SENATE.
Mr. Shdeil presented a petition iu favor of
Americans abroad being privileged to worship
and marry and bury their dead according to the
dictates of conscience.
Mr. Stuart presented a bill for the improve
ment of lake harbors. Referred to the commit
tee on commerce.
Mr. Foot introduced a bill for finishing the
breakwater at Lake Champlain, and argued that
but $lB 000 was necessary tc finish what the
Government had begun; and that as Lake
Champlain lies between New York and Ver
mont, and extends into Canada, it had a politi
cal as weii as commercial importance. That the
constitutional objections urged against other bills
rdo not apply to this; and that in the event of a
war it would be indispensably necessary that the
works should be completed. Referred to the
committee on commerce.
Mr. Sumner offered a resolution that the com
mittee on foreign affairs be directed to consider
the expediency of tendering the meditation of
the United States to the governments of Great
Britain, France and Turkey, on the one side, and
of Russia on the other, in the hope of withdraw
ing the existing contioversy between them from
the destructive umpirage ol war, so that the
blessings of peace may be again secured to the
people ol these nations, and also to the general
commerce of the world.
Mr. Rusk.—Let it lie over.
Mr. blideli moved that the committee on com
merce be instructed to see what legislation is

passed.
Mr. Dawson presented from the Governor of
Georgia a joint resolution of the Legislature of
that State lor the establishment of a Navy Yard

Mr. Brodbead called up the bill to establish a
court for the investigation of claims.
Mr. hoped that something would be done
to relieve Congress in this matter, and promptly
settle claims and prevent frauds. He was not
particular how this was effected, but considered
it indispensable that it should be done.
Mr. Weller moved to strike out the word
court, ’ and insert *• board of commissioners,”
because Judges, irom the natufeot their appoint
ment, are permanent but commissioners remove
able.
Mr. Brown opposed the bill mainlylon the
ground of constitutional objections and the pay- •
ment of the expenses of such a court.

i‘ Mr. Weller replied insupportof bis amend
ment.
Mr. Clayton favored the bill, and urged the
necessity of having the primary examination of
the claims so as to save the time of labor and
ron.usioq which ensues from the present course.
Mr. Brown reiterated his obj j ctions aud said
the court would cost more to suitors than a
board of commissioners or the present mode of
settling the claims.
Mr. Hunter denied this, and spoke ol the large
sums hitherto paid by claimants in order to got
their claims adjusted.
- r ' ase tribunal proposed was not
* court, but merely a board similar to masters in
chancery, to report cases. The appointments
should be for a term of The discussion
'T® 8 general judicial tenure, not relevant to
this mil; but he was in favor of electing the
judges of the federal courts for limited terms.
Mr. Butler was in favor of the tribunal, court
or board, particularly as a check against claim
agents. He eulogized the South Carolina courts
and chief Justice Ruffiu’s decisions.
Mg Stuart spoke against the amendment of
Mr. Y\ eller, and Mr. Douglas endorsed his senti
ments, and said that nothing short of a tribunal
with the dignity of an United States court could
command his vote.
Mr. Weller’s amendment was then defeated—
yeas IG, nays 24, and the bill was passed.
Mr. Jones, ol Tennessee, submitted a resolu
tion asking the Postmaster General to infoim
the Senate whether a contract has been made for

islature of Rhode Island in referrence to pen

Mr. May from the committee on the judieary, I
a bill organizing the courts in the Dis
tfcrict of Columbia, and reforming and improving ■
the pws thereof. He showed how cumbrous,
1 ancient, expensive, slow and inefficient the pres- 1
ent system is, and explained the bill, which pro
poses to abolish all the existing courts in the
District of Columbia, and institute others better
suited to an enlightened age.
A Mr’ Elliot, of Massachusetts, replied, defend
ing the Circuit Court, and denying the power of

sion for the preservation of life and health aboard
emigrant ships was re-cotnmitted to a select
committee on the subject.
