Death of Mrs. Hamilton.
Mrs. Elizabeth Hamilton, the venerable and
universally respected relict of Alexander Hamil
ton, clased her earthly career at her residence in
this city yesteiday morning, the 9th instant, at
lour o’clock. She was the second daughter of
the distinguished Gen. Philip S. Schuyler, of Al
bany. and was born on the 9th day of August,
1757. She was married to Alexander Hamilton,
then one of the aids ol Gen. Washington, with
the rank*of Lieutenant Colonel, on the 9th De
cember, 1780, there being not quite a year's dif
ference in their ages. They lived together in
the enjoyment of every blessing that could ren
der wedded life happy for twenty-four years, and
she survived her lamented and distinguished hus
band more than half a century. To estimate
her character properly, it is necessary to bear in
mind that of the individual who had selected bei
from the many who would have been proud ol
the distinction of his notice, as the companion ol
his life,-#and tDat character we find so beautiful
ly portrayed by a single touch o; the magic pen
cil of Mr. Webster, that we give it as exhibiting
v in a few words the judgment of one whose pow
er of discrimination was seldom surpassed. Af
ter speaking of Colonel Hamilton as a hero of the
Revolution, a jurist, and statesman, Mr. W. said
‘•Hamilton was placed at the head ol the Irea
surv Department. He carried on the Govern
ment finances; he smote the rock of national re
“ rces afU i flourishing streams ol revenue pour
forth He touched the dead corpse ol public
credit, and it sprang into life. The fabled work j
of Minerva from the brain of Jove was not more
perfect than the financial system of the United I
Stated which sprung from the conception of j
Alexander Hamilton.” It was this great man j
who sought aud won Elizabeth Schuyler, and j
that lact is enough to*show her worth. But, had j
she been no more than aa ordinarily endowed
woman, it would have been impossible to have
passed twenty-four years of happy intercourse i
with such a husband without having her mind i
richly stored from the treasures of his mighty in- I
tellect; and those who knew her even in her de
clining years will be ready to testify that she
was a rare example of the wisdom taught hy ob
servant experience, and a bright example of all
womanly graces. Her benevolence was most
exemplary, and one of the finest manifestations
of it was her bas it, to within a few months of
her death, of making occasional visits to all the
schools of the city, and she never did so without
imparting some moral lesson, which showed
how deep an iuterest she took in the welfare of
the country which her husband had contributed
so largely to make free and independent. Mrs.
Hamilton lived to the very advanced age of nine
ty-seven years and three months, and died with
out a struggle, in full communion with the Epis
copal Church, and surrounded by her surviving
children. °
By a coincidence, which we give to our read
ers the benefit, we met with yesterday in an ex
change paper, toon after we received notice of
the death of the venerable lady whose decease is
announced above,the annexed letter which she
received Irom Col. Hamilton just before her mar- ;
riage. Relating to one of the most touching in
cidents in our Revolutionary history, it will be !
read at this moment with peculiar interest.—
Not only does it show that Hamilton dissented
from the stern decree of the Council of Judges as
to the mode ol Andre’s fate, but it sheds a strong :
light on the nobleness of his heart:
Mr. Hamilton to Miss Schuyler.

* * * # Poor Andre suffers to-day.—
Every thing that is amiable in virtue, in fortitude,
in delicate sentiment and accomplished manners,
plead for Jpm ; but hard-hearted policy calls for
a sacrifice. He must die. I send you my ac
count of Arnold’s affair; and to justify mystflf
to your sentiments, I must inform you that I
urged a compliance with Andre’s request to be
shot, and I do not think it would have had ill-ef
fect. But some people are only sensible to mo
tives of policy, and sometimes, from a narrow
disposition, mistake it.
When Ar.dre’s tale comes to be told, and pre
sent resentment is over, the refusing him the
privilege of choosing the manner of his death
will be branded with too much obstinacy.
It was proposed to me to suggest to him the
idea of an exchange lor Arnold ; but I knew I
should have forfeited his esteem by doing it, and
therefore declined it. As a man of honor he
could not but reject it; and I would not lor the
world have proposed to him a thing which must
hive placed me in the unamiable light of sup
posing him capable of meanness, or of not feeling
myself the impropriety of the measure. I con
fess to you I had the weakness to value the es
teem of a dying man, because I reverenced his
merit. A. Hamilton.
