The Encampment.
Four of our city military companies
proceeded to the Sand Hills on yester
day afternoon, in accordance with the
announcement in our paper on that
day.
The companies never presented a finer
appearance, and as they marched
through our city, with some fifteen
baggage wagons, containing their camp
equippage. munitions, d cetera , it only
required a slight stretch of the fancy to
imagine that we were gazing on a “cir
cumstance of glorious war." If any ev
idence were needed to convince the in
credulous that the hoys will enjoy them
selves, we present the following bill of
fare for the dinner of one of the squads
to-day, which contains some viands not
included in the bills of our first class
hotels :

The Richmond Ifuzzars engage in cav-
airy drill to-day, and many of our citi
■ zens have gone out to witness their ex-
St erciscs.
H Up to the hour we go to press wo
have been able to get only the report of
V the target exercises of the active mein-
of the Clinch Rifles, which took
this morning. The following is
“official report” of the averages :
H First best shot, Private I>. T. Castu:- 1
«,arY, average of three shots, 2 2-12 }
inches.
■ Second Dest shot, Corporal J. C. |
Moore, average of three shots, 3 23-24 j
inches.
Third best shot, Private H. S. Dor tic, j
average of three shots. 4 inches.
Fourth best shot, Sergeant J. D. Platt,
average of three shots, 4 1-12 inches.
Fifth best shot, Private E. J. Hatch- S
i:r, average of three shots 4 9-24 inches. ;
Sixth best shot, Private L. C. Dekino, j
average of three shots 4 17-24 inches.
Seventh best shot, H. L. Mealing,
average of tiirce shots 4 20-24 inches.
Private H. S. Dortic made the best j
single shot, knocking tire centre out.
Eighth. Secretary W. H. Byrd made
the worst, hitting the hoard three times.
His average was 111-4 inches; he is,
therefore, the winner ol tlie fast watch,
presented to the Clinch Hides by Dr.
Griffins, of Graball county.
Ninth. Private Bridges won the heir
loom, being the worst shot, averaging
]9 feet 2" 24 inches.
The Honorary members shoot to
morrow.
The encampment presents a very gay
and attractive appearance; and we learn
that a large number of ladies visited
the grounds last night, and received the
most gallant reception. The Brass Band
played several charming pieces, which
were highly appreciated.
Among the “special privileges” con
ferred on some ot the members of this
corps—Secretary \V. H. Byrd was eleva
ted to the distinction of Boot Black,
and Private Parkins, Tonsor General for
the Company.
In every respect, the encampment
promises to be a most delightful occa
sion. The weather is balmy and agree- j
able and the social intercourse of all J
the companies is oi the most friendly
and cordial character, hh<l we most:
heartily congratulate our soldier friends j
on combining with their annual excur- j
sion, featuresso well calculated to afford |
recreation to stimulate military emula- j
tion, and strengthen the cordial rela
tions which have existed between the
different companies.
We regret that it is impossible for us
to comply with the numerous invitations
to be present at the Encampment—but
we trust that our friends will see to it
that no rich incidents go down to obliv
ion unchronicled, for want of “a chiel
among them” to take notes, but will
each resolve themselves into “special re
porters,for the Evening Dispatch.
Lotteries.
J. A