question of insu
rance—of property as well as of life—
was one of so great importance as at
present. While we have so little left
us, and so few resources for increasing
our possessions, we ought to avail our
selves of any reliable and legitimate
means of preserving to ourselves or our
families whatever we may have of a
destructible character.
Thk Meeting Friday Night.—We
are pleased to learn that a meeting of
“ prominent citizens’’ on Friday night,
to consult in reference to the selection of
a candidate for Mayor on whom nil could
harmonize, did not assume the authority
to ma<e a nomination, or limit the
choice to the action of a caucus com
mittee, as was contemplated. We were
not among those deemed worthy to
participate iu the august assemblage,
but we learn that His Honor, Mayor
Foster, was called to the Chair, and
that no Secretary was deemed neces
sary. After a somewhat free conference,
it was decided that a Committee of five
trom each ward be appointed to recom
mend a suitable candidate to a public
meeting to be held at the City Hall on
Saturday night, 23d iust. This action,
it seems to us, must be acceptable to
all parties. It refers the matter to the
people, and no candidate can possibly
O' jcctto such an expression of the pop
ular choice, or will dare to disregard it.
A Voteii. — We find iu the “Con
servative Organ,” up the street, a com
munication in reference to the Munici
pal Election, which meets our views so
completely, that we copy it, and give it
our cordial endorsement. It is on the
line heretofore indicated by this paper,
and adopted by the meeting on Friday
night. It opens a way whereby har
mony may be evoked from the various
conflicting interests and preferences.
We do not agree with our neighbor that
it is “too big a thing but regard it,
in all respects, the fairest and best
mode of settling the municipal muddle.
That it is. practicable to ratify the
choice of the Ward Committee by hallo ,
is evident from the fact that it has been
done heretofore, and that within the
last few years. Any other course—any
attempt of a few persons to meet in
caucus and thrust aside rival candi
dates, or attempt to control or thwart
the will of the people, will only end in
confusion, and confusion now is fatal.
We learn upon enquiry of Mr. C. W.
Harris, the General Agent of tjie sElna
Life Insurance Company, of Hartford,
Conn., that the rumor prevailing on the
street that his Company had ordered
him to suspend issuing new policies or
receiving reuewals, is without founda
tion. He says the ./Etna will continue
the even tenor of iu way, and meet all
of Us engagements, without regard' to
Sherman, Stevens, Sumner A Cos., or
anything they may do. The -<Etna
stands upon iu own bottom, and no
matter what our political troubles may
be, will continue to insure the lives
of all who desire it both North and South.

Lecture by Prot. Rains.— The 6rst
lecture by Prof. Rains, before the pupils
ot the Misses Sedgwick, was delivered
at the Medical College on Fridays. The
subject selected, was, The Uuity of
Forces.
The lecturer explained the law of
forces governing the elements, as exhib
ited in inertia, or the lateral state of
force, aud in the vibrations of sound,
the effects of heat, light, wind, electricity,
and all that can he reduced to attraction
or repulsion. His lecture was illustra.
ted with interesting experiments, and
conveyed in an intelligible and pleasing
form, a lucid idea of the fundamental
principles of natural science. We are
indebted to one of the pupils, for an in
teresting abstract of the lending topics
embraced in the lecture, which waut of
space alone, prevents us from publish
ing. The lectures will be continued
every Friday, aud the next will be upon
Electricity.
The Canal. —We cheerfully publish
a communication from Wm. Phillips, in
reference to the Canal water rates. It
is true when reduced to the bushels
which a mill can grind in a year, the
S6OO charged a flour mill, amounts to
very little 5 and if reduced to quarts, or
to kernels, it would be still less I But
when it is remembered that is has to he
paid whether the mill is employed or
not, aud often paid when business is
not remunerative, it is a material item
of expense. We do not say that the
charge is exorbitant; or that, the pol
icy of making a charge was unwise at
the time it was adopted. But in our
present situation it is of the highest im
portance to increase our manufacturing
interests. Asa question of policy . we
intimated that it would be wise for Au
gusta to follow the example of her Maine
namesake, and if she cannot, like her,
offer manufacturers a large bonus, at
least remit the water tax for a long
term of years, as an encouragement to
investments of that character. The
lucid favor of our esteemed Iriend has
not, we confess, changed our mind.