Tbe consideration of the pension appropriation
bill was resumed.
Mr. Fessenden moved an amendment, the ef
fect of which is to place the widows of officers
ot the navy on the same footing as the widows
of the officers of the army.
Messrs. Hunter, Stewart and Toombs opposed
it on the ground that it was germane to the bill,
and had not been examined by the committee.
| Messrs. Fessenden, Chase, Brown and Weller,
advocated it as a measure just in itself, and which
ought not to be defeated by technical points of
order, which were often disregarded.
The amendment was finally defeated, and the
bill was passed.
Mr. Brodbead, from t.he select committee to
which was referred yesterday the bill to estab
lish a board of commissioners of claims reported

of law was then taken up.%
Mr. Adams advocated its passage.

Erie, Sec. 21.— Rai/roal Excursion of the Phil
adelphia City Councils. —The Philadelphia City
Councils arrived here last night, quite unexpected
by our citizens, who bad sent a committee to
meet the excursionists at Buffalo. The excur
sionists, however, passed through Buffalo, with
out stopping, owing to a mistake in tbe arrange
ments. The citizens here threw open their
, dwellings and gave a cordial welcome to the
strangers, who were received by Mayor King.
A public dinner will be given this afternoon to
the guests at Brown’s Hotel, and a grand recep
tion ball takes place this evening. The Phila
delphians will return home, via Cleveland and
Pittsburg, to-morrow.
New York, Dec. 21. Weather Items.— The
weather is moderating here, and to the eastward,
with a slight fall of snow. At St. Johnsburg,
Vermont, yesterday, the thermometer was 36
deg. below zero.
Salem, N. J., Dec. 21. —There has been quite
a heavy fall of snow here, but the weather is
now moderating.
Philadelphia, Dec. 21.—The weather is not
so cold as yesterday. We .had a slight fall of
snow this morning, but it is now clear.
Washington, Dec. 21.—-The weather is cold
but variable. The thermometer is 36 deg. above
zero. We have tidings of a fall of snow west
of this city. Business here is dull.
Philadelphia, Dec. 21.— Important Decision.
Justice Black, of the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court, to-day gave a deciskn in several cases
from Alleghany county, where an alderman had
fined tavern keepers SSO for selling liquor on the
Sabbath. The defendants claimed the right oC
trial by jury, denying the jurisdiction ol the aider
man. The decision affirmed the judgment of the
magistrate, holding that such cases were not suits
at common law, but criminal proceedings under
a special act. All the other judges agreed with
th.s decision except Judge Lewis, who conten
ded against the whole principle of summary
conviction as an invasion of the right of tiial by
jury.
New York, Dec. 21— Marine Disasters—
| Loss of an Emigrant Ship. —The ship St. Patarick
is ashore at Barnegaf, New Jersey coast. She
has 400 passengers from Liverpool, all of whom
are saved and are coming to this city in lighters.
The vessel is insured for SSO OOtt, and has a full
cargo, the insurance on which is not known.
Later. —The St. Patrick went ashore at 6
o clock on Tuesday evening, two miles south ol
Barnegat, during foggy weather. It is thought
that the vessel will prove a total loss as she has
; bilged, with 7 feet of water in her hole. Most
of the passengers have arrived here in schooners.
Cape Island, N. J., Dec. 21.— The schr. Isa
bel went ashore this morning opposite Congress
! Half, and will probably be lost. The crew clung
to the rigging till day light, when they were re
scued by citizens who went to their relief in a
whaleboat.
Another Defaulter.— The late collector of
taxes in Concord, N. H., is supposed to be a de
faulter, to the amount of $2,000 or $3,000, but
his bond, which was signed by some of his po
litical friends, has been either lost, mislaid, or
purloined} and cannot now be found.
