Tbe New York Tribune, of the 3d inst., concludes an Editorial as follows . “We close with a repetition of our sniious hope that the Reconstruction policy of Congress, not in a single aspect only, but in every aspect, will now be made so clear and complete that ingenuity can no longer pervert nor hostility successfully defame it. Let us advance ns rapidly as may be through Order and Loyalty to Universal Enfran chisement and enduring Peace.” Change of Schedule. Our readers will observe that there is a material change of schedule on the various roads leading from Augusta. As the change on the South Carolina Road went into operation on Fri day last, and the public not having been notified of said change, we have carefully compiled from the official schedule the advertisement to be found in the paper this day. Atlanta to Aharleaton. Our Charleston correspondent’s first letter is unaccountably missing. He siys, in an addenda (received by Ex press last night): “The business and travelling public will be pleased to learn that two trains a day will soon run between Charleston and Augusta, and that Cot. Cole has been here this week making arrangements to take freight through from Atlanta without breaking bulk. Col. Cole sent on a special train, ou Wednesday, a large consignment of wheat—the first through train of the season. The trains left Atlanta at 6 o'clock p. m. Tuesday (11 B. Hudson, engineer, and the venerable Bill Fuller, conductor), aud arrived in Charleston in time to ship the grain on the E. B. Souder ou Wednesday at 2 o’clock, being only twenty two hours trom the Gate City the Charleston wharf—a distance of 310 miles. This new train, it is to be hoped, is an omen of the good time a coming; and it is, we learn, the consummation of arrange ments long contemplated by Col. Cole, of the Georgia Railroad, and the result of his persevering efforts.” Official Proceeding* of Council. REGULAR MEETING, ) Friday, July 6th, 18f7. I 3} o’clock P. M. j The City Coanoit mot.

In the judgmeot of >our Committee, no plan oould ba adopted, which would *o effectually subserve that object, as the one proposed by the Feculty, and at tho same time involve so little expense. The Committee desire to express ths high appreciation they entertain of ths Medical Faculty, as gentlemen and physicians, and tbe entire confidence they repose in them far the faithful performance of the duties connected with tbe office.

As will be seen by the Report of the Engineer, to-day made, the largor portion of the con tract price has already been paid to Mr Malone, the contractor. Ha reports the pipe ready for delivery, in accordance with the terms of tho contract. An agreement was alio mado by the last Council with Mr, Robbe, for laying the pipe. As the work of digging the trenches can be done by the working gang of the City, the expense will bo trilling. Good faith requires that wo should carry out these obligations, to say nothing of tbo necessity which exists in that portion of the City tor protection against fire. The Cnief of Police has been instructed to prevent the violation of the Ordinance against bathing in the Canal, and it is hoped that tho measures taken will abate the nuisance. In reference to that portion of tbo Engi neer’s report which calls attention to the fact that tbe lot on which the Elevated Reservoir is erected has been cut down for filling the streets, your Committee recom mend that no more earth be allowed to be taken away until it can be ascertained what the proper grade of the lot should be.

One fourth of the cases were fatnl, hot mostly confined to unaccliinated people. Papers have been filed iu the Attorney General’s office looking to the removal o( F. J. Herron, U. S. Marshal for Louisiana. The prosecution in the Surratt case closed to day. Bradley made the open ing speech for the defense. He reviewed the testimony of the prosecution to show the prisoner’s presence here on April 14th, and said he could prove that most Os the witnesses were either infa mous liars or mistaken. He would prove that Surratt was not within 400 miles of Washington on the day ol the assassi nation; and farther, that it was neither Booth, Surratt, or Alzeroot, who were in front of the theatre that night, but that he would produce the three men referred to on the stand, and would pro dace fhc man who looked into Lincoln’s cmriage, and the man who called the time, as well as the individual described as the villainous looking man. In closing his remarks, Bradley said he would also produce the original agree ment between the assassins, with their genuine signatures attached, and that neither of the names of Mrs.' Surratt or John Surratt would appear upon that paper. An actor, named Mathews was before the Judiciary Committee Monday, and testified in effect as follows : ‘'On the day of the assassination Matthews met Booth on horseback, who gave him a letter, requesting him to leave it at an intelligence office in the morning if Booth had left town. Mat thews received the letter given him hurriedly and in a secret manner. That night, during the excitement ot the assassination, Matthews remembered the letter. He read it, and it contained a statement signed by Booth, Payne Algeroot, and Harold. The statement was that they had tried to abduct the President and had failed. They resolved they would sacrifice their four lives in the defense of their country, and re move by deuth the President, whom they considered the cause of their country's trouble. Having read the letter, Matthews became terrified, and burned it. Matthews will testify in behalf of Surratt. Internal Revenue receipts to day $788,000.