The Seven's. —The sevens are pro
verbially hard years, and from present
indications the present is to be no ex
ception to the rule. In ’37, '47, and '57,
the country was shaken by severe finan
cial revulsions; and everything indi
cates that '67 will exceed any of the
“seven sisters” in the magnitude of its
calamities.
A New Womak’s Paper.—lt is an
nounced concerning the new woman’s
paper which is to be established in New
York, that two female phonographic
reporters from London have been im
ported to do the city affairs. The edi
torial staff consists of Miss Ann S. Ste
phens, Mrs. Calhoun, Mrs. Croly, Mrs-
Parton, and Mrs. Terhune. Miss Olive
Logan will be the dramatic critic and
Anna Dickinson foreign correspondent.
Municipal Election.
Messrs. Editors: 1 notice in your
paper of this morning, that it has been
suggested that a mass meeting of the
citizens be called to select a candidate
for Mayor at the approaching Munici
pal Election. The idea is a good one,
as anything like division is to be de
plored. It is indispensable that har
mony should be restored, or there is
danger that incompetency may govern
us in future. I approve the suggestion,
and suggest that the meeting be called
for Saturday, the 23d instant, at 8
o’clock P. M., at the City Hall, and
that, iu order to allow every voter a full
opportunity of expressing his opinions,
the vote be taken by ballot. The time
wiil be long enough to enable every
voter to make up his mind as to the
person most suitable tor the position.
This course is the ouly one proper for
the people to pursue, and it is the only
one by which they can do justice to
themselves. We nave been too long
ridden by caucuses and log rollers. No
candidate or person willihg to become
suph, can complain at the free choice of
the people ; if he should, let him stand
aside for a better man.
I also suggest that Ward meetings be
held to select candidates for Council. In
tbis way paly can tbe people of each
Ward secure for their Ward suoh a
representation as would be agreeable
to them and protect their interests, "r
I cannot imagine that there can be
any valid objections to the mode herein
suggested. All 1 favor is that the peo
ple should be afforded an opportunity of
expressing their preference in (he fair
est possible manner. It is time the
whole matter was settled, and the course
determined on, without reference to the
selfish views of those who are attempt
ing to thrust their especial favorites
upon us. A Voter.

“In the City of Augusta, Oa„ [the
policy has been to charge manufacturing
establishments largely for land rents
aud water rights, and we understand it
is under consideration to iucrease the
rates heretofore exacted We commend
the example of her:Maine namesake, to
the City Fathers of’our City, as worthy
of consideration. Few places in the
country have a finer water power than
this City, end if used to its full uapitCit'i

business prospects of the p act."—Daily
/Yes*.
Mr. Editor : The enclosed was cut
from your paper of this morniug, aud,
as your remarks editorial seem to be
bashd upon misrepresentation to you,
I beg leave to submit the following
statement ot facts, which, I trust, will,
at least, correct public opinion on the
subject: j j
About twenty five years since, the
Canal enterprise was started by Colonel
Henry H. Cumming and Hon. John P.
King, who paid for thd first reconnois
ance and survey made under my direc
tion. The report being considered favor
able, it was submitted by them to e
. public meeting of the then oitixeos of
Augusta, and so far approved by them
that they consented to the payment of
a special tax on real estate to pay for
the construction of the proposed Oanal".
Oa the 15th of March, 1845, the City
Council passed an “ Ordinance, to pro
vide for the construction of a Canal,
for manufacturing purposes, and for
the better securing an abundant supply
of Water to the City."
The first Board of Commissioners
elected under this Ordinance were made
up ns follows:
Col. Henry H. Cumming, Chairman ;
John Bones, Wm. M. D’Antignar,
John H. Mann, John P. King, Charlie
J. Jenkins, A. J. Miller, Johu Phinizy,
James Harper.
At the time, these men were the rep{
resentative men ot Augusta, and its
interests were considered perfectly sate
in their hands. They proceeded at onte
to the discharge of their duties, and 1
remember well that in the various in
formal discussions had on the subject of
purchasing grounds for mill sites, etc.,
that it was uniformly considered best to
leave sueh matters entirely to individual
enterprise, that the canal waste be built
at the public expense,andthat the public
should enjoy all advantages, direct, as
well as indirect.
Here you will observe that if our Ca
nal Commissioners had been sharp, as
our triends in other places usually are
on such occasions, they could have
bought up mill sites, vacant grounds,
etc., and made what is usually called a
“ good thing” of the canal enterprise.
