The following letter from 44 A Traveller,” address ed to the editor of the Courier, will be read with in terest, as fornlshlng practical evidence of tbo pro gress of the Brunswick Railroad. We won politely furnishRd with It for simultaneous publication with our cotemporary. Wo shall oertainly take pleasure in recording &U such evidences of good faith on the part of th\ projectors of this enterprise, and also congratulate the people of Brunswick, and those on the entire line of the road, over the advantages and beuedts to be derived therefrom: 2b Me Editor qf Me Savannah Courier, Bn j—It afford* me much gratification to communicate to you, the fact that on Tuesday the first trial of the nemlocomotire waa made over five mile* of the Brunswick Railroad. The citizens and strangers in the city accepted the pub- 11c invitation of Messrs. Collins and Alexander, tho contrac tors, and a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, fur nished with seats on the open ears, made the excursion.— The Road, so far as it is completed, exhibits a fine specimen of the skill and ability of the contractor*. Iron weighing sixty pounds to the yard Is laid upon the cross ties, dis pensing with the use of stringers, equal to a saving of five hundred dollars per mile. Every one who participated felt delighted, and inspired with renewed confidence in the success of this great and important enterprise. On the return of the cars to the de pot, Levi S. D’Lyon, Esq., who was invltod on tho occasion, was particularly requested and urged to address the assem bly, to which request he responded in an appropriate and welt delivered speech, which was well received, and much applauded. On the succeeding day, at 4 o’clock P. M., ihe now and splendid steamer St. Johns, arrived in this port, in beauti ful style, with colors flying, and a flue band of muaio, as cending the river for a short distance. On her arrival at the wharf, the Contractors addressed to Capt. Freeborn, a polite invitation for himself, passengers and crew, tc accompany them on an excursion over so much of-the Roiul as was completed, and to take a glass of wine, The invitation was readily accepted, andwith their fine band of music they reeaired to the depot. The ladles, citizens and strangers in the city, assembled in greater numbers* and at the sound of the whistle, the engine was again in motion. The scene became interesting And its novelty in that section of country, filled every heart with gladness and rejoicing. The ride was an easy and de lightful one. The day was fine, and added much to the pleasure of all who participated. Arrivod at the Flvo Mile Station, Major Edwin H. Bacon, of Savannah, belngpresont' was loudly called for, and requested to address the people. Major Bacon then, without a moment’s notice, promptly responded in an admirable speech, which elicited rounds of applause. Among the many good things said by him, ho remarked that“ humbugs were generally found on paper— that there could be no humbug In laying a track of iron rails, weighing sixty pounds to the yard.” Major Bacon en couraged, by his remarks, the Brunswick poople to press on in their enterprise, which, he said, would not only be felt by Brunswick, by Georgia, but the whole world. After a delay of a few minutes, the beautiful ongtno was roversod, and the party returned to tho city, highly grati fied at their bright and growing prospects. On the arrival of tbo cars at the depot, Colonel Edward Tatnall Sheftall f of Iauren* county, was callod upon for an address. Unex pected as the call was to him, he readily complied, and en tertained his hears in a neat, pertlnont and eloquent speech, •which was wall received. The party then adjourned to tho Oglethorpe House, kept in fine style by Mr. Wood, where tboy were refreshed with an abundance of well iced Cham pagne, until the moment of the boat’s departure arrived. Many toasts were drank, aud the party separated with but ono sentiment—Success to tbo 8t. Johns, the city of Bruns wick and her noblo enterprise. A Tiuyxuxr. Tub William Sbabbook.—This Bteamboat has re cently been thoroughly overhauled in Charleston, fife ted with a new boiler, and re-furnlshed throughout, rendering her in all respects equal to now. She re- Burned her trips on Friday morning between Charles ton and this city, having left the former port at 7 A. M., via Beaufort, Port Boyall Ferry, Boyd's Landing, Hilton Head and BlufRon. Hor popular comm&ndor, Capt. Puck, and all concerned In thus contributing to tho accommodation of tho pnbllo, well deserve the success which will doubtloss reward their enterprise. Repair* to the Mktamora.—In consequence of uomo slight repairs being necessary to this boat, she did not leave for Charleston on Friday morning. Bho will be detained but one day. Njtw Cotton—The first bale of Sea Island Cotton of tbo now crop was received in Charleston, on Wed nesday last, by the steamer Florida, Captain Surtts, from the plantation of Major John E.