Planting Trees— By L. Wyman, Jr.
As the season for transplanting trees will soon
demand our attention, a few practical hints de
rived from experiment may not be without pro
fit to the interested. The inquiry is frequently
made by our friends, “How do you transplant a
fruit tree to make it live ? I cannot make half
my fruit trees live.”
In thelfirst place, it is very easy to make a
tree ljye if you understand how. Many persons
imagine that there is but little difference between
the planting of a tree and a stake ; until they
are taught by two or three lessons of disappoint
ment. A case in point will show that knowl
edge*is indispensable to success.
A farmer not more than thirty miles frofii the
city of Boston, had an orchard of trees to plant,
aud wishing to have them live and thrive, em
ployed or engaged the services of an experienced
gardener to transplant his trees. The gardner
prepared the soil, and set out on the first day ten
trees only ; (the trees were of lare size for nur
sery trees.) out of one hundred and twenty-five,
which were to be planted. The owner of the
trees was sadly disappointed, at nightfall in find
ing “ but ten trees out of the lot , set out and more
so at the price charged by the gardner (two
dollars and fifty cents per day) for his work.
Accordingly he discharged him, and concluded
to set out the trees hiqrtself. Now mark the re
su't.
Ten years afterwards, the same man was at
work in the same orchard, when a gentleman
riding past, stopped to examine the trees. After
attentively looking at them for a few moments,
he asked the owner why he did not plant t e
whole orchard at the time he planted this row
ol large and thrifty, full-bearing trees near the
wail, which were large and vigorous, while the
others were small and spindling : observing,“had
3 T on planted your whole orchard at that time,
you would have been much benefitted thereby.”
“These trees,” said the owner, -‘were all planted
at the same time ; but I employed a competent
gardener to plant out the ten you admire, while
the rest were put out by myself, because I
thought he was too slow, and charged too much;
but if I had given him his price—yes, even
doubled it, for ten days, I should have been
greatly the gainer ; for, of these ten trees, any
one ol them would have more than repaid the
whole expense.” The stranger smiled as he
observed, "I am the gardener who set out these
trees for you : and I thought you would learn,
sooner or later, that it required more knowledge
to set out an apple tree, and to have it grow,
and bear well, than it did to plant a post; or, in
other words, that whatever is worth doing at all,
is worth doing well.”
To set out, or transplant a fruit tree with the
expectation of having the same live and thrive,
! requires only a little care and a little knowledge;
I but that little constitutes the whole matter, and
j is all important.
The following method has been successfully
| pursued by myself lor sjme considerable length
of time and, 1 think, can be adhered to with a
good degree of confidence, as to a favorable re
sult.
; First, the hole for a moderate sized tree,should
| made of from thiee to five feet in diameter,
; and ol sufficient depth so receive all the roots
| and rootlets, without cramping or bending the
| tame; giving them, as nearly as possible,°their
| original position and inclination. It is better to
! deprive the tree of a portion ol its roots, than
;to cramp or bend them. Place the tree in the
' same position in the hole that it occupied in the
i nursery, but not too deep. Many in-experienc
-1 ed persons loose their trees from 100 dqip set
i ting , and do not know the true reason. A tree
should be set no deeper than when in its origi
nal position in the-nursery. If any of the toots
are bruised or broken, saw or cut them off'
smoothly with a sharp knife; balancing the tops
by removing the largest shoots.
Use good food compost as a manure in setting
out and fill in the finely pulverized mould close
ly about the roots. To make sure that there are
no hollows around the roots, it is best to use the
hand to introduce the fine earth around the small
fibrous roots gently shaking the tree, until it be
comes quite firm ol itself. Any neglect at this
stage of transplanting is an error, which will be
sure to be seen in the after growth ofitbe tree.
As a general thing, I have not used water in
transplanting trees, and do not recommend its
use, except when setting out quite a large tree*
then I use water—say one paiful, when°the tree
is partly set out, or the hole a little more than
half filled up with earth. I wait until the wa
ter has dried in or become absorbed, before fill.
