^ named Alirid. his surname we could not aster,
» n, was drowned while bathing in the river near the
lower Saw Mill. From the statements of some b>ya
wbo wero present, he pulled off his clothes and
•amped in, probably thinking it was not very deep,
and immediately sank and was carried off by the*
strong ebb tide. Efforts were made to recover the
body by dragging, but were unsuccessful.

James Stewart, of Savannah, filed a petition foi
bankruptcy. Oept Geo. A Meicer, Attorney.
Albert Fellner, of Savannah, and Gottshalk Brown,

rnptcy. He now petetions for a discharge.
Robbery of Silver Ware.—A few days
iince Dr. B. W. Hardee, corner of Broughton and
Habersham streets, was robbed of several pieces of
gi.ver and china ware. Nothing was heard of the
stolen articles until yesterday, when information was
iodged at the Barracks. Policeman Walsh was sent
to the house of the smpected negro woman. Sackie
Patteraun by name, when under the building he
found several pieces of the stolen ware. Sackie was
taken to the Barracks, where she awaits a hearing
before His Honor, the Mayor. Sackie, we are in
formed, washed for the Doctor, and in returning the
cloths doubtless found an opportunity to appropiiate
such articles as were within reach.
A Runaway Thief Caught.— During last

giving descriptions of the runaway, and on Friday
last he was caught in Jac'*s3av;lle, Fla. After leav
,ng Bainbridge he came here and put up at the
Screven Q juse, but after taking two meals left with
out paying. He found that our detectives were

did the day alter his arrival. The books of Messrs.
Allison & Griffin show a number of filee entries
and that he has been steadily swindling the firm for
some time past.
Sermon by Bishop Beckwith.—Yesterday
ChriatChurch was crowded by our citizeaa, who
were drawn thither by the announcement that the
Right Rev. Bishop Beckwith was to preach.
The morning services were conducted by the
Bishop, assisted by itev. Mr. Wm. C. Williams, who
has pistoral charge of the Church in the absence oi
its regular Pastor, Rev. Chas. H. Coley, on acconnt
of sickness.
The Bishop took his text from the second book of
Kings, the eighth chapter and part of the thirteenth
verse, “But what, is thy sirvant a dog, that he
should do this great thing,” and then preached
most eloquent discourse, to which the audience paid
the deepest and most reverent attention.
A Worthy Object.—We understand that
the ladies of the Missionary Society of the Inde
pendent Presbyterian Church will give a supper at

solicited, as is the co-operation of all friendly to the
cause. All who are willing to contribute are re

Lecture room of the Presbyterian Church this after
noon at 5 o’clock. The ladies request all contributors
to send their articles to the Han to-moirow.
The Italian Opera.—The last night of
the Italian Opera saw a full attendance. The various
g ma from the operas wero rendered in a manner
that elicited the unb ,undtd admiration of all pres
ent. The press of other matier prevents us from
mentioning even th;»ge pieces which were most wor
thy of notice. The Company has gone to Augusta,
carr^iug away with them the heartfelt wishes of our
community tor their scccess. Tho Charleston papers

though not long organized, is in a most prosperous
condition, and on February 1st, 1858, its nett assetts
were $256,917 94. This is purely a Southern institu
tion, and insures lives, and promptly adjusts and
pays losses. Its principal business is with Southern
States, and to them it appeals for patronage. It has
ample means to fully protect policy holders and pay
all losses. For a proof of Its Southern character and
for a guarantee of good faith the reader haa only
turn to the advertisement in another column and
read the names of the officers and directors of the
Company. Gen. John B. Gordon, our defeated can