The now steamship Tennessee, the consort to the Palmetto, tor the Baltimore and Cbarloston lino, was launched at half-past three o’clock on Wednesday, at Baltimore, In handsome style. Tike August* and Waynesboro* Railroad. Yesterday evening we bad the pleasure, in com pany with a number of gentlemen, guests of Messrs. Finn A Osmond, tho enterprising contractors for the first twenty .miles of this road from this otty,of a ride out as tax as the road is completed, near ten miles.— The trip was a most agreeable one, the plealure of which was not a little enhanced by the very hand some collation which they had prepared for the occa- tion. To us it was a source of much gratification to observe the excellence of tbe road, equalling, wo think, in all the requisites of a good road, tbe best In tho opuntry.

JNO. T. CLOUGH, Chairman. Ckhtkbvilla-b, Gi., 28th August, 1863 Progress of tbe Srmlt 8to Marie Canal. Wo learn from tho Lake Superior Journal that tho work on the canal is progressing very rapidly. The force of tho contractors has all been concentrated thi look sites. About two hundred men are now at work on tho upper look, and evory day shows a deci ded progress. The excavation', at its lower end, Is within twenty-four Inches of. tho bottomland one week of fair weather will ; probably see one-third of tho look ready for laying down, tuo foundation tim bers, which is the last preparatory work needed be fore commencing the massive walls. The balling wheel pit is sunk to a depth of 18 feet, and is to go some where lower. The last five feet of it has been composed or solid, hard red sandstone in layers of a foot or more in thickness, which is a sure indication that a part, if not tho whole, of tho lower lock bottom will be of tbo Borne material, which will be far better than was feared might bo found. The company have purchased a powerful steam tng, which is expected here tho coming week with some large scows, with whloh tho business of bringing stone from Drummond’s Island will at onco be commen ced. Tbo work for carpenters and masons is just com mencing, and soon there will bo a large force of each class employed. The first crib of tbo pier at the low er end oi the canal has been sunk iu its placo, and in a short time the company’s dock will be doing a live ly business. A force of about 25 men are now em ployed in cutting down and hewing timber for locks ana piers on Sugar Island, 12 miles below this place, on some pine lands which the company located for this purpose. The company have contracted for the facestone of tho locks to bo procured at Malden, near Detroit, bat oxpect to use the limestone of Drum mond’s Island tor tho backing, or most bulky portion of the walls. Every part of the work is therefore now fairly commenced. The Pacific Railroad, This question is hourly becoming more involved. The prevailing impression that it is now questionable what may bo tho eventual position upon which the Administration will present themselves next winter, is evidently having weight with 44 the party ” every where. There are thousands whose sympathies with tho opponents of the government’s connection with the schome on constitulonal grounds os well as grounds of political economy, incline them greatly to oppose the measure, who. desiring to sustain the Adminis tration, have, until recontly, been checking their in clination to take position against tho project. En couraged by tbe oxlsting uncertainty as regards the views of tbo Administration in this connection, they are rapidly falling into line against it. A recent publication from Mr. Septimus Norris, of Philadelphia, will also serve to strengthen tho oj Bition to tho government’s connection with it. Norris has for twenty years past been at tho head of the largest locomotive building establishment in the United States, aud has had iuchargo Bimilar works in Russia, for tho government. Beingthus tho leading practical railroad man tho world over, his views are entitled to great weight, and will have their legitimate influence. Now, no estimates that allowing but four huudred passengers per diem at $60 each, the Paoiflo railroad will pay $2,000,000 per annum over and above six per centum on the $100,- 000,000 the construction of the work is to cost, and an ample allowance for wear and tear of road and machinery, the expense of running the trains, Ac— His calculations seem to have demonstrated past dispute, that, in fact, stock in the proposed enter prise will pay at least eight per centum per annum by the transportation of only 400 possongers per di em, alone. The statistics of the travel between California and Oregon, and tho rest of the United States—fixed and wellascertoinedfacta—Bhow that many more th&a four hundred pessongers per diem already make the journey, at an average cost of at least $250, (instead of $60) and with a consumption of an overage ofat least thirty days time, instead of six days, which are to bo required for the Journey when tho railroad may be completed. Tho publication of Mr. Norris iB sure ly destined to be regarded by many os furnishing pos itive proof that the work may bo safely undertaken by private companies, without government aid. We fanoy It will have Infincnco in inducing many, (who heretofore, were willing to see tho government iden- tlflnd with the work, only because they behove it to bo othorwise impossible to build it,) to ebango their position upon tho question. «... . —njuontg 0 f tho project aro also qui- "■ another apple of discord into y will bring forward a project for tho employment of every dollar of tho existing surplus revenue, la extinguishing the public debt.