Pork. —Comparatively few drovers have vis
ited our town the present season, and but a small
portion of the demand has beeu supplied. The
prica paid thus tar has been 7 cents nett. We
see no reason why so high a figure should prevail
as it is wort. but 4 cents in Nashville and oth
er portions of Tennessee. The Chattanooga
papers speak ot numerous droves passing through
that place on their way to the markets below.
Washington ( Ga .) Rep , 22 d inst.
Suit against a U. S. Marshal. —A Wiscon
sin paper states that ‘‘suits have been commenc
ed against Mr. S. V. R. Ableman, United States
Maishal of Wisconsin, and his surities, to recov
er the value of Joshua Glover, who was rescued
from the deputy’s custody at Milwaukee. The
plaintiff, Mr. Benj. S. Garland, of St. Louis,
claims the ownership of the fugitive.”
The Fire on Broadway, N. Y.
The great fire in Broadway, New York, on
Thursday morning, originated in the second story
of the City Assembly Rooms, under the ball
room, the heaters having ignited the woodwork.
The Express says:
On their arrival, the firemen were witnesses to
a scene of indescribable confusion. The Tailors 5
Protective Union had a ball there, during the
night, for the benefit of their funds, and it had not
yet broken when the fire broke out. The
flames fiist burst out of the ceiling in the north
west end of the ball room, nearest Howard street.
At any rate, the moment it was found that the
building was on fire, there was a great stampede,
ladies and gentlemen rushed pell mell out of the
building, nearly all without taking time even to
get their outside coverings. Hence, when the
firemen reached the spot, they found numbers
standing on tbe street, many bewildered, and
seemingly not knowing what to make of the
matter, or to do with themselves, and nearly all
shivering and shaking with the intense cold,
having left their outside clothes behind in their
haste.
Owing to the exceeding lightness of the struc
ture, the flames spread with very great rapidity,
and by the time the firemen got fairly to work,
nearly the whole of the large building over which
tbe ball room extened was enveloped in flames.
To make matters woise, the firemen found them
selves much retarded in their efforts to get the
water on the building, by the great cold, which
bad frozen the hydrants, rendering it difficult to
get them open, and the water on.
The energies of the department were directed
to the preservation of the buildings adjoining on
both sides, to which the fire had already extend
ed. Here the strenuous exertions to subdue the
flames were partially successful, and the fire was
kept within the bounds of two adjoining buil
dings on the Grand street, and three on the
Howard street &ide, thus out of a block of four
teen buildings, which at 4 o’ciock stood all safe
and sound, leaving at seven o’clock, but five that
were uninjured, and five of the nine burned com
pletely to the ground.
Some idea may be gathered of the immense ra
pidity with which the flames extended from the
fact that in one hour from the time they were
first discovered the inside of the Assembly Buil
ding was almost completely gutted.
In a short time after this the front wall, which
extended over one hundred feet on Broadway,
embracing Nos. 442, 444,446, 448 and 450, gave
evidence of falling, when warning was given to
the few who, in a reckless endeavor to save what
they could, or desire to get at the flames more
conveniently, had ventured inside, but who now
hastened out of the way ot danger, the crowd in
part fell back, aud in a few moments the whole
mass fell with a terrible crash, doing no damage,
we believe, to either life or limb.
The rear of the building, extending about fifty
feet on Crosby street, seemed all this time in a
comparatively sound condition, and the flooring
just then was not yet completely burned away.
The firemen, or rather a fe w of the more daring,
were on the inside, keeping their post, notwith
standing the great danger, that they might do
their work with more efficiency. There they
were, some three or four, it is said, when the rear
wall, even more suddenly than the first one,
evinced a dispos tion to topple over, before the
warning voice of the already horror-stricken
spectators could be heeded and all of the few in
side get out.