Writ of Habeas Corpus.—In the News
and Hebald of Saturday appeared the following,
portion of the proceedings of the Mayor's Court of
the day before:
James Burke, who it appears has been selling li
quor since January without a license, Although three
times notified to procure one, was arraigned yester
day to show cause why he should not contribute
little money to the city for not obeying its ordi
nances. He h ad no excuse, auu tile Marshal was or*
derad to enforce the fine of fifty dollars and coats
with an execution forthwith.
A short time afier the adjournment of the Court.
Mr. Barke was arrested and lodged in jail, from
which on Saturday he was brought upon a writ
habeas corpus issued by Judge Levi S. BusselL At
o’clock the Judge convened a special coart, when the
writ wajs returnedr. Mr. Ricetappeared as counsel
for Mr. Burke, and stated that the Mayor had only
ordered his client to pjy.a fine of $60 and costa,
ordered the Marshal to collect it by an execution
forthwith, and that that order had been placed upon
the docket, but that afterwards there had been
added, "and in default he shall be imprisoned.''
Judge decided to hear
’C0JI»IRMAT,0M.
Dr. J. T. tenon had committed suicide by taking
laudanum at his room in the Pavilion House.
On making inquiries at the proper somcee, we
learned that Dr. Paterson had died a few
before twelve o'clock. The night before he in
about eleven o’clock, apparently in a very nervous
condition, and laid down With his clothes on. Be
tween twelve and two o’clock he arose and took three
or four drinks of spirits. His wife, who was lying on
the lounge, being aroused by some movement or re
mark of tbe Doctor, asked him what he had taken.
His reply was, “Laudanum." She then asked him
how much he had taken, to which he replied, “Forty
drops.’* ‘ la not that a large dose?’’said she. “No,”
replied, “not for a man in my nervona condition."
This remark quieted his wife, and after some further
conversation both went to sleep. About eight o'clock
tbe morning the proprietor of the hotel came in
and a*ked the Doctor some questions, to which he
made answers, but none of them very rational. He
did not g t up then, but laid on the bed and sank
into a deep sleep, breathing very heavily. About
eleven o’clock his wife became alarmed at h’a sleep*
lngao long and breathing so heavily, and tried to
awake him to consciousness. Failing in this, she
sent for Dr. J. D. F>sh f the attendant physician, who
arrived about haT-past eleven o’clock. He found the
patient in an insensible condition, with all the indi
cations which follow the taking of laudanum. Reme
dies were found useless, and a few minutes after the
Doctor’s arrival tbe soul of James T. Paterson
winged its flight to another world.
It Is supposed by many -that the deceased com
mitted enlcide, and there were many rumors afloat
the streets relative to the causes which prompted
him to end his earthly existence, but we are not ad
vised that any of them have a j at foundation.
It ia the opinion of Dr. Fish that the deceased did
not intend to commit suioide, that he had been
drinking and was nervous, and finding that he could
not sleep, had resource to laudanum, a bottle of
which war always kept in theaideboird; that unwit
tingly he either took more than he intended; or
thought that tbe quantity taken would only prodnea
e repose of which he stood in need. The Doctor
states that he attended the deceased two or three
days previous, and had several conversations w.th
him, and saw nothing ei’her in his conduct or con
versation to indicate that he was at all depressed, or
that be in the least meditated killing himself.
The dectased is a Scotchman by birth, very intelli
gent, and at the time of his death was thirty-six years
age. Several years previous to the war he came
Bos'on, Massachusetts, and engaged in hia profes
sion of dentistry. There he married, and also thcro
bis wife died, after which he removed to Charleston,
South Carolina, where he worked as a dentist for
some lime, and then moved to Augusta, Geor
gia, where lio worked at his profession. While
there he married his present wife. At the breaking
out of the war lio wont to Richmond, Va, and, we
earn, was lor a time a surgeon in tho C. 8. A. Du
ring the latter part of the war be was employed In
-Riohinond, Vi., aud Columbia, S. C.. lithographing
Confederate money. After tbe close of the war,
some time iu the fall of 18C5, he removed to this city.
He had been carrying ou an extensive lumber busi
ness for some time past, having his mi.ls at Darien
aud his office here.—
His remains were taken to Augusta yesterday by
the Central Railroad, where they will be interred in a
lot of tbe fumily in the cemetery there.
Mayor’s Court.
Hon. R. C. Anderson, Mayor, Presiding.
Saturday, May 16, 1868.
George Gibbons is a bonnie boy, his father's pride,
hia mother’s joy ; bnt Satan got into his heart some
ime ago, and niggers, when possessed, are very bad,
you know. George GibbonB couldn’t tell the truth;
the devil always made him lie, forsooth. Good Pap
py Grace tried hard his morals to amend, and told
Great Geobqb’s hatchet story to th-it end, George
Gibbons sought a hatchet then, that he might rank
wirh truthful men ; and aeeki.ig for this moral pan
acea, he spied a first clabs hardware 6tore quite
near. While passing by he saw a hatchet; tbe
devil whispered to him “snatch ill” He blindly
let old Satan have his say, and picking up tbe tool be
ran away. George Gibbons was pursued and caught,
and to the Major's Court was brought. George
Gibbons thought a hatchet action cculdn’t lie;
said the witness, “That’s all in your eye.’’ George
Gibbons now, is spading sand, a mem >er of the foot
ball band ; Oh, warning take, who read this simple
tale ; vice brings its own reward—'twill never fail.