Twenty two years ago these Commis
sioners were considered honest men,
and I cannot help feeling proud of my
association with them—now, of course
they are “ old fogies," aud their services
are not appreciated.
Under the spirit of the times which
then prevailed, the Cotton factories did
not pay a cent for their mill sites. They
have for twenty two years paid no City
tax, and for nine years 110 canal water
rent. Ail the other mills except these
have purchased their own sites, and pay
about $lO per borne power per year for
their water power. The three mills ex
cepted, were huitt upon leased sites, and
were, and are, uuisvices caused by the
war. Having escaped minnie balls, they
should be prompt with their “green
backs,” and pay their water rents w t -
out much grumb'ing.
The “ City Fathers” have no mill
sites to rent, but they have about live
hundred horse power of water running
to waste, and I have no doubt would be
glad to let any enterprising individual
or corporation own it at $lO per horse
power per year, for any legitimate man
ufacturing purpose.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
Wm. Phillips.
Note. —To show you the absurdity o!
any complaint us to water rents paid
for caoal water, I submit as follows:
Our contracts are made with parties
who propose to run a mill of four uew
feet stones, each now grinding 20
bushels per hour. Now such a mill,
running 300 days per year, could grind
800 bushels per day of ten hours, ami
make of course, at five bushels of whent
t) one barrel of flonr, 160 barrels of floi r
der day, or 48,000 barrels per ye r
The water rent is S6OO per year. Ni w
if yoor divide S6OO by 48,000, the qio
t ent is 125, and this in Federal curren
cy and plain English is the enormous
sum of one cent and a quarter paid for
water power to grind five bushels of
wheat, or its equivalent, oue barrel of
flour.
Now again —if you consider that
such a mill can be run 24 hours instead
of 10 hours per day, and 360 instead of
365 to the year, you will see at once
that Mr. Enterprise, if he has the means
and industry to do it, would reduce the
expense of water rent per barrel to a
merely nominal item.
Now if you desire to know something
about the expense of Cotton mauufais
tures, you will perhaps be satisfied that
the price is low enough when I assure
you that (if it is ever paid,) it *iH
amount to the enormous sum ot $0,000,-
799.88 per year, which your non cipher
ing readers may internet to mean $7.99
for 10,000 yards. Verbum sat t

The Great Freshet. —The trains
are now running to Knoxville, and with
the exception of the bridge at Straw
berry Plains, there is no interruption in
the road from Atlanta to New York.
It was believed in Atlanta on yesterday,
that trains would be able to ran to Chat
tanooga by Monday.
The damage done to the Nashville
and Chattanooga Road is very great,
and will interrupt travel for several
weeks. Five spans of the bridge at
Bridgeport are gone, with many other
serious disasters.
The Era says that during the flood
at Chattanooga, an infant floated into
the city in a small crib, in which it had
been put to rest —alive and well. Where
the little Moses came from nobody
knew.
Tbe freshet extended throughout Ten
nessee and Kentucky. At Knoxville the
roofs ot the buildings along the river
were submerged, and several mills were
muoh damaged.
At Nashville, and all points along
the river, much damage wns done.
At Louisville, the portion o( the city
along Water street, was severul feet un

Business ba« Ue* extremely dull daring the
entire week, owing id p»«% to the viuettled co*U
tiou of pobtio*! affeirv, and to tba unfavorable
weather, which has prevailed with little intorrup
tion since our lsst report. We find very few
changes in any leading articles.
Com is stiff, with a prospect of a temporary
Advance, and Oats a shade higher. l*ry salted
Meat is lower, but Bacon is without change. Ail
leading articles of Groceries remain the same,
though the condition of the market, and of the
country, is such that prices msy be considered un
settled and quite nominal.
Cotton wus extremely dull and depressed during
the early part of the week, but has reacted, and
for two or three days the market has exhibited a
firm and advancing tone. The receipts at the ports
show a very decided failing off during the present
month, and this, with the improved aspect of
affairs in the manufacturing districts of Great
Britain, may be regarded the chief causes of im
provement in prices. The receipt# now amount to
1,306,£4$ bales; stodka on hand 5«,600 bales.