So they go I Who can tell what is to be tho upshot of tho affair ?— Washington Star. * Strange Big nr—Seventy Swarms op Beks at War.—Ezra Diddle, a well-known citizou of this town, and for many yoars engaged extensively in the management of bees, communicates to us tho follow ing interesting particulars of a battlo among bis bees : He bas soventy swarms of bees, abont equally di vided on the east on west sides of his house. On Sunday, August 14, hla house was suddenly filled with bees, wnich forced the family to fleo at onco to tho neighbors. Tho seventy swarms appeared to be out, and those on ono sido of tho honso were arrayed in battlo against those on tho other side. They fiflod tho air, covering a snaco of more than one aero of ground, and fought desperately for some threo hours, and whilo at war no living thing could exist in the vicinity. They stung a large flock of Shanghai chick ens. nearly oil of which died, and persons passing along tho road side were obliged to make hosto to avoid their sting. A littlo after six o’clock quiet was restored, and the living bees returned to their hives, leaving the slain almost llttcrally covering the ground, since which but tew have appeared around their hives, and those apparently stationed as senti- nels to watch the enemy. But two young swarms were entirely destroyed, and asidofrora the terrible slaughter or bees no other Injuiy waa done. Neither patty was victorious, and they only ceased on the ap proach of night, and from utter prostration.—C’oh- neaut {Ohio) Reporter. - ‘ An article recently published In tbe Tenth Legion of Virginia, says, that in consequence of the agitation on the subject slavery, iu the last General Assembly of tho New School Presbyterian Church, which met at Buffhlo. a number of ministers of that persuasion, in tho Synold of Virginia, have signed tho following resolutions, and proposed them to tho other Southern Synods for adoption: 1. Resolved,/Hnt tbo Presbyteries In tbo slave holding State* dccllno making any response to the Inquiries proposod by the late General Assembly. 2. Resolved, That said Presbyteries be folly repre sented in the noxt Assembly. 3. Resolved, That sold Presbyteries Instruct their delegratcs to tbe next Assembly, in tbe event or the subject of slavery being introduced, to propose reso lutions expressing in the strongest terms tho opinion of tho Assembly,that all fortber agitation of the sub ject in tbat body la most unwise and improper, and should not be permitted. And should the Assembly reruse to sanction such resolutions, tbat tho delegates from sold Presbyteries be instructed immediately to withdraw and nnito with thoso from other portions of tbo churoh opposed to the fortber agitation of this subject In tbo Assembly, either In a new organization or in such otbor measures os in their judgment will be most expedient. ’The same paper says that some 6f theflouthorn members of this churoh are in favor of Immediate accession, and. that, possibly, some will take tbat course, bqt tbat tho plan Indicated In tho abovo reso- Intiona seems generally preferred. -The editor of the Buffalo Express has been shown a new invention for the use of railroads, which Is no less curious than usefol.

