MURPHY RESIDENT DENTIST, R ESPECTFULLY informs his friends, and the public generally, that he continues the practice of DENTISTS Y in ail its branch es, and has fittod up an office, over the store of McGuire 4 Pinson, where he is prepared to execute all operations appertaining to Den tistry, in the most approved manner. Ht would also call the particular attention of those in want of Artificial Work, to his su perior style of teeth, set on gold plats ; for beauty, strength and life-like nppeaennee, thsy are not surpassed. As an impression has been made that my prices for dental opera tions are higher than the usual run of Den tists, I beg leave to tay that they are th*sams as charged by Deutists at Augusta, Maeon and Savannah. For Artificial Work mychor- ges are as follows: Entire Rets Upper and Lower from $100 to $2 at Half Sets, Upper or Lower, from 50 to 150 Temporary Sots, Upper and Lower, 25 each. Partial Sets in proportion to the above. As I am well posted in all the late improve ments ofihe day, I feel confident that I can meet tbo wants of ell who may need th* sot- viees ofa Dentist, and if references nr* want ed; as to their utility in answering th* purpo ses of nature, I can give them in abundance, from those wins have tested iny skill, for the last fourteen years, iu this, and adjoining States.

As an illustrfe tion, you and your family meet m con vention of the whole, and adopt a reso lution authorising the construction of a hen-coop in your back yard. You at once appoint* me superintendent of the work, putting a thousand or two dol lars in the bank for me to check on.— I get you to appoint my brother-in-law olnef engineer. 1 appoint two of my brothers assis tant superintendents, and my brother- in-law appoints two of his brothers assis tant engineers—all at your expense.— We buy us each a fast horse ana buggy, and ride around town, drink cocktails and play billiards till the bank deposit gives out when we make out a printed leport of seventy-three pages, furnish ing you a complete topographical sur vey of your back yaitl, and a vast amount of statistical information with regard to the number of hens you are likely to have for the next forty years. We wind up the report with the an nouncement that the site of the hen coop has been selected, and a call for another appropriation to prosecute the work, which we assure you will be done with “vigor.” You place another thousand or two in bank, and we em ploy two hundred hands at three dol lars a day to transportseventy-five cents worth of lumber (which costs you un der our management about tens times that many dollars) to the place of oper ations, which requires about three months. In the meantime, we drive around audgoou vigorously with the liquor and the billiards. We then come up with another report and a demand for another appropriation. With this we get the walls of the structure up, and with one or two more appropriations, and great many more cocktails and bil liards, we get the thing covered in; and at the end of twelve months, which we very appropriately style our “fiscal year,” we put you in formal pos session of a ten thousand dollar hen coop, that any negro carpenter would have been glad to knook up some Sat urday afternoon for a suit of your old slothes.. lie thus modestly excuses himself for epistolary brevity. I meant to write you a long letter to night, but unhappily 1 fine myself placed in a singularly unavoidable po sition for writing with my accustomed force and perspicuity. My room is sit uated in awing of the building. Just opposite is another wing, with a nar row court yard between. There must be a ooucert or a circus, or some sort of show in town to night, for at a window immediately opposite mine a couple of very pretty, what I would suppose to be chambermaids, have been putting on their clothes tor the lust hour, as if they were fixing up to go somewhere. Thu is very annoying to a man of family, and if it were not so far down stairs, I would go and complain to the landlord. It would require an individual of tre mendous power of concentrating his thoughts to write an able letter under such circumstances. 1 would close the blinds and get further from the win* dow, but I expect to pay for staying in this house, and I am not to be driven from pillar to post by such a spectacle ns is now before me.

", v . f , With these data before us, it is not extravagant estimate that the cc crop of the eight State*, during next ten yean, will increme 40 But when is added to this the ration that in the event of the States standing aloof from the South increased emigration hither of the CtB- zens of those States, with their fhmUMi ot slaves, is sura to take pUoe, we map safely disregard the 4$ per oeat. of the crop which is produced in those States, and base our calculation upon the former entire crops of the United States. On that basis, the expectation of future crops in the ConfederateStatse is as follows -. fn . ’ Bale*. 1861- 62 4,088,000 1862- 63 4,228,000 1863- 64 4,373,000 1864- 65 4,520,000 1805-66 4,67c,000 2866-67 4,8351000 1867- 68 5,000,000 1868- 69 5,171,000 1869- 70 --a-*•— 5,348,000 The next element in the calculation is the average weight of the bale of oot- ton, ranging from 300 pounds on the Atlantic coast to 400 on the Mississippi river, and upwards of 500 pounds for the Mobile market. This we think* may safely be put at 440 pounds; accor ding to which the duty per bale will be 55 cents. These data give us the follow ing results, as the principal and inter est of the $15,000,000 loan for each year, the income applicable to the redemp tion of the debt, and the balance re maining each year: Debt.