! ingup; but never make a “ mud pudding,” by
throwing in the earth immediately after the wa
j ter. In small size trees, I prefer muck, litter,
sedge, as a letainer of moisture instead of wa
ter. I have found, by experience, that too fre
quent watering applied to the surface tends to
harden the earth, aud proves injurious to the tree.
In frostly locations, it you fear a lifting of the
tree, a small mound raised in the fall around the
stem of the tree will remedy this evil. Re
member to remove this earth in the spring.
’ . In very wet, black soil such as lands border
ing upon meadows, where there may be annual
overflows ot water, a qantity of stones placed
upon the bottom of the boles before setting the
trees will be beneficial, aud often of much con
sequence to the future thrift of the tree.
in very gravelly or rocky soil, it is best to’di*
oitt—say one or two cart loads df the earth and
remove it; filling its place with rich garden
mould ; and our word for it, you will be°much
benefitted thereby. True, there is some labor
attending this operation ; but you are planting a
tree, perhaps, for futu e gnerations, the fruit of
which you may never taste; but they who come
after you will bless the labors of your hands,
while they regale themselves with the fruit of !
your industry.
By attending to the above general hints, you
cau ensure to yourself not only a pleasant shade
tree, but a profitable bearer; and if so, you will
be of your mind (so far as fruit trees are concern
ed,) that when the trees is transplanted well.
“ it is done, if well done;” it not. why you will
soon find it out.— The Soil of the South.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOV. 15.
The New York Elections.
There is one feature in the Gubernatorial elec
tion in the Empire State, which teaches factious
Democrats a salutary lesson. This is the meagre;
vote received by Greene C. Bronson, the “Hard”
can idate. After all the calumnies and abuse,
by himself and friends, industriously put forth
against the President, they have succeeded in
convincing but a small portiou of the people that
theirs was a meritorious cause, and worthy the
countenance of honest men. In fact, the num
ber of those who voted for Bronson, who be
lieve the President deserving the denunciations
which that clique have poured out upon him,
must be smali indeed. The opposition to the
President was not based on ah honest convic
tion, that he was not sound upon the constitu
tional questions involving Southern rights. It
was not based on a suspicion, that the President
was either too tolerant of Fiee-soil principles,
or the advocates of them. But it was the off
spring of previous feuds among New York Dem
ocrats, in which each party hoped to enlist the
President, and monopolize for itself all his favor.
He wisely ignored ail distinctions between
“Hards” and “Softs” as creating peculiar claims
on his favor, and declined applying any other test
of orthodoxy than a frank and honest support of
the Democratic platform on the principles ol
which he was-elected.
This New York election is an effectual extin
guisher of these distinctions among Democrats in
that State, so far as the people are concerned^—
There will be private griels and heart-burnings
among chieis of cliques and factions; but the
body of the party will again become united in
action as they are homogeneous in principle.
The vote for Gov. Seymour, whether he is
elected or not, which is still in doubt, is under
all the peculiar and embarrassing excitements of
the canvass, an encouraging one for the future
of the Democratic party. Notwithstanding the
general success of the Fusionists and anti-Ne
braskaists, the Seward party are mortified at the
result. The New York Tribane is sorely disap
pointed, and speaks of the results as a disaster.
The Weather.
The long looked for, and long wished for, visit
of our old friend Jack Frost, occurred yesterday
morning. Like most of his visits, he did not
confine himsell to any particular part of the city,
but took a general round. Knowing his charac
ter and habits as well as we do, we should not
be surprised if he paid us another visit this morn
ing. He is, generally, a welcomed visitor on his
first or second appearance, particularly after such
a summer as we have passed through, but for the
benefit of ourselves and the poor, we hope from
this time until spring sets in, he will make his
visits few and far between. Money is scarce
and wood is high, ar/d without either, he is an
unwelcorned visitor at all times, save when his
I presence is required to put an end to a fatal or
prevailing epidemic.
Eagle &. Phoenix Hotel.
It will be seen by the card of the proprietor
that this well known establishment is again re
opened. Mr. Prescott and his worthy lady, is
noted for keeping a good table and attentive ser
vants.
All the Hotels in our city are now open, and
are dally filling up with customers. The Fair
Week will commence on the first Monday in
December, and visitors need be under no appre
hension that they cannot be accommodated, as
we have open and in opeiation eight hotels for
transient customers, Hind any number of Private
Boarding Houses.