Tho details of the condition of many of the ofllcora and soldiers at that period, according to history and oral tradition, wen) melancholy In the extreme. Pos- seeing no menus of patrimonial inheritance to foil back upon—thrown out of even the perilous support of the soldlor at the commencement of Winter, and hardly fit for any other dqty than that of Ihe camp— their situation can hotter be imagined than described. A single instance, as a sample of tbe. situation of many of the officers, os related of tho oonduct of Baron Steuben, may not be amiss. When the main body of tbe army was disbanded at Newburgh, and the veteran soldiers yrere bidding a parting forewell to oooh other, Llout.-Col. Cochran, an aged soldier of tbeNew Hampshire line, remarked, with toots to hla eyes* as ho shook bands with tho Baron s "For myself, I could stand It; but my wife and daughters are in the garret of that wretched tavern, andl have no means of removing thorn.” Come, come,” Bald the Baron, “ don’t giro way thus. I will pay ray respeots to Mrs, Coohran and hor daughters.” When the good old soldier left them, their coun tenances were warm with gratitude—for ho left there all ho had. In one of the Rhode Island regiments were several companies of black troops who had served through the whole war, and their bravery and discipline were unsurpassed. Tho Baron observed one of these poor negroes on the wharf, at Newburgh, apparently in great distress. " What Is the matter, brother soldier 7” " Why, master Baron, I want a dollar to got homo with, now the Congress has no furthor uao for me.” The Baron waa absent for a few moments, and then returned with a silver dollar, whloh he had borrowed. ” There, it’s atl J could get. Take it.” The negrq received It with joy, balled a sloop which was passing down the river to New York, and os he reached tho dock, took offhls hat and Bald— “ God bless you, Master Baron l” These are only single illustrations of the condition of tho array at tho dose or the war. Indeed, Wash ington bad this view at tho close of his farewell ad dress to the army at Rocky Hill, In November. 1793: " And being now about to oonotede theso, his last B nblio orders, to take his ultimate leave In a short mo ortho military character, and to bid a final adieu to tho armies he has so long had tho honor to com mand, he can only again onor,in their bebair, his recommendations to tneir country, and his prayer to tho God of armies.” “ May ampleiustioe bo done them bore, and may the choicest of heaven’s favor, both here and hereaf ter, attended thoso who, under divine auspices, have secured innumerable blessings for others.” “ With these wishes and this benediction, tho Com. mander-in-Cblef Is about to retire from service. Tho curtain of separation will soon be drawn, and the military scenes to him will bo closed forever.” The closing of tho “ military scenes ” I am about to relate. Now York had been occupied by Washington on the 25th of November. A few days afterwards, ho notified tho President of Congress—which body was then in session at Annapolis, in Maryland—that as the war had now closed, ho should consider it his duty to proceed thence and surrender to that body the commission which ho had received from them seven years before. Tho morning of the 5tli of December, 1783, was a sad nnd heavy one to the remnant of tho American army iu the city of New York. The noon of that day was to witncBB the farewell of Washington—he was to bid adieu to his military comrades forever. The officers who had been with him in solemn council, the private who had fought and bled in the *' heavy fight.” under his orders, were to hear his commands no longer. Tho manly form nnd dignified counten- ance of tho “great captain” waa henceforth to live la their memories. As the hour of noon approached, the whole garri- Bon at the request of Washington himself, waa pat in motion, ana marched down Broad Btreot to Fran* cls’jtavern, his headquarters. Ho wished to toko leave of private soldiers alike with tho officers, and bid them nil ndiu. His favorite light infantry wore drawn up in tho lino facing inwards, through Pearl street, to the foot of Whitehall, where a bargo waa iu readiness to convey him to Powle’a Hook. Within tho dining room of tho tavern wore gather ed tho Generals and field officers to take their fare well. Assembled there wore Knox, Green, Clinton, Steu ben, Gates, and others, who had served with him faithfully and truly in tho ** tented field but alas I where were others that had entered