H. Raggcntiu was complained of for peddling
cloth without a license, bat it appearing that he had
only peddled Just a very little, and was reduced to
the necessity by distress in his family and inability
to get business, his case was continued for further
investigation.
Aud behold, there were giants iu those days, and
one of them was Silas Addison, suruamed tbe Ethi
opian, because of tbe blackness of his skin, which
was the son of Anak. And Silas took unto him a
wife, of the daughters of Africa, but he took her not
according to the enstoms of the land, bat after the
manner of the heathen. And Silas was the driver of
a beast of burden, even a male, and did guide a dray,
laden with cotton and other merchandise until even
tide. And it came to pas’, as Silas was bearing water
unto bis mule, one said unto him, “Behold thy
wife that thou hast taken unto thee, and see if her
actions be good in thy sight,” but more spake he not.
And Sila 5 * girded up bis loins, and went unto the hab
itation of her who was called his wife, aud upbraided
her, and did utter vehement language. And one who
regarded the peace of the city went unto the offl.
cers, and the officers seized upon Silas tbe son of
Anak, and bore him to prison. And 8Uft8 resisted
tbe officers with valor, but was compassed about by
numbers, and overcome. And it cams to pass on
the following day he was bronght before the chief
ruler of tbe city, and when the officers had spoken,
and Silas the son of Anak had apoken, the ruler said,
Verily thou bast acted foolishly; for hadst thou gone
peaceably with the officer unto the centurion, then
thou wouldst have been aUowed to depart, seeing
that thou didst no harm unto her that is called thy
wi e. Butin that tliou hast maltreated those that
were in authority, thoa shalt surely be punished. And
was fined ten dollars in money, which is shin
plasters. And the people which were gathered to
gether in the judgment hall were content.
Admlautr.tion of the Hit. .1 St. P.t-
rlck’a Church by BUhop Yerot.
Ycitardzy the rit, of c-or.flrmitlon, held to rach
■O much reverence among the Catholic denomination,
waa administered-to one hundred and six persons at
the St. Patrick’s Church, corner of West*'Broad and
Liberty streets, by Right Rev. Bishop Augustin Verot.’
Tbe interest felt iu the ceremony attracted a large
crowd of persons, among whom were the parents of
the children who were to be confirmed, and a Urge
number of persons of other denominations, who
took great interest in the impressive ceremonies.
At half pa3t ten o’clock the exercise* were com
menced with High Mass, celebrated by Bishop
Verot, Rev. Fathers C. 0 Peadergrast, of St Patrick’s
Parish, and P. Whelan, or St. Johu’s Parish, assist
ing.
the confirmation
commenced about eleven o'clock, aud the rite was
administered to fifty-one boys and forty-three girls of
the St. Patr.ck’s Parish, and also to twelve adults.
The ceremony was of the mo9t impressive charac
ter. The absence of the choir, wnieh occompamed
Rev. Father Ryan to the dedication of the chart-h at
Brunswick, was felt, and in a measu.e detracted
from the interest of the occasion.
Tbe names of the candidates f >r Confirmation were
called by Rev. Father Peadergrast, and each, as his
her name was called, advanced to the altar and
knelt before the Bishop, who, annoinling the fore
head of the candidates with the holy Chrism in tbe
foim of the cross, said: “I sign thee with the sign of
the Cjos8; 1 confirm thee with the Obrism of Salva
tion in tbe name of the Father, of the Son and of the
Holy Ghost.”
After the rite had been administered to all
THE CONFIRMATION SERMON
was preached by B.ishop Verot. He selected for bis
text the 21st verse of the 1st chapter of the second
epistle of Paul to the Corinthians, "He that confirms
us in Christ. He that has annotated as io God, who
has also sealed us aud given tho p.edgo of the spirit
our hearts.
The Bishop remarked that these words of the Apos
tle contained a summary of the doctrine of tho law
of Christ concerning the sacred sacrameut which was
be confirmed. We fiad the name of the aicred
rite In the text, “He that confirms us,” the author oi
the same, who is God, tbe instrument of the sancti
fication imparted to the soul, which is an unction—
the character or indellible seal imprinteJ on the soul,
to the chief effect of Confirmation, which is to give
be Holy Ghost to tho worthy receiver. The Holy
Ghost is given in Confirmation to strengthen Chris
tians in the prolession of their faith, and in
the practice of their moral and religions
dnties. How much do we not stand in need
of strength and tortitade. At our tim: i Ill-
profession of the Christian faith involved the dan
gerof loosing properly, liberty and life. For three
hundred years did the Roman Emperors wage war
against the Church. Innumerable Christians sealed
their faith with their blood. They preferred rat' cr
to die innocent than to live guiluly in a^ostacy ar.u
crime. We call those heroes of tho t hristian Church
martyrs—these martyrs of the Catholic Church c rant
by thousands and hundreds of thousands. You re
celve, beloved children/ the same spirit who g »ve
such superhuman strength to the martyrs, and al
though you will not be called to make the sacrifice
of your life for your religion, yon o&nnot av )id suf
fering and persecutions for virtues’ sake if you waul
to be faithful to tho end. Confirmation give3 you
strength for that purpose.
He then delivered a powerful exortation to parents
regarding tbair duties for the spiritual welfare of
their children.
The discourse was about forty minutee in length
and was noticeable for its eloquence and practical
application to tbe sni jeet.
After the sermon the benediction was pronouncid
and the congregation dismissed.

Anniversary of Trinity (Methodist Sab
bath School.
The forty-sixth anniversary of Trinity Sunday
School was celebrated yesterday at Trinity Methodist
Episcopal Chu ch, with appropriate and impressive
services. The bright array of children, about four
hundred in number, who mingled the'r voices in tbe
beautifnl bymns and praisas cf the greit Jehovah
was a lovely sight, indeed, and teachers, parents and
friends gathered with them in the great con 'rogation,
and with them uni ed ia the solemn services.
After singing by the Sibbath School, Rev. Dr.
Lovick Fierce offered up a fervent appeal to the
Throne of Grace.
Another ode was then snug, afti r which tho Super
intendent. C. D. Rogers, retd bis annual report, of
which the following is a brief synopsis:
ANNUAL REPORT.
In the year 1815 a school was organizrd iu Savan
naht->meeton8indays, the object of which seems
to have been the mental culture and religious in
struction of children. Tais waj a union euterprse
of the different denomination * iu the city at that
time, and was the only one of the kiou lii existence
here for many years.
In lb2i the R*v. James O. Andrew, the ven
erable Senior B ; sh p of or:r Church with that far
seeing wisdom so characteristic of tho man. siw io
the Sabbath School system, if rightly conducted «n
element that would add much strength to ihe Ohu:ch.
and determined to cultivate the field t.ha ! . lay so in-
vitingiy open before him. Withthis view he in that
year organized the Methodist School of Savannuh,
and whicn. so far as we know, has been iu success
ful operation ever tiuce. Many faithfol laborers in
this vineyar.f of our Master have gone to their re
ward In a higher and butter world, and we are per
mitted to believe that many re tpients of their in
struction have gone to meet them there.
After throwing out some vainable suggestions, the
?uperiotendent said that the officers of the school
consisted of one Superintendent, one fern lie As
sistant Superintendent, one Secretary and Treasurer,
one librarian aud three Assistants, twenty-seven
lady and ten gentlemen teachers. Three hundred
and twenty-five scholars out of the f ur hundred on
the roll attend regularly. A number at end the
Wesley School in the morning. We have f urteon
classes or girls twelve of boys, five of boys and girls,
five Bible classes and one Infant class. The librari
1s not large enough for a school one-third ihe s ze oi
curs Since cur last anniversary, we have organized
a regular Missionary Society in the school, all mem
hers, officers and teachers contributing as much at
they are able; and since December 23d, we have col
lected $6*. A large number of the scholars subscribe
from ten to fifty cents per month for the support ol
the Church.
After another hymn by the children, Dr. Pierce,
the agent of 8unday Schools of the Georgia Confer
ence, delivered an able and impressive address di
recting his remarks more directly to parents and
teachers, and in a very forcible and practical man
ner advocated the claims of the generation coming
on npon th»generation passing away for sound re
ligious instruction. We are lorry that want of space
prevents us from giving in full the eloquent and fer
vent address of Dr. Pierce, but we are satisfied that
it will accomplish much good In the minds and
hearts of his bearers.
After other religious services the proceedings were
Closed with a bendiction by the Pastor.
TRINITY CHURCH,
in which the anniversary exercises were held,was com
menced In 1848 under the auspices of Rev. Dr. Alfred