AUGUSTA, GA., Saturday Noon, ) July 6, 1867. \ w&r It should be borne in miiul that our quo tations represent wholesale prices. Small bills , to Planters and others, arc filled at a shade higher rates. REMARKS. In presenting our regular weekly review of the state of the market in this city, we are pleased to be able to note a continued briskness in many branches of trade, such as Corn, Bacon, Flour, and Wheat It is true, that there is almost nothing doing in some other lines, but take the market as a whole, we think that the week now under con sideration has been an active one for the time of year. There is a temporary scarcity of Corn in the city, and prices have considerably improved under it. Wheat has now fairly come into market, and commands higher figures; the City Mills are in full operation, and contemplate being able soon to make shipments abroad. The reports of the crops from every section con tinue to be of the most encouraging character; that it is anticipated will insure an active Full bu siness, and should no adverse condition of the seasons supervene we have no doubt that these expectations will be realized. An abunduncc of food products is a sure mark of commercial pros perity ; and ulthough we dragged through several months of extreme depression in trade, which tends to deteriorate from the exhilarating effects antici pated, still the general result must appear iu the commerce of the country. CTCTAiftCIAJLi. The demand for Specie lias been very good during the whole of the week, and brokers’ rates at the close of yesterday’s sales stood as follows; Gold, buying 1 37 Gold, selling 1 3# Silver, buying 1 28 Silver, selling 1 33 The Banks check on the North at par, and buy at discount. Thirty and sixty day bills are not negotiable, except first class paper, and even on this it is difficult to be obtained, except In very limited amounts. Stocks and Bonds have been very quiet through - out the week, and we learn of no transactions of importance. Money continues stringent, and very difficult to obtain; on outside paper, it quickly commands 2>£a3 per cent, a month. Our banking facilities are far from being adequate to supply practical relief to the daily wants of trade. PROVISIONS. BACON. —The stocks are fair, with a good de mand- Trices are firm, and looking up. Under the influence of the advance in other markets (more than from a scarcity of, or demand for meats) we note an advance of He in shoulders and c. r. sides, quoting Western shoulders ll)£al2c.; and clear ribbed 14’ 2 a15c.; other figures as before. There is now offering in the market a j-mall lot of very choice Tennessee shoulders, which bring from 12a 12^c. There is still a considerable quantity of unsound meat on the market, on which holders are anxious to realize. FLOUR.—OId Flour is dull, neglected, and droop ing; the stocks are not heavy, but we quote another decline of from slas2 per bbl. Prices are very much depressed; in fact we may say nominal. The new Flour ground by the City Mills has been in active request. The stocks of new are much improved, although not heavy. The principal trade this week has been of a local character, but it is anticipated that shipments will be made to other marts next week. BUTTER.—There is but a light supply of Goshen in the market, which is quite dull, at 30a35c. The most of the Butter sold is couutry, which readily bring* 25a30c. EGGS. —fresh Eggs, from the vicinity, are in request at 23 cents. The weather is trying on shipments from Tennessee,and they are only taken when others cannot be had. SALT.—There is some little inquiry for Salt, and prices .are stiff, at $2 40 to $2 50. Large lots from the wharf are sold at 10c less. RlCE.—Stocks are light, with a fair demand at 12)£al3c. MEAL.—City-ground bolted Meal i s j n good demand at $1 55 to $1 60. Country meal, unbolted $1 45(a) $1 50. GRAIN. CORN.—There has been for three or four days a great dearth of Corn in this market, and no receipts until to day. Influenced by this temporary scarcity, and the fact that there whs but little if any Coin, either in Savannah or Nashville, prices have im proved about 10c. Whether t lese prices will be maintained during the coining week or not, re mains to be seen, but we quote the market for to day at $1 50a51.55 for yellow, and $1 55 for white. OATS—Arrive slowly, and are quickly bought up at $1 10 per bushel for shelled, and $1 30@$1 50 in the sheaf. Many are buying Oats In the sheaf iu preference to Ilay. WHEAT—Is now coming in more freely, but prices are very stiff, and somewhat improved on former quotations. We quote Wheat at $2 26a2 55, according to grade. A strictly prime article of White would even command $2 60. The min* can now obtain a sufficient quantity to keep running; and more than supply the demand for new flour. PEAS—Are exceedingly scarce, and There is Quite au active demand for them. We quote them at $2 75 in lots, and stiff. SUNDRIES. HAY. —The demand is very limited, and prices are easy. We quote Northern, $2 50; Eastern, $2 60. Tennesse has declined, and we quote it dull at $2 25. Oats has caused this diminution iu the inquiry for Hay. SUGAR.—There is but a light stock in market and nnder the recent advances In New York prices are y x e better on refined sugars, and steady. There is a good inquiry. LIQUORS.—Stocks are large, without any gene ral demand, and prices are easy. The usual quo tations for Rectified are 225 to 2 50, but some jots can be had at 2 00 to 2 15. LEATHER—Is dull, stocks are not heavy. A fine quality of Knoxville tanning is in the market, and couimuuds a shade higher prices than those quoted. HIDES—Are much sought after, add we note an advance, quoting green 7?8c; dry, salted, or flint 15*10c. DOMESTICS.—AU staple cotton goods are dull— the supply being In excess of the demand, and prices have declined. We quote Augusta goods, 13Xc; 4-4, 16c; drills, 17c; Montour, lower; Osnaburgs, Boz, 22c; Stripes, 25. TOBACCO.—There, is a good inquiry for new Tobacco, and stocks are very light, especially of fine. All tirades of sound bright are in fair demand, and command good prices. Smoking Tobacco ia dull, the trade being c- nined chiefly to a few well established brands, for the quotations of which we refer to our table. GRAIN BAGS.—Two bushel Osnaburg Sacks3oc: do. Burlaps 20c. MOLASSES-—There is an excellent request for this article, and light stocks. FEATHERS —There is none In the market, and a fair inquiry for them. Prices take a wide range, according to quality. Best live geese would bring 60c. per Ib.; mixed 35a45c. COTTON. We left the market the dose of our last review quiet, and improved in feeling, quoting middlings at 23c. On Monday, the market continued quiet, without visible change, and every thing remained in statu quo until tbe 3d inst., when tbe receipt of unfavorable advices from Liverpool and New York, caused a temporary suspension of transactions, but without affecting prices except to make them weaker. Thursday, the 4th, being observed as a holiday, very few if any sales transpired. On Fri day the market was quiet; on account of fmf&vur able advices, a mutual stand-off between bnyers and sellers ensued the holders asking 23c for Middlings, and buyers not willing to give more than 22 The sales of the week have been small, amount ing to 370 bales; and the receipts for the same period are in all 33 bales. The market closes quiet, and too unsettled to admit of quotations. RECAPITULATION.