Augusta Manufacturing Company.
We are requested to state, for the information
of absent operatives and others concerned,that the
Mills ol the Augusta Manufacturing Company
will be re-opened afid work resumed on Monday,
the 20th instant.
We are also requested to say, that operatives
desiring employment may have an opportunity
of securing permanent engagements by apply
ing at the Mills at any time during this month,
after next Monday.

Package Sale of Glassware.
We would call the attention to the extensive
package sale of Glassware advertised in this day’s
paper by T. M. Cater, to take place in Charles

I he New York Academy of Medicine, through
the liberality of a few of its members, offers a
prize of SIOO for the best essay on “The Nature
and Treatment of Cholera Infantum,” to be
presented duriog the ensuing year. The trial
for the prize is not restiicted to the fellows, but
is open to the profession throughout the country.
The Lor Jon cotrespondenfc of the Boston Post
states that an order in Couucii will shortly ap- j
pear, announcing the intensions of the British
government to institute a much stricter blockade
next year of the Russian ports, or at least to
adopt such measures as will prevent the produce
of Russia coming either directly or indirectly in
to the United Kingdom. It is certain that the
supplies of some articles, tallow for example,
have been as large this tear as though no block
ade had ever existed. How this has happened
is easily told. There was no measure adopted
to prevent the transport of Russian staples across
the Prussian frontiers, and every inducement
therefore existed for the commercial men in-the
north of Germany to employ their capital in the
trade. The exports of Russia are valued at about
$65,000,000 yearly, and though by no means the
whole, or even the greater part ot these cannot
be prevented from leaving the country, they can
nevertheless be forced into, such a circuitous
route, as will deprive the Russian merchants and
proprietors of nearly all their profits. Last year
it was thought inexpedient to adopt this course,
and accordingly English capitalists made their
usual advances for the purchase of produce in
the interior of Russia during the winter, to be
ready for shipment in the spring. The prohibi
tion of importations last year would have resul
ted in great loss to Londonmerchants, whereas
now the loss would fall entirely on Russian mer
chants.
A communication from Mr. Norris, the cele
brated locomotive engine builder appears in the
Philadelphia Ledger, relative to Mr. Phleger’s
improved locomotive engine for burning anthra
cite coal. Trial trips were made between
Gray's Ferry and the Susquehanna river, and in
making the round trip to the Susquehanpa and
back to Gray’s Ferry, 120 miles, the locomotive
only consiyxied 4,000 lbs. of coal, worth $lO. —
The same trip, with wood wfould have consumed
four cords, costing $24, a difference in favor ot
coal ol sl4 in a trip of 125 miles. Therefore, to
take 300 trips in a year, would be a saving of
$4,200 a year for each engine.
Reduction of Fare.— lt will be seen by an
advertisement in another column that the New
York and Savannah Steamship Company have
reduced the fare on their ships, and propose to
carry passengers to New York for S2O, in the
cabin, and $8 in the steerage. The splendid
ships of this line, (says the Savannah Republi
can) have always offered great inducements to
travelers in the way of safety and excellent tare,
and at the reduced rates we do not know what
more can be asked lor to enable them to secure
a large amount of travel.
The Vintage in France.
We learn from the Boston Courier that an ar
ticle published in a French paper in one of the
vine growing districts, represents the prospect ß
of the vintage as much more favorable than had
been anticipated. Although the quantity of
grapes grown were every where far short of the
ordinary supply, the quality in consequence of
the long continued fine weather with which the
season had closed, had been so much improved in
many districts as to compensate in a considera
ble degree for the deficiency in quantity. It was
at one time apprehended that the wine made
would not be sufficiently alcoholic, but this ap
prehension was removed by the effects ot a suc
cession of dry and warm days, so that the culti
vators who usually devoted their wine to the
purpose of distillation, were able to resort to the
manufacture of wine for drinking. Fortunately
for the success of this change of manufacture, uot
a drop of rain fell during the season ot vintage,
and in districts where the crop had been con
sidered almost entirely lost, it was anticipated at
the latest date, that from a quarter to a third of
the ordinary product would be realized This
favorable state of the weather it was also antici
pated would have the salutary effect of greatly
diminishing if not curing the disease of the vine
against another year
The Rights of Rail Road Passengers to
Seats.