Halting the correspondence In the late ajTiir between

Capt. D. Waldhaukr:
Dear Sir:—I have received your note of this dite.
With the highest respect for yourself I must s ty that
my taste aud judgment equally disapprove publica
tions of the nature proposed. They seem to me to
intrude, unnecessarily, private afftira upou the
public. They are calculated to be productive of
barm ra’her than of good, by creating partisans of
either side and by provokiag collateral disputes
among persons not directly interested in the princi
pal question. They appear to me especially objec
tionable, when, as iu this case, so much tim? has
elapsed, that any general interest the subject may
have excited, must have died away, or givea place to
other aud more recent topics engaging public atten
tion.
As, however, you express the opinion that a publica
tion is necessary to place the position of your
principal in a proper light before the community, I
waive these objections and assent to your proposal.
Very respectfully yours,

Sir:—I am Just in roceipt of your note of yester*
lay, inquiring if you are the person alluded to in a
paragraph of the editorial of tbe moruing. I am
constrained to say th-tt such a question is extraordi

more thau any and every other member of society.

Savannah, April 25th, 1863.
S. Y. Levy, Bsq., Editor of the Advertiser,
Sir:—Your commnuication of this date In reply
o mine of the 2Atn inst., is received. It Is hardly
necessary for me to say that It is unsatisfactory.
I mada my inquiry of yon in consequence of the
ipiuion and belief ol various friends tnat 1 was the
person re ter red to in your editorial. Doabtless you
did not in ead to commit yourself in tbe article al-
uded to—but you went far enough to lead others to
infer that 1 was the person.
It Is therefore my duty to press that inquiry, and
request of you a categorical reply. Any communi
cation which does not admit or deny tbe fact will be
regarded by *ne as an admistion that 1 am tbe person
reierrcd to. This will be banded yon by my friend,
Capt. D. Waldh^uer, who will receive your reply.
Tour obedient servant,
James J. Waring.