tho war with him seven years before? Their bones crumbled in tho soil from Canada to Georgia. Montgomery had yielded up hla life at Quebec, WooBter fell at Dan bury, Woodhull was barbaronsly murdered while a prisoner at tho battlo on Long Island, and Mercer fell mortally wounded at Princeton; the bravo and chivalrio Laurens, after displaying the most heroic courage in tho trenches ofYorktown, died in a tri fling skirmish in South Carolina; tho brave but ec centric Lee was no longer living, and Putnam, like a helpless child was. stretched upon tho bed of sick ness. Indeed, the battle field and time had thinned tho ranks which entered with him in tho conflict of Independence. Washington entered tho room—the hour of separa tion had come. As he raised his eye and glanced on the faces of those assembled, a tear coursed down his check, and his voice was tremulouB os he saluted them. Nor was he alone. Men “ albeit, unused to tho melting flood,” stood around him, whose uplifted hands to cover their brows, told that tbe tear, which they in vain attempted to conceal, bespoke tho an guish they could not hide. After a moment’s conversation, Washington called for a glass of wine. It was brought him. Turning to the officers, he thUH addressed them : 41 With a heart full of lovo and gratitude, I now take my final leavo of you. I most devotedly wish your latter days may be os prosperous and happy as your former ones have boon glorious and honoraDlc.” lie then raised the glass to^his lips, and added, 44 1 cannot como to each of you to take ray leavo, but shall bo obligodto you ir each of you will take mo by the hand.” General Knox, who stood nearest, hurst Into tears, and advanced, incapable of utterance. Washington grasped him by the narid, and embraced him. Tho ofliccrs came up successively nnd took an affectionate leavo. No words were spoken, but all was tho 41 si lent eloquenco of tears.” What were mere words at such a scene? Nothing. It was tho feeling of tho heart—thrilling though unspoken. When tho last officer had embraced him, Washing ton left tbe room, followed by his comrades, and pass ed through tho line of light infantry. His step was slow and moasured, his head uncovered, and tears flowing thick and fast, as he looked from side to sido nttho veterans to whom he now bid. adieu forever.— Shortly an event occurred more touctiing than all the rcat. A glgautio Botdlcr who had stood by hla side at Trenton, stepped forth from tbe ranks and extend ed his hand. 4 ‘ Farewell, ray beloved General, farewell.” Washington grasped his hand, in convuiaivo emo tion in both of bis. Ail disclplino was now at an end. The officers could notlreatrain tho men as they rushed forward to take Washington by the hand, and the vio lent sobs and tears of the soldiers told how deeply engraved upon their affections was the lovo of their commandor. At longth Washington reached tho barge at White hall, aud entered it. At tho first Btroko of tho oars ho rose, and turning to the companions of his glory, by waving his hat, hade thorn aBilentadicu. Their answer was only in tears ; and tho officers and men, with glistening eyes, watched tho receding boat till tho form of their noblo commander was lost sight of in tho distance. Contrast the farewell of Washington to his army at Whitehall, In 1793, and the farewell of Napoleon, to his army at Fontainblcu, in 1815. The ono had ac complished every wish of his heart. His noblo exer tion had achieved tho independence of his country, and ho longed to retire to the bosom of bis home.— His ambition waa satisfied. He fought for no crown, no sceptre, but for equality and the mutual happiness of his fellow beings. No tint of tyranny, no breath of slander, no whisper of duplicity, marred tho fair proportions of his publio or private life; but 44 He was a man, take him for all In all. We ne’er shall look upon his like again.” The other great soldier was the disciple of selfish ambition. Ho raised tho iron weapon of war to crush, only that be might rule. What to him were the cries of the widows and orphans I He passed to a throne king dead bodies of their protectors his step- E anes. Ambition, Belf, were the gods or his y, and to them he sacrificed hecatombs of his fellow men for tho aggrandizement of personal glory. Enthusiasm points with fearful wonder to the name of Napoleon, whilst justice, benevolence, freedom, and all tho concomitants which constitute tho tmo happiness of man, shed almost a divine halo around the name and character of George Washington.