The great mass gave way, falling in. as did
the first wall, upon the ruins, and burying in the
mass a young man named James Lawrence, a
member of Hose Company, No. 7. He was the
only person killed. Morris Oberright was taken
from the ruins with his hair and whiskers burnt
off, and his coat badly burned. His cap, which
was smashed, saved his life. Another fireman
escaped with his head cut. The City Assembly
Rooms were once known as the celebrated Tat
teisails. A few years ago the old horse market
was altered into stores and public rooms, and
many modern improvements made upon it. It
was owned by Mr. Jesse Miller, who, with a
sister, we learn, occupied the upper story. It
was insured for only $25,000. The light of the
fire was seen at Paterson, N. a distance of 20
miles.
The congregation of Rev. A. A. Wood, whose
church (Presbyterian, corner of Broome and Cen
tre streets) was burned down some months
since, were using the City Assembly Rooms as
a temporary place of worship, and have conse
quently been burned out twice within a few
months.

BY THE AMERICA.
The Liverpool Cotton Market.—The cir
cular of Messrs. Brown & Shipley, dated the Bth
inst., says that the news relative to the ratifica
tion of a treaty of alliance by Austria between
England arid France has caused the Cotton mar
ket to open buoyantly. It closed, however,
somewhat heavily, Fair qualities being fd. low
er, but other grades were unchanged in every re
spect. The sales during the week comprised
42,000 bales, of which exporters took 3000 and
speculators 1500, leaving 37,500 bales of all de
scriptions to the trade. Fair Orleans was quoted

The London Money market was unchanged.
Consols closed at at 93f —an advance of nearly

Stocks were a shade lower, but United States
Stocks had advanced.
Arrival of ( the Washington.
New York, Dec. 24 —lhe Bremen mail
steamship Washington arrived at her wharf in
this city to-day from Bremen, via Southampton,
having left the latter port on the 6th inst.
The ter.orof her advices has been anticipated
by the arrival of the America at Halifax. We
glean, however, the following items from our
files of English papers received by her. ;
A disposition is manifested to distrust Austria,
notwithstanding the treaty of alliance.
The losses of the allies during the great gale
are not so severe as at first reported. Fourteen
vessels,principally sailing transports,were wreck
ed near Sevastopol. Two French line of battle
ships and thirteen other vessels went ashore.—
Some got off, and others were burnt to prevent
them tailing into the hands of the Russians. The
Cossacks tiled on the crew, and the loss of life
was frightful.

Cincinnati Gazette of Tuesday says:
We were informed yesterday that Mrs. Har
rison was rather better than she has been for the
last week or two, but she is still very feeble, and
little hopes are entertained of her recovery.
Her son, Hon. J. Scott Harrison, arrived here on
Saturday.
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 27.
See first page of Daily, this morning.
Homicide.
A man named Jesse Daniels received a blow
on the head, from the hands of J. Attoway, at the
Factory, on Monday evening, which caused a se
vere fracture of the skull, and from the effect of
which he died in a short time. It seems that
there had been some difficulty previously, but
Daniels friends were leading him away, when
Attoway came behind him and struck the blow,
which terminated his life. Attoway succeeded in
making his escape in the cars on Monday eve
ning.
Augusta has hitherto enjoyed the reputation
of being a quiet and order-loving community ;
but we fear, if the present state of things cor.-
tiuues, she will soon lose all claims to these ti
tles. W ithin the last three months there have
been no less than four murders, three of which
have been perpetrated in the open streets.—
JThat this large number is in some measure ow
ing to the cowardly practice of carrying conceal
ed weapons, there can be no doubt, but is it not
also in some degree to be attributed to the inert
ness of the authorities in taking measures to ap
prehend and punish the offenders ? We publish
this morning an account of a murder committed
in the street on Sunday evening last, by a City
Constable ; and we are informed that a man who
a few weeks since killed a negro in the street
is now in a neighboring county, but that our city
authorities refuse to "send for him on the ground
of the expense!
Is it not almost ludicrous to think that human
life is of so little value that it may be at any time
sacrifices, with impunity, provided the murderer
has funds enough to convey him itwo or three
hundred miles from the scene of his crime ?
Verily, such justice is “blind” indeed.
Murder,
An Irishman, named Samuel Wilson, a painter
by trade, and but recently arrived in our city
from Charleston, was shot on Sunday evening
last by Wm. A. Archer and almost instantly killed
It appears that Archer had had some words with
the deceased in the Bar Room at the corner of
Centre and Broad streets, and struck Wilson with
a stick- 1 hey then left the house together and
when only a few feet from the door, Archer
drew his pistol and fired, the ball faking effect in
his left breast and passed through the chest, lodg
ing near the spine. Archer was pursued and ar
rested at his own house. He is now in jail and
will undergo an examination before a board of
Magistrates.
A Coronors inquest was held over the body
by Lewis Levy, Esq., and the jury returned the
following verdict: “That said Samuel Wilson
came to his death by a pistol wound in the left
side, fired by Wm. A. Archer.” #
As the matter will undergo judicial investi
gation, we forbear further comments.
Austria and the Allies.
The pledge of Austria to unite with England
and France, and to declare war against Russia,
will necessarily complicate European affairs and
enlarge the area of warlike operations. It would
have been better lor the ultimate interests of the
peopls of continental Europe, and the cause of
popular government, had Austria elected, in the
first instance, an alliance with Russia. It is to
be regretted, that she has finally chosen to unite
her destinies with the opponents ot her old ally,
who saved her from dismemberment in 1849.
Had she united with Russia, it.would have been
the obvious policy ot tlie .Allies to put arms in
the hands of the down-trodden Hungarians
and the oppressed nationalities of Italy. This
would at once have paralized the power of
Austfia, while it would have resulted in increas
ing the number of independent Slates in
the right ol self-government would have been
guaranteed by ail the physical and moral strength
of England and France. As it is, the alliance
with Austria to humble Russia necessarily com
prehends a guaranty to preserve that rotten dy
nasty—to keep down popular risings among the
nations she holds in subjection.
One go;d for the cause of justice and oppressed
humanity this trifle alliance may yet do. It may
re-establish the independence of Poland as an en
tering)wedge to pierce and cripple Russian power-
Though the motive will not, in the ieast degree
be the honorable one of'sympathy for the op
pressed and regard for liberty ind justice, yet
the result will be equally a triumph of right over
despotism.
Poland free, in due time gallant Hungary will
rise from her ashes, and vindicate her claim to
self-government and her ancient franchises.
In this connection we cannot forbear quoting
a few sentences from the great speech of Kossuth
on the 28th of November, in London, at the
Polish celebration. How impressive are his
words. -%
‘lf all the signs do not deceive us, ye men of
Poland may be the first called to batter a breach.
Many will stand by you, and others will fight
the common battle elsewhere. But, though ma
ny they be, nearest is nearest, and close by is
best. It is not in vain that Nature and Nature’s
God made Hungary a neighbor to Poland, and
Poland a ntighbor to Hungary. Our enemies
are the same and our cause is identical. The
much I feel, the little I may know, and all I
can—my heart, my brain, my arm, shall be with
Poland. Remember this. Yet, though I may
have learned something, the pledge oPmy frater
nal assistance is a small matter—and even that
little may be lost too soon. We are mortal men,
and I grow old and am careworn. However.’
that is not worth while speaking of. I may be’
nothing, but Hungary is much. And it is the
Genius of Hungary which assures you thro’ my
lips. Hungary will stand by reviving Poland, i
Remember my words.”
This is the assurance I had to give. Last
come the advice :
The present complications of Europe—a ne
cessary result of the crimes and errors of the past 1
—cannot be brought to a definite end without
Poland acting her part. Os two things, one : 1
either an insufficient arrangement, leaving the j
next future unsettled and the war to occur again, !
more dangerous to some, more frightfull to” all’
who are parties to it; or, the war carried on to i
a defidite issue. This is the only alternative.