S. Y. Levy, Esq , Editor Advertiser:
Sir —Your note of yesterday is received. Having
informed you in my note or the Both mat. tout lor
reasons therein sta-ed I would consider your failure
to either affirm or deny that 1 was the person referred
io in your editorial of the 21: h iutt. as au admission
that 1 was tbe person so alluded to, aud your having
in your last note faded to either affirm or deny the
fact, 1 am compelled to conclude that you did mean
me. »
1 have now to request of you a retraction of tho
offensive language contained in that article.
Your obedient servant,

To Henry Williams and David Waldsauee. Esq). :
Gentlemen:—In accordance with the request con-
tned in your note of this date, we hays met and
considered all the doenments referred to us in the
matter oi controversy between Dr. Jemes J. Waring,
and Capt. 8. Ysies L-vy, and nimnimoasly decide
That we are unable to discover anything iu the edi
torial in the Savannah Advertiser of the 24 h of April
which particularizes any individual specially, and
that there is not sufficient reason for the asaumptiou
by Dr. Wariog that he was the person alluued to, nor
can we concede that the refusal oi Capt Levy to “ad
mit or deoy ” tbe application justifies that assumption.
Whilst we recognise fully the tqual responsibility
■ an editor of a public journal, aud a private citizen,
for abusive or iusulii g language, yet we cannot ad
mit the right of every one who pleases to consider
himself the subject of remarks couched in general
terms to compel an editor, by this self application,
either to withdraw the article, or to reader sstialac
tion.
Such a course wan’d be productive of endless diffi
culties, and injure the useiulnesa of the press as cen
sors of public conduct. We feel conatraioed, how*
ever, to express our disapprobation of the imputation
of improper “motives” to any one to whom lha ar
ticle in questiou may be considered to apply.
We arc gentlemen, very respectfully,
Wm. Hunter,

Db James J. Wabiso:
Sir:—l am in receipt of your note of this date,
still maintain the ground taken by me in my notes of
the 15th and 26th insts.
As a member of tho editor al fraternity, I will not,
at your solicitation violate the established rules
which govern it upon such a subject. I do not re
cognize your right to make of me auy of the de
mands contained in your several notes.

Savannah, April 28ih, 1868.
3. Y. Levy, Esq.:
Sir . —Your letter of the 27 Ji inst. was received to
day. You will permit me to express surprise that
after having, in your newspaper, used language of a
Highly offensive character, so evidently printed at
me that, as 1 have already stated, it was tbe bclier
aud opinion of various friends that I was the person
to whom you referred iu that article, you should re
fuse to accede to my request for information whether
or not I was tbe person whom you meant; and this
especial y, when In your editorial Article of vO-day
you say, in regard to tbe courae pursued by General
vleade to your newspaper, ‘ Time waa when the man
liness and high tone of the Doited States Army would
hive scorued to have reported to au adventitious
power to escape tbe necessities of personal redress”—
for it appears that you expect, iu tbe instance of your
personal remarks upon the actijn and course or the
General Commanding; to be called ou for personal
redress, while, in my case, you shield yourself, after
iudulg ug iu au unwarrantable attack upon my charac
ter and motives, behind an assumed “established rule
of the editorial fraternity.”
In my la*t note 1 afforded you au opportunity to do
what it might be thought a generous impulse would
have dictated, independently of any action on my
part further than au intimation that 1 considered
myself aggrieved, but without t fleet; and it is now
only left for to demand the satisfaction customary
amongst gentlemen.
My lriend, C ipt. Waidhauer, will confer with any
friend whom you may name, and arrange ait pre
liminaries for a meeting.