Palladium Orpins, New Haven, Aug. 29. In the cose of Comstock, the conductor of the New Haven train at the time of the Norwalk tragedy, which has been on trial during tbe past week at Dan- burry* thejunr could not agree. They stood nine for acquittal, and threo for conviction, as near as could bo ascertained. They were again sent out, and were to return a ver dict at li o'clock to-day. Bomo or our newspaper contemporaries aro exert ing themselvoB, in ahighly creditable manner, to re lievo the distress in New Orleans, by making their offices the Bureaus of collection, where monies are received and 'promptly forwarded. This Is generous, noble, praiseworthy^ But when these same contem poraries occupy a ha\fcolunpj. daily, in their papers, with accounts of what, they have done, and are do ing—when they publish In foil, every tolegraphlo dispatch which leaves their offices, addressed to tho Mayor of New Orleans, and every letter so addressed, and every scrap of scrip In connection with the col lections they are taking up, they make themselves liable to unpleasant comment—they excite the won der of many, os to the meaning of all this parade— they cause numerous conjectures as to the probability that self-interest and policy, rather than sympatlr and oharity, have been tho incentives to the boasteL deeds; aad they disgust all of thut class of persons who believe it woll for ono hand to be Ignorant of what tho othor hand dooth in the way of charity.— Evening Journal. Mortality.—The deaths In this city lost week numbered 514, being 445 less than that of the week previous. There is no diseaso of an epidemic charac ter In the city. There was one death from yellow fever mentioned os having occurred at tbe City Hos- K ital, but the deceased was sick with tho fever when e arrived hero from Now Orleans on the 17th inat. Tho deaths in Philadelphia the past week were 227, of which number 134 were children. There were 19 deaths from various kinds of fever, including four by yellow. In Boston there wore only 97 deaths, a do orcase of 29 from the previous week.—N. Y. Mirror, Aug. nn Tub Darien Snip Canal—It la now more than a year since we announced, soys the New York Evening Post,the organization of acompany in London for the construction of a ship canalaoross tho Isthmus of Da rien, from San Miguel to Puerto Escosses. Since then, the engineer of the company, Lion Gisborno, ban been making a survey or the country through which the canal is to run, and’has forwarded a portion of his journal to Alexander von Humboldt, from whom no has received a reply. It contains several observations worthy of Its author’s fame and genius. He mentions, in tho course of his letter, that ne was the first person who took guano to Europe, and for forty years tried In vain to have Its agricultural value appreciated. Ho also says that he is tho oldest trav eller in both the tropics of America, and that ho ob tained the first line.of levels across tho isthmus of Panama. Humboldt Is now lu the 84th year of his age. A Shark-Lire Appetite—wo learn that a man, well known in the West end of tho city for his vora cious appetite, devoured for a wager at the Lexington market, on Thureday night last, two medium sized watermelons, two cantclopes, a quarter of a peck of R eaches, and half a dozen raw encumbers! Up to jo time of closing our report no symptoms of cholera morbus had appeared, although several amateur phy sicians continued to watchfully anticipate an attack of tho most violent nature.—Baltimore Times. Newspapers in England-Newspaper publishing has hitherto labored undor great and oppressive bur thens in England. Iu these days, when every body reads and must know how tho world goes, newspa pers have attained so wide a circulation and patron age, that tho government has naturally regarded them as offering couvenient sources of revenue. Ac cordingly, they have been oppressed with a Btarap duty upon every copy issued, and a tax upon every advertisement inserted. This, however, is about to cease. Acts which havo lately passed Parliament, and been approved by the Queen, provide for tbe re moval of the advertisement duty, as woll as the stamp duty on newspaper supplements. The Great Western Mail—We learn that the great mail from Baltimore and Washington to Cin cinnati and Louisville. Ac., is to bo ran in a few days by the way of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, un der an improved schedule, in thirty-oight hours from Baltimore, and forty from Washington to Cincinnati, where it connects closely with tho regular mail to Louisville. This is a saving of twelve hours on tho present timo, to Cincinnati, and twenty-four to Louis ville.—Rail, American. Conklin and Works Sentenced— On Batnrday lost. Judge Ingersoll, of the U. 8. District Court at New Haven, overruled tho motion for arrest of judg ment In the caso of Alfred J. Works and James II. Conklin, and sentenced tbe prisoners each to two years confinement in the state prison. The prisoners wore convicted of having, with intent to defraud the United States, transmitted to tho Pension Office, a certificate, in support of a claim, knowing tho samo to bo false. The sontcnco is considered very lenient, as by statute the term of imprisonment might havo been mado ten years.—N. Y. Com., Aug. 29.