In the first case, Poland may Jose time, but will
not have lost her cause. It is others who will
have tarule the imprudence of such an irresso- I
lution. And none more than England, be sure
of it; England, the great nation, which The
Times confesses to be "'tottering on the climax of
its ‘ greatness.’ ” If this war is not carried to a
happy definite issue the next time it recurs, I
apprehend it shall be England's turn to present
in her sate a second Poland in history—may be
even bere at home, who knows? But, certain
ly in and about America, and in India. Eng
land’s proud s’anding presents many a valnerable
point. So far, there is a difference between
Russia and the British Empire, not to the ad
vantage of the latter. England has many a vul
nerable poiut. Russia has but one—Poland.
Woe to those who, though at war with Russia,
still disregarded that fact.
* # # * * * #
Shift the theatre of the war; insist, perempto- )
rily, on Austria’s evacuating the Principalities
and siding with or against you; advise the Sul
tan to grant independence to the Roumains, and
aim them; enlist the Polish emigration, not in
Turkey, but here; mind where the weak point
of Russia is, a.nd strike there. And wherever a
Government is playing false to you, call on the i
nations it oppresses ; but remember that while
in matters of internal progress you may say:
By-and-by we shall come to that; in war every
thing depends on moments. Opportunity lost
is a campaign lost, may be even more. Poland
is your only remedy, even to-day; but how much
surer and easier would it have been six months
ago. .
Boots and Shoes.
We called in yesterdify at the Boot and Shce
Store of Mr. R. Carroll, on Broad street, nearly
opposite the United States Hotel, and found a
large and well selected stock of Boots, Ladies and
Children’s Shoes and Brogans. Those in want
of a good article, we would advise to give him a
call. vmL
Inhalation of Medical Vapors.
We would eall'the attention of invalids to the
advertisement of Dr. Crane in this day's paper,
who will remain in this city a few days and may
be consulted at the Augusta Hotel. To judge
by the notices we have seen in many of our ex
change papers, and the highly icomplimentary
tone of numerous letters submitted to us, we
should say that the Doctor is doing a successful
business, and giving not only satisfaction, but
reliel to his numerous patients.
Burglary.
Our citizens cannot be too careful in securing
their stores and residences, as there is no doubt
our city is infested by a gang of rogues. The
Tailoring estrblishment of Mr. J. Van Winkle,
next door to the United States Hotel, was bro
ken open on Saturday night, and some Clothing
stolen. The amount has not been, as yet, ascer
tained. From appearances next morning, the
rogues must have left in a hurry.
Adams & Co’s. Express.
By reference to another column it will be per
ceived, that Adams & Co., have established an
office in this city for the transaction of their
business. Ramified as their connections are with
every portion of the Union, from Main to Cali
fornia, this Company have immense facilities
for serving the public. For packages too large
for the mail, and requiring a speed beyond the
ordinary freight facilities of Railroad and steam
boat, these Express Companies are great con
veniences, as they secure greater despatch to the
business community.
We would suggest, however, to our readers the
propriety of inquiring, in all cases of small par
cels, in advance, the relative expense of sending
by mail and by Express; for we have seen state
ments of charges by express exceeding greatly
what it would ha>e cost to semi the same articles
by mail.
New York Money Market.
The Journal of Commerce of the 23d inst, no
ticing the money market of that city, says—
“ The money market maintains the slight im
provement last noticed, and although there is
some anxiety in regard to the payments rnatur
ing during the next few days,"we think the
trouble is borrowed , and the money will not be
wanting. A large amount of funds now accu
mulated for the payment of interest and divi
dends will be unlocked, and this will go into
the banks.
Large payments at the banks always imply
large receipts by the banks, and, except for debts
due out ot the city, no matter how large the
payments are, if those who have the ability will
not try to borrow the money too long in advance.
Even where borrowers do this, the sum thus
prepared swells the aggregate deposit, so that the
amount offering lor short loan is not diminished.