The Marine Court of Ne:v York has rendered
an important decision in favor of right of rail
road conductors in ejecting passengers from seats
into which they had obtruded themselves. Two
men sued the Hudson Riv®r Railroad Comfatfy
for SSOO damage each for assault and Lise im
prisonment. The facts are, that they came on
the cars at Sing Sing, where they had drank
more liquor than was necessary to improve their
manners. The seats in the cars were all occu
pied, but a gentleman had left his seat to enjoy a
cigar in the baggage car, and this seat the plain
tiffs took possession of, and refused to give it up
when called upon, and when applied to by the
Conductor, used profane and obscene language
offensive to ladies. Upon this the Conductor,
with necessary assistance, ejected the parties
from their seats, and, to prevent tbeir violence,
confined them in a small room, until the train
arrived in the city. For this the action was
brought. The Court justified the action of the
Conductor and dismissed the suit. This decision
recognizes, for the first time by a Ccrvrt ol jus
tice, the right of a “through passenger’ 7 toffiis
seat.
(Jwmmenting on the above, the Baltimore
American says :
“It is really annoying to be suddenly dispos
sessed of a seat after having occupied it nearly
to your journey’s end. We have witnessed some
singular scenes in regard to seats, and it would
be an important invention it some plan could be
hit upon, which would obviate the difficulty. It
frequently happens that passengers leave a coat,
a bag, an umbrella, or some other article as a no
tice that the seat is occupied, and we have seen
them thrust aside with perfect indiiference.—
Ladies, though usually polite,' seldom take the
slightest notice of these warnings that a seat is
taken, and pounce into it with as much confi
dence as they would if the car were empty.—
We have seen this done more than once, arid a
famjly, or a party separated by the intrusion.”
Crime in Great Bri fian. — The Offences and
the Offenders. —The statistics of crime in Great
Britain lor 1853, have just appeared. The tables,
together with the remarks, embody much inter
esting information. The commitments and con
victions for the last five years were as follows:
1849 27.816 I 1853 26.057
1850 26,813
1851 .-27,960 Total.. 137,156
1852 27,510
During the year, eight persons were executf&.
All were males, and were convicted of murders
ot aggravated character. One for the murder
ing of aged couple, lor the purpose of plundering
their dwelling. One for the murder of an aged
tamale during the hour of divine service, and
plundering the rectory house in her charge; two
lor murder and robbery under circumstances pre
meditation ; two for the murder of their wives;
one for the murder, the only apparent motive Tor
which was revenge.
The continued increase in the proportion of
females was the subject of particular remark in
the tables for the year 1852. The increase has
been usually large in 1853 the proportion in that
year having risen from 25-7 to 29-5 females to
100 males; while twenty years since it was on
ly 18-8 females to the 100 males. Indeed, the
decrease of 1-2 per cent, in the commitments in
in 1853 stands thus if shown with respect to the
sexes of those committed: males decrease 4-6
per cent; females increase 9-8 per cent.
i Rain.—On Saturday night a steady rain set in
about 8 o’clock, and ouJ streets were soo flood
! ed bv copious showers, which con'inued with
slight intermissions until last night, the clouds
still portending that more would follow befme j
this morning. The quantity that fell up to 7 |
A. M. yesterday measured 1 ir.ch and 363 thous- I
| andths ; and from 9 A. M. to 9 P. M. 694 thous- j
| andths—making for the 25 hours, two inches
and fifty seven thousandths, rain guage.— Savan- !

i New Locomotive.—There was landed yes
| terday on the Eastern wharf, from the schr. J.
jS. Waring,an elegant and powerful Locomotive,
! for the Macon & Western Railroad. The ma
! chine is from the shop of Messrs. Rogers, Ketch-
I urn & Grosvenor of New York, and is named
| "Edward Padel dftl,’ atter our much respected
fellow.citizen ; and if it should become as dis
tinguished among its fellows for power and speed
as the man is for energy and force of character,
it will be a source of profit to its owners find
much satisfaction to every one who may be in
any manner connected with it.— lb.