The House can now boast of having a knight and a baronet within its walls. Tho late Chief Justice died without leaving a will. His property, therefore, under Mr. Baldwin's primogenture bill, will be divided among his children. This is an example of the wisdom of tho law, for tho present baronet is independent-Kingston Herald. Death in our Office—We give this morning tho sorrowful intelligence of another calamity in our of fice, in the death of Milton Arthur, a native of Spring- field, Hamilton county, Mass., and aged 20.

A Mistake in the Dark—A few. evenings since, while a gentleman of this city who wears a profusion of dark nalr, and la of dark complexion, was walking with a lady on the avenne, ho was accosted by a watchman, who scizod him by the collar, and said that he had no business out after hours. “After houre,” exclaimed the arrested gentleman, lu astonishment. “ what do you mean ?” “ Don't yon know, yon black rascal, tbat it Is against the law for negroes to be out after 10 o'clock, in Washington, and now it Is near II o’clock.

The common consent of all who havo used Barry’s Tri- copherus. whether for tho improvement sndinvlgoratlon of the hair, or for eruptions, outs, bruises, fcc., place* it at the head all preparations intended for the like purposes. This Is no ill-considered assertion. Figures and facts bear It out. The sales average a million of bottle* a year: the receipts, in cash, 1100,000. This year the business will exceed that amount. The number of orders which dally arrive at the depot and manufactory, 187 Broadway, New York, address ed to Professor Barer, enclosing cash, and requiring imme diate attention, would scarcely be believed. The wholesale domand Is from 2,000 to 3,000 bottles a day, probably ex. ceeding that of all the other hair preparations conjoined. The popularity of the article everywhere, and the liberal terms to dealers, combine to increase its sales with great rapidity; and improvements In its composition, made at considerable expense, adds to its reputation as well as in- trinsic value.

Leaving on hand, including all on shipboard not cleared, 6,000 bales Upland* aud 160 bale* Sea Islands, against 2^02 bales Uplands and 121 bales Sea Islands at the tame time last year. At the time of dosing our last review the market wes languid, and pricee were too Irregular to establish quota tions. Hlnco that date we have had no change worthy of notice, the dally operations being merely nominal. The stock on hand is too light to anticipate any material change until tho now crop cornea Into market freely. The operations for the month of July amounted to nearly 860 bales, at extrema* of 7 to 11#$., and for August to only 634 bales at 7)4 to 10X4—making an aggregate since July 2d of 1483 bales, at the prices published below. The sales of the past week did not exeeed 68 bales at 8J( to IlMd., which lndude 8 bales of Ihe new crop j and the market closes in such an unsettled state that it ia impossi ble to obtain quotations.

The trans action* for the month of August foot up about 800 casks, at $3 02)4 to $4 00, and 70 caaks prime which brought $4 26 100 ft. FLOUR—Owing to the small stock on hand and the con tinuance of adverse winds, which prevented vessels from reaching this port, the operations in Flour hare been quite limited since our last, and prices have ruled considerably abovo average rates. The market, however, has recently been well supplied, and ordsrs can now be filled to any ex tent, at our quotations. GRAIN—There has been a moderate demand for Oats, at extreme* of 46 to 62)44 V bushel. Com has been scarce and in demand at 86 to 964, but the heavy arrivals within the past two week* have caused a decline, and holders are row offering at 76 to 804 wholesale.

GROCERIES—The articles comprised under this head bavo beon in limited demand daring July and August, owing to the absence of country buyers. The market is well supplioil and our merchant* are constantly adding to their stocks in anticipation of an extensive fall trado. It is now, we believe, generally admitted that Savannah is ono of the best Grocery markots in the Union, and many mer chants from the interior of this as well as the adjoining States, who have heretofore purchased their stocks in New York and Philadelphia, find it their interest to buy exclu sively In onr market.