‘'There is as yet no demand lor Foreign Ex
change, and sellers manifest some anxiety to
dispose of their bills. There must be more ac
tivity before the sailing of the steamer. At pre
sent prime sterling bills could not be sold to any
extent at 108.”
! Death of a Distinguished Ladv. —Mrs.
, Ann Bayard, ol Deleware, died in Philadelphia
■ on the 10th inst., in the 771 h year of her age.
i Her father, Richard Bassett, was the fk*t United
i States Senator elected by the State of Deleware.
i Her husband, Jas. A. Bayard represented Deie
! ware in both Houses of Congress; in 1801 he
i' was appointed Minister to France; in 1814 he
• was one of the commissioners who negotiated
i the treaty ol Ghent, and in 1815 was appointed
i Minister to Russia. He died the same year,
i Richard Bayard, son of the deceased Mrs. Bay
! ard, was formerly Charge to Belgium; and Jas.
A. Bayard, another son, is at present a U. S.
Senator from Deleware.
Ship Building in New York is about at an end
1 for the season. According to the Journal o f
’ Commerce, the tonnage launched during the year
. amounts to 80,130 tons, representing 88 vessels
of all descriptions, and embracing 26 full sized
ships, and 4 steamships. Estimating the cost of
the new tonnage at $65 per ton, which is a low
average, there have been absorbed by it not less
than $5,200,000. The tonnage launched last
year amounted to only 46,479 tons, so that the
increase this year is very large. The amount
of tonnage on the stocks now is # only 17,423.
against 58,749 last year. As soon as the ton
nage on the stocks is completed, building will be
almost wholly suspended for the present.
Salt.—A late arrival at Charleston from Nas
sau brings news that there is no Salt at Turks
Islands, and that the demand for it at Inaugua
i probably exceeds the quantity on hand. Fifteen
vessels required cargoes, of which six had been
loaded, the remaining nine were at Inaugua on
the 27th ult. There is no Salt at any of the other
islands.
There is still a deplorable deficiency of laboi
i ers and much loss of Salt has been the conse
quence. It is estimated that about one-third of
| the whole quantity raked was destroyed by the
! rains at the close of the season.
About 250,000 bushels have been raked at the
I whole of the proprietors. During the season, the
Inaugua Salt Pond Company alone would have
given employment to one hundred operatives, in
stead of which they could not obtain the services
, of two-fifths of that number.
The quotations at Matthew Town on the27th
| ult., were as follow :
j “ Price of Salt 30 cents per bushel, with an
upward tendency—3s cents have . been refused
lor a cargo to be delivered in all December.”
Few are aware how frequently Publishers are
compelled to insert among their advertisements
! statements which they can neither sanction or
believe.
A pleasant exception to this disagreeable ne
cessity are the advertisements of Dr. J. C. Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral and Pills, which will be tound
in our columns. We have published for him be
fore, and always with the feeling that in so do
ing wein no wise lend ourselves to deceive or
mislead the public, for we have had indisputable
proof that his words are strictly true, with abun
dant reason to believe that his medicines will do !
all they promise, and all that can be reasonably
expected Irom any medicine. HisCheiry Pec
toral is too well known in this community to
need any commendation from us, and his Pills
we are credibly informed are not inferior to his 1
Pectoral. —Providence Mirror , R /. *

COTTON.—During the past wo< k there has been
a fair demand for Cotton at last week’s prices, but j
the sales have been limited, most holders refusing j
to sell at present rates. The receipts are light for j
the season of the year, and most of that coming \
to hand is going .into store. The offering stock is!
light, and confined mostly to grades ranging from j
Middling downwards. Grades above Middling
are very scarce, and it is seldom a lot can be found
on our Factor’s beards. The sales during the
week reach about 2,000 bales, and would, no doubt,
have been larger, were it not for the low stage of
the |river at the present time, shippers finding it
difficult to get their gCotton to Seaboard mark
ets unless they pay heavy freights per Railroads.