There are Four Fine Tablet—three of them quite now, and of th* celebrated Brunswick manufacture.— The roem will be kept comfortably warmed at all time*, and welt lighted at night. N. J. REYNOLDS, decStwtf Proprioto Europe and the Morrill Tariff. The Morrill Tariff seems to have pro duced a consternation in tho British manufacturing districts, and turned from our Northern protective abolition ists all the sympathy of their allies— the British abolitionists. The London Times, whose sympathies all along have been with tliu Northern Abolitionists and Republicans, and which has treated very contemptuously the aotion of the South, has a most significant editorial. After declaring that two rival republics new actually exist in the American Un ion, under widely different auspioeg, and expressing its abhorrence of slavery, and its sympathies with the North, it proceeds as follows: “Their internal institutions ore their own affairs; their finanolal and political arrangements are emphatically ours.— Brazil is a slaveholding empire, but by its good iaith and good conduct it has contrived to establish for itself a place in the hierarchy of nations far superior to that of many powers which are free from this domestic contamination. If the Northern Confederacy of America evinces a determination to act in a nar row, exclusive and unsocial spirit, while its Southern competitor extends the hand of good fellowship to all mankind with the exception of its own bonds men, we must not be surprised to see the North, in'ipite of the goodness of its cause and the great negative merits of the absence or slavery, sink into a secondary position, and lose the sympa thy and regard of mankind. The Revenue of the Confederate States.—A correspondent of the Ma con (Ga.) “Telegraph” writes from Charleston. On the subject of revenue for the Confederate States, I am crdibly inform* ed that Collector Boston, in Savannah, is willing to enter into bond to turn out three million dollars to the Treasu ry the first year, Charleston is, with equal confidence, oounted for five mil lions—New Orleans for seven, and Mo bile for three. There you have abun dance of money. Charleston harbor is woll stocked with shipping, and it is odd to see the Confederate nag flying from the North* ern masts. In 1870 the sum of $1,161,587 would have to be provided for, while the duty would yield $2,941,400, or nearly tktee times the necessary amount. Tbe Mvstrrious Murder at Jackson. —All newspaper readers remember the account published at the time relative to the atrocious and mysterious murder of young Miller, in the Union Bank, at Juckson, Tenn., and the robbing of the bank, about two years ago. A Jackson paper a few days since intimated that a prominent and well known citisen of that place was suspected of being the author of this dreadful crime, and had fled from that place. The Banner, of this city, has learned something further in regard to the matter, and its issue of Sunday says: “We learn verbally that this suspected person jis Mr. John S. Miller, a prominent merchant of Jack- son, a man of high standing, and nnole of the unfortunate victim. The evi dence against him was entirely circum stantial, but seems to have been strong enough to induce him to seek safety in flight. Among other things it isknown as we are informed, that previous te the murder, his affairs were very much em barrassed, and he appeared greatly har- rassed on account or the fact. Subso-’ quently to the murder he paid off hi* lia bilities, and went on again swimmingly. —Nashville Gaulle The Purpose or the Secession Party in Tennessee.—The Memphis Avalanche says: To make easy the minds of the Un ionists in Memphis and throughout the State—a doubt about the purpose of our party being suggested in a communica tion in the Bulletin of yesterday—we say that we will run a candidate for every office, from Mayor up to Governor. We do not intend to let the most remote opportunity pass which will aflbrd us a chance of fighting them. We will have a regular party organization in .Mem phis, in SE ’ county, in foot all over political *°y i ., the State. We will never give up the fight until we drive them from tho last ilace of honor and trust in Tennessee, f they whip us we will try them again, and if whipped again we will try them unother time, and so on without end. Ours is a war until Tennessee secedes, or of a life time If she dees not. We cannot strike hands with a Union how ler upon Mty riane involving even the most infinitesimal extent of power. ; . -ewe—-—- Goons Doty Frrr.—The St. Louis Republican of the *23d says; “Every day our importers of foreign merchandize are receiving, by way of New Orleans, very considerable quan tities of goods, duty fret. The goods are landed at the port of New Orleans—no Custom House notioe is taken of them —no bonds are extended for the pay ment of duties on their arrival there, and on many articles the saving of one- half the duty, only, would afford a handsome profit. If this thing is to be- eome permanent, there will be entira revolution in the course ot trade, and New York will suffer terribly. Our merchants have capital enough WJ ► tify them in making their purchases m Europe, and shipping t° New ■uncone,. and in th.t city, PraP*? Ubftee*advantages, we shall be ablft to sell cheaper than any other city in tha valleyofthe Mississippi.