view to settlement,” Ac., Ac., was received by me
this afternoon.
I consider it an appeal which the dictates of hu
manity and the laws of society alike forbid me to dis-
rega d, and inasmuch as I know of none more highly
fitted for it than yourselves, I would be pleased t-j
have jou undertake the proposed mediatorial offloe.
4pl shall expect tffbe advised by you without loss of
time whether in behalf of his friend Capt. Levy. Mr.
Williams assents to or declines yoar proposition.
Thanking you for the kind Interest manifested in
this affair,

Arrival of Military Prisoners.—We
understand that the gentlemen alluded to in tho ar
ticle below, whkh we copy from the Columbus San
of Friday, arrived here on Saturday In charge of the
military and woresent down to Fort Pulaski:
The power o^ the bayonet and th* weakness of
law was again manifest iu our c;ty yesterday About
10 o’clock James W. Barber, City Wharfinger and
Clerk Of the Interior Court—who a day or two since
resigned the latter position—and Wade Stephens,
both white men, and John Wells and James Stapler,
free 'men, were arrested by the military anthoritie.-*.
immediately lodged in tbe guard house, and at 2
o’c.ock were sent to Savannah, via the Macon train,
In custody of ten armed so'.dn-rs. It is need
less tc add, tbe arrested persons were mem
bers of the Democratic party. They are of
the number who, some six weeks ago, were confined
for no cause that was made public, by the military
officials, iu the Court House, for five days, and then
released on a bond signed by some four hundred of
our citizens Unavailing attempts were made yester
day to discover tbe cause of th< se measures. Promi
nent ltwyers we-e told, when the prisoners arrived
in Savannah, they would learn what charges were
preferred against them The supporitiou is scala
wags here, whose influence seems to be potent with
epaulettes and shoulder straps, from private pique,
bad the arrests made, and that the parties are to be
tried before a military commission lor causes that
only can be conjectured. Arrangements have been
made to secure distinguished counsel iu Savannah
for tbe prisoners. No one is safe irom theie arbitra
ry arrests.

Savannah, May 16—6 P. M. J
Cotton.—Wo do not feel warranted in making quo
tations upon actual sales, the reported transactions
amounting only to 51 bales, at irregular prices. There
was some little inquiry iu the eaily part of the day,
but it ceased ou receipt of dispatches sustaining hol
ders in their former firmness. Buyers want to fill
thpir orders at a profit between this and tho New
York market, upon which term s holders are unwilling
to sell, believing that their demands must ultimately
be met.
We know of some lots of low middling offered at
30c, but without takers, their prices ranging from &
to lc lower. One bale of eea island is reported sold
at $1.
The receipts since Friday amount to 497 bales.
Gold.—Steady; bought at 139, sold at 140® 141.
Exchange—Is quiet, little offering, 151>£ for 60
days. New York sight quiet; bought at par, sold at
ii premium.

than the actual cost of tbe article in the Northern
markets. Stocks are very low, a-id decreasing, there
having been uo arrivals siuce our last. Demand is
light and prices firm at former quotations: Shoulders,
15@16^c; ribbed sides, 17*®17«c; cloar ribbed
sides, i8>«c; clear sides, 18^®19c: bams, plain.
19®20c; canvassed, 21®22c.
Flour—Remains unchanged, though quotations in
the Northern aud Western markets continue firm.
Tue demand is fair aud stocks are fuller, some lots
having been ordered for the regular trade. We renew
our quotations: Northern super, $10 60®ll,50; ex
tra, $11 50® 14; family, $15®1G. Some lots of Ucor-
, ;ia floor, which have been withheld, are now cooi
ng in. and some choice family is now in market, at
$16 per barrel; sacks. $8 60; other grades are very
scarce, and there is but little demand.
Grain—Corn continues dull. It is sold in small lots
from store and at depot at $1 20®1 25. Oats continue
firm, and are selliug only in small lots from Biore
$1 10@1 16.