There has been some inquiry for Dry Goods,
Boots, Shoes, Hardware, etc., by couutry dealers,
and it is believed that they can do better, under
existing circumstances, to replenish here than to
buy heavily in Northern markets. Supplies are
ample here, in every department, and many »f
those who were identified with business here before
tho war, will still welcome their friends from the
interior.
Freights are now down to about the old
by railroad or river, and the boats are making trips
with dispatch and regularity.
FINANCIAL.
There is nothing new or cheering in the aspect
of financial affairs. The banking facilities of the
city are inadequate to move the limited stock of
Cotton, and trade in that staple has been almost
suspended during the week for want of money.
Our lust quotations for Gold were 132 to 135, and
for Silver 127 to 13U. There was an advance early
in the week, which has been maintained, and we
quote as follows;
Gold, buying. .*..... 1 35
Gold, selling 1 36C&1 37
Silver, buying 1 2b
Silver, selling 1 32
The Banks continue to check on the North at par.
Brokers charge X lO l /fi- °ffthirty day bills IJ*
per cent Off ; sixty day bills 2)4c. off. Loans on
outside paper are made at 3 per cent, a month, aud
even higher rates.
PROVISIONS.
BACON.—Stocks arc quite large, and the de
mand is only moderate. We have not changed our
quotations. Dry salted Meat is dull and lower,
viz ; Shoulders lK&llHc.; Clear Kibbcd Sides 13/»
(<jii3Xc.; Clear Sides 14(2* 14XC.
FLOUR.—Stocks are about equal to the demand,
and prices are firm aud unchanged. The city mills
continue to supply the principal demand. For
quotations, see table.
LARD—Is in a fair demand, at 15>«i(gl0c. for
Prime Leaf in barrels; half barrels, lti^lO^c.;
smaller packages are a shade higher.
BUTTER.—The market is well supplied with
Northern and Western brands, and prices arc un
chauged. Couutry Butter is iu only moderate re
quest, at 25@30c.
EGGS.—Receipts have fallen off, and arrivals are
freely taken ut 20c.
G-R.A.IN.
CORN. —The demand for Corn has fallen off, on
account, probably, of the unfavorable weather, but
the market is firm, with an advancing tendency.
Stocks are quite large, but probably not in excess
of the demand as soon as the weather settles. The
interruption of communication with Tennessee has
directed attention to Baltimore for supplies, and
there is little or no margin at present prices. We
quote 1 43 from depot, some holders asking 1 50;
and 1 50(5.1 55 lroin store.
OATS.—There has been a slight improvement in
Oats, and they are in moderate reaueut -t *
POTATOES.—The supply is pretty large, and
prices have declined. We quote 64
variety.
HAY.—The market is almost bare, and prices
are stiff. We have not altered our quotations,
which may be considered nominal.
SUNDRIES.
FERTILIZERS.—The demand for artificial ma
nures continues, and we are pleased to observe tta t
the sales are greatly in excess of former years.
We have added to our list anew article, called
Wilcox, Gibbs & Co.’s Manipulated Guano, which
lias just been put on the market by that firm, and
which is selling freely at 665 per ton.
» LUMBER.—There is a fair demand, and orders
are filled by the neighboring mills at per
thousand, delivered.
TOBACCO. —There is a good demand for Common
and Medium grades, ut the prices quoted elsewhere.
Fine and Fancy brands are in but little request.
Our quotations include taxes.
COTTON.
We left the market dull aud depressed at the
close of our last report, and prices had reached
for Middling. Sales of 75 bales were made
on that day on about that basis—the market being
too irregular to Justify quotations. Receipts 161
bales.
On Monday no new features were presented, the
market continuing dull, and holders being gene
rally out of the market. Sales of 165 bales were
reported, at about %c. below the rates of Satur
day. Receipts 204 bales.
On Tuesday there was a better feeling, w ith but
little change in quotations, and 158 bales were
sold. Receipts 97 bales.
On Wednesday the market was quiet, with no
general disposition to operate, cither ou the part of
buyers or sellers. Sales 173 bales. Receipts 71
bales.
On Thursday the advance In Liverpool, and im
proved aspect of the Manchester market, caused
un advance of fully %c., but the transactions were
limited to 127 bales, at 27J4c. for Middlings. Re
ceipts 153 bales.
On Friday the tone of the market was better,
but the weather was so unfavorable that little was
done. Prices were to better, Middling to
Strict Middling being quoted at 28<gi28)r£c. Sales
97 bales; receipts 58 bales.