We continue the quotations of last week, with the
remark that at them Planters are reluctant sellers:

GROCERIES.—As usual at this season of the
year, business has fallen off in the Grocery line.
The demand has'been confined principally to sup
plying small country orders, but few interior Mer
chants having visited the city. Wo havo but little
change to notice in prices.
COFFEE.—There is a fair stock on hand, and
it is selling from stores at prices ranging from 11£
to 12 cents according to quality and quantity.
CORN.—The stock is still light, but it is all-suffi
cient to moot the demand, which is confined to
home wants. We havo heard of no large sales
this week. Sack Corn is selling from stores at pr -
ess ranging from $1 to sl.lO, sacks included. Ear
Corn, by the wagon load, is soiling at 90 at 95 cts.
A largo lot of sack we do not think would bring
over 95 cents.
WHEAT—Is very scarce and in demand. A lot
of White would bring $1.75 a $2 00 per bushol; and
good Red is worth $1.50, delivered.
FLOUR.—The stock on hand is light, and prices
have an upward tendency. We quote Citv Mills
superfine at 10, and Extra Family at sll in bags,
and sl2 in bbls. Good brands of Country Flour
range at about the same prices.
BACON.—The market well supplied, and it is
dull of sale. Wo quote Shoulders at 8 a B£, aEd
Sides at 9, 9£ a 10—the latter price for a choi ;e ar
ticle of clear Tennessee in small lots. Hams are
selling at prices ranging from 12 to 14. There is
some Western meat in market that can be pur
chased at lower prices.
BEEF AND HOGS.—Boefisin limited demand
and the supply on hand good. We have heard of
no sales this wock. The same may be said of
Sheep. Hogs are in good demand, with a limited
supply on hand. Selling at 6to 7 cents.
LAUD.—We now quote 10 a 12 cents—the lat
ter price for a choice article in small packages.
FEATHERS,—The demand at the present time
is moderate, and sales are making at prices' ran
ging from 37 to 40 cents.
BAGGING.—The stock is light, and the de
mand fair. Gunny is selling from stores at 15£ a
16 cents.
ROPE.—Stock light, demand good. Selling at
ll£ a 12£ cents.
MOLASSES.—Tho stock of Cuba is light, and
holders aro asking higher prices. We quote Cuba
at 26 a 28, and New Orleans at 30 a 33c.
SUGARS.—There is but a moderate supply on
hand, although sufficient to meet the demand, and
some holders are asking higher prices. Our quota
tions will give a fair index of the market.
SALT-—This article is still scarce, but we have
to notice in prices. By the 500 to 1,000
saiks. sales have been made this week at $1.75 per
sack, cash. Retailing from Stores at $2. The de
mand is falling off.
DOMESTIC LIQUORS—Common Whisky isvery
scarce, and holders are stiff in their asking prices.
Retailing from Stores by the bbl. at 65 cents.
HIDES.—Thore is a good demand for well cured
hides, and prices range from 7 to 10 cents, accord
ing to quality, with an upward tendency.
NAILS.—Fair stock on hand. Prices range
from 5£ to s|c.
STOCKS.—The only transaction that has come
to our knowledge this woek, was the sale of sixty
shares Union Bank at sllO per share.
EXCHANGE.—We have no change to notice in
rates. Our Banks continuo to check on New York
and other Northern cities at sight at £ per ct. prem.
FREIGHTS.—The River continues low and none
but light draft steamers can reach the wharves.
Those pf heavy draft have to lighten about ten
miles below the city. Thore is more Cotton offer
ing for Savannah and Charleston, than for some
months previous. We continue to quote to Savan
nah 50 cts. per bale; to Charleston per Railroad sl.
SAVANNAH, Dec. 23. Cotton. —The market
continues quiet without change. The sales to-day
are small, amounting to 419 bales, viz . 7 at 61; 71
