He then took a carriage and drove to the Palace Hotel at the head of an immense proocBtion, and aooompanied by great crowds. Bonfires biased at the street corners, lUomination lit up every window and tbe glare ofBoman candles and eleotro-lighta made the broad thoroughfare as bright aa day. Under a continuous arohery of flrgi, banners, and. festoons and draperies, the procession moved up Market street to Montgomery, end turned down the lat ter street. Crowds blocked tke sidewalk,' cheer after cheer rolled along the whale line of nurob, and almost drowned the martial strains of numerous bands. The broad ensign tossed in the nigh winds glaring with the light of fires and the glare of roekets and fireballs. The light mist hovering over the city reflected tha light of the fireworks and illumina tions, until tho heavens seemed ablazs. Not only tbe streets on the march, but the cross streets between Market and Montgomery Avenue were brilliant with decorations. Even the Chinese quarter seemed to have caught tbe infection and from a hundred of etaffa the great dragon flag flaunted its fantastio blazonry beside the stars and stripes. Continuing its march, tho procession moved through Montgomery Avenue to Kearney street. Here, if possible, the cio wds were still more dense and enthusi astic and every display of fireworks, elec- trio lights, lime lights and every con ceivable means ot illumination were of increased brilliancy. * * On arrival at Market street the proces sion, moving up a Jew blacks;, cannier* marobedto the Falaoe Hotel. Here a magnificent arch forty feet , in height, spanned Montgomery street, em blazoned with national colors, -and bear ing the inscription ‘‘Welcome to Grant.” At this point tbe carriage oontqleing the General was drawn up while tba prooes- *ion marohed in roview—cheer after cheer rending the aT as division after di vision passed by. On the conclusion of tho review tbe va<> rious organizations were dismissed, and General Grant was conducted to his quar ters in the Palace Hotel, whleh bad been speoially prepared and furnished for his reception.

On these figures the Constitution remarks, as fol- [tows: The most remarkable feature in thie report ia the decline in the assessments 'ef cotton factories. It is off $1,132,000 in one item. Or, to put It. differently, there ia more decline in this one partic ular than in ail the property of the State.

THE MINING INVESTMENTS. The point tbac needs doccoring most, however, is tha “capital invested in min ing.’' The total reported under this head i3 $97,530, being a gain of $20,000 over last year. This total ib absurdly small. There are many «iogle mines -in Georgia worth this money. We venture to say that one single factory in Atlanta ha3 made $100,000 worth of Btamp mills for gold-mining alone in tbe past eight years. Where, then, is the account of the im mense amount; of machinery brought in from’othor States, and where is the enor mous value of the mines ? One ooal mine —tho Dade county company—returns over half of this tax, leaving less than $50,000 for all the gold mines, copper mines, etc., in the State. Wo reel per fectly sure that these mineB, assessed at less than $5,000 in the total, oould not be bought to-day tor ono miilion dollars, in other words, we think they aro north at foreed sale $950,000 more than they are returned at. We believe that the min ing property of Georgia to-day is worth fivo million dollars at tbe least estimates. Tho annual product of bullion is pnt at $1,000,000. This all comes out of prop- erty worth less than $50,000. Why, oug mine was sold last week at $32,000. This matter should be looked into. The State is nhort on thi3 assessment millions of apDani- THE CITIES AND TOWNS FLOURISHING. It will be seen that the cities and towns bov? more than held their own. The in crease in oity and town property is $636,- £73 /This is a very handsomo showing. •'The' merchants, too, are doing well. They have increased their Etocks nearly one million dollars. There is a decrease of $979,532 - in improved lands, which means farms and plantat ions. There is a decrease of $404,176 in muleB and horses, which is hard to account for, aa the farmers have increased the value of their tools and implements $113,034. A notable increase is in the capital invest ed in shipping, which goes up $283,955. and aggregates nearly a million dollars. There 13 a heavy decrease In bank shares and a slight decrease in etocks and bonds. Thb Augusta News quotes Judge Her- eshel V. Johnson as saying that “Tress- nrer Benfioe should not be impeaohed— that ho is not guilty of a high crime.” The Dalton Headlight learns “that suit will be brought against the Atlanta Con* stilulion tor $25,000 damage, by Miss Jans Eldrldge, late of this county, and a K-uit for libel against -the correspondent who wrote that Bhe was enciente by Standing, the Mormon older.” Thb gin house of Mr. TiUman Jen nings in !ti90 County, together with nine bales of cotton and a quantity of email grain woa burned last week.

Ope charge, was that it was brought abo&t by the bears who secured all - the steam ship room at Savannah and Charleston to New York ia order to fill September contracts in New York. Another charge has been tbat the bulls bought up' tbe steamship lines between tbe two South ern ports named end New York, until October 1st, to prevent the bears from fill-, ing September con^raots. Both theae chargee have been strenuously denied by tbe steamship line?, and it is evident from what we have ascertained that both charges aro unfounded and that the blockade is owing Biinply to legitimate causes, certain shipper? having secured transportation for ootton to New York, end these engagements took all the ca pacity of the steamers nntil Bspteniber 29tb. Both the Savaanah and Charles- -.ou lines put on an extra steamer a week ia order to meet the increased demand npon their capacity, andiha'schedule was made faster so as to aosommodato ship pers as much as possible. Each steamer that has left those ports has; carried her full complement of cotton. After the 20 ib the pressure will be relieved and cotton will then go forward muoh faster. To-day tho receipts and sales in Au gust* havo both been large, the former amounting to 1,618 bales, and the latter to 1,421 bides. One buyer took 500 bales.

The Ether Dhootiby.—The Coniti- lution prints the following interview with Dr. Wilhito, who was for thirty years the intimate friend of Dr. Crawford Vf- Long: 1 . L ■ ' “VVhab aboutyonr first experienoein producing anesthesia, Dootorf” “Well, ia 18391 went to a frolic at the house ot Mr. Weir, situated about five miles from the town of Athens. I was then quite a young man, about nineteen, and wai; in fur fun. At this party were a cumber of young men, very lively boys, who were-in for all sorts of mischief, like myself. On that night, we canght a ne gro boy, and while Mr. BobertWeir held him I held a bandkerohief saturated with sulphuric ether to hie nose, and held it thero come time. After a little while the boy sank down and passed into, a state of complete uuconsciousness. I had! frequently scon people partially under tbe inflae|nce of sulphorio ether, bat had never seen any one completely so. This boy lay in a perfectly comatoee state— no movement whatever, except what the medioaliken call stertorous breathing. His eye3 were closed, and he'itaa to all appearance like a dead man. We be came greatly frightened, and sent for V physician • five miica away; The messen ger was gone two. hours. Whop-ths. physician came ho understood nothing about ths boy’s condition, having afcver seen anybody in that fir before. He thought he muetdo something, however, eo he sprinkled a little watpr. in the boy’s faet?^ end told us tbat there was no dinger—he would wake np after a while. The water had no effect. The boy lay there without moving during the entire night. Aoout daylight he moved hie aims Slightly, and soon afterward got np and, walked about, acting like an idiot, atcer sometime, however, his faculties werecomplotely regained end he was ail ngiit i.raio.