We understand that the E. T. & Va. Railroad
Company, have contracted with Maxwell,

Fire—Last evening about seven o’clock, a
one story wooden building occupied by a colored
cooper, and situated near the Rice Vlill of R. T.
Chisolm, Esq., and the property of that gentle
man, was destoyed by fire. The loss is about
S3OO, and the amount is supposed to be insured.
There was no fire place in the building. The
fire, however, is thought to have been accidental.

A New Feature in Political Canvassing—
A Declaration of Independence.
An interesting feature (to us, of the press, at
least) of the late veryranimated conte,t for the
mayoralty, and other officers in New York city,
is that the claims of the different candidates were
advocated by paid advertisements inserted in
the different papers. Wood, the Democratic
candidate for Mayor, (or his friends) hired tor
.several weeks the use of one whole column of
the Sun, the very paper against whose editor, a
few days before the election, Wood instituted a
prosecution lor libel. This hired column was
daily filled with arguments in favor of Wood—
while the editor was exerting himself to the ut
most to accomplish Wood’s defeat. Ocher jour
nals contained in the same issue, long advertise
ments setting toith the cl ims ot each of a half
dozen contesting aspirants.
And why not ? Why should not candidates for
offices of profit, who are to enjoy the emoluments
ot those offices, pay for the instiumentalities by
which their success is secured ? if tbe chief ol
these instrumentalities be the columns of the
press, why should these gentlemen expect to ob
tain the use of those calumns gratis { No com
munication goes into type save at the cost of the i
editor oi proprietor of the journal in which it;
appears. He has to pay his printers for “setting
it up” : why should not this his outlay be re- |
funded by those whose interests it is intended to
promote? The paper oa which it is punted is j
likewise a heavy charge to him: why should j
not those who are benefited bear that charge 7
But suppose the friends of the candidates 1
whose psotitsand honors are at stake, instead of j
advocating his claims by communications, ex- j
pect them to be urged in th editorial columns by |
the editor. Then ms condition is hut so much ;
the worse. He is required not only to purchase
paper for the gratuities service of others, and
pay printers for working tor others, hut in ad
dition to both he is expected to contribute his
own labor.
The question thus lightly touched, certainly j
involves points woithy the consideration ol the
editorial fraternity. We, at least, shall not I
shrink from their consideration, nor Irom the
conclusion to which it bring us. Henceforth,!
then we shall recognize no obligation to surren- i
der gratuitously the columns which coast us ;
money, and tbe printers whom we weekly pay, ;
to the use of men who desire office and its emol- j
umerits, whether in behalf of themselves or !
shall we recognize any party's |
claim upon us, as « matter of right , to advocate
the election of its candidates. We will leserve
the liberty of consulting our feelings: and the
support which we give through our editorials,
will be given, when given, as matter ol favor riot
as an obligation. Os course, we shall never feel
at iiberty to sacrifice our principles, nor will we
under any circumstances write for pay. What
we mean is, tbe friends of the candidate whose
election is desired? should puff him themselves
and pay for the publication of their puffs; and
it not willing to do it on these terms, let them
not blame us for declining the service. We shall
never violate our political faith at the polls, in
elections involving it, but we distinctly reserve
the right, which is conceded to all Gther classes
1 but editors, of remaining silent when silence
best accords with our feelings. Nor should any
candidate construe that silence into any disre
spect for him. We simply wish to assert for
ourself the liberty which is conceded to ail oth
ers, of giving utterance to our sentiments or not,
■ while munincipal or other elections are pending
—without subjecting ourselves to question or
reproach lor the course which may pursue.

Augusta Market, Nov. 15.
REMARKS.—Our city, at the present writing,
presents a lively appearance. The Stores aro all
open, and our Merchants busily engaged in open
ing and assorting their Goods, and supplying the
wants of Country Merchants and Pianters. We
were pleased to see a number of the former in
town yesterday, making their purchases ot Dry
Goods and Groceries, and from a conversation
with one or two of them, we infer that they, were
purchasing at satisfactory prices and on favorable
terms.
COTTON.—Our market cannot yet besaij to be
ta\}j open, but all things considered, there is a
fair amount of business doing. There is a good
demand for Cotton of the bighor grades, while the
lower quilitios are comparatively neglected. The
receipts aro still light for the season, but are daily
on the increase. Th,e sales during the past week
reach about 1,000 to 1,200 bales. Our’Warohouses
are now open, and our Warehousemen prepared
to reoeive all the Cotton sent them. Our advice
to Planters is to send forward their Cotton, and
have it on hand to take advantage of any change
in the market for the
ensuing week, we will have uumerous buyers in
the market prepared to operate.£JAt the present
time thore is but a limited quantity of Cotton of
fering, and the daily increase in receipts will add
to the selling stocks of our Merchants, and induce
more buyers to enter the market. We quote as
follows:
Storm Cotton 6$ a 7$
, Middling, 8 a 81-
Good Middling, 8] a—
Middling Fair, 8j a—
Fair, .none offering.
: GROCERIES.—fn the Grocery line there i? a
| fair business doing, and the Stocks of our merchants,
though not heavy, are good and well assorted.
i Several country merchants have paid our city a
visit this week and bought their supplies at satis
factory prices and on favorable terms. Country
orders are daily coining to hand, and with receiv
ing and selling goods, our Grocery merchants arc
kept busily-employed.
DRY GOODS.—Our market at present is well
supplied with dry Goods, particularly such as are
needed for interior trade, and those engaged in the
business are kept busy in supplying wholesale and
! retail wants.
HATS AND SHOES.—With both these articles
our market is well supplied, ar.u offers inducements
lo purchasers.
COFFEE.—There is a fair stock on hand, and
it is selling from scores at prices ranging from 11j
to 12 cents according to quality and quantity.
CORN —Fair supply on hand, and demand con
fined to home wants. Sales making in small lots
et $1 to sl.lO in sacks —a large lot wo do not think
would bring over 95 cents. Ear corn, by the
wagon load, is selling at prices ranging from 85 to
95 —principally at the latter.
WHEAT.—Little or none coming to market.
‘Jood White will bring $1.40 a 1.50 per bushel, and
Red $1.25.
FLOUR. —There isa good demand for Flour,
and Augusta Canal fs selling at S9J for superfine
,md 10j all for Extra Family per bbl. Country
Flour is worth 9 a f 101—some holders askißg 11
for extra Family.
BACON.—With this article the market is bourn
tifully supplied with both Tennessee and Western.
We quote Shoulders at 9: Sides at 19 a 11, and
lams at 121 a 1.3. There are some inferior lots of
:ch description in market, that can be purchased
it lower prices.
LARD.—Stock limited. Selling at prices rang
ing from 12 to 14 cents —the latter price for a
choice article in small packages.
FEATHERS —The demand at the present time
s moderate, and sales are making at prices ran
ging from 37 to 40 cents—some holders refuse to
ell at the latter pi tee.
BAGGING.—The stock is light, and the de- 1
nand fair. Gunny is selling from stores at 15j a
10 cents.
ROPE —Stock light, demand good. Selling at
Hi a 12i cents.
MOLASSES.—There is a fair stock of Molasses
on haod, and Cuba is selling at 25 a 2oc, and
S ew Orleans at 28 a 30c. per gallon.
SIT GARS.—There is but a moderate supply on
: a and, although sufficient to meet the demand, and
:orae holders are asking higner prices. Ourquota
! - ions will give a fair index of the market.
SALT.—Stock on hand light, and prices are
stiffening. Sales have been reported to us this
week of 1,500 sacks, at $1.50, cash; and 2,000
sacks at about $L.62, cash. Retailing from Stores
at $1.75 a SI.BO per sack.
STOCKS.—We have heard of no transactions in
the stock market.
EXCHANGE.—We have no change to notice in
rates. Our Banks continue to draw on New York
and other Northern citios at i per cent. prem.
FREIGHTS.—The river is still low, but in navi
gable order. Several steamers have landed their
cargoes at our wharves within the past week, and
should we be favored with a little more rain, we
think a fair boating river may bo depended on for
the remainder of the season. We quote to Savan
nah 50 cents per bale ; to Charleston, by Railroad,
sl.
CHARLESTON, Nov. 13- -Cotton. —The trans
actions to-day were confined to some 800 bales, at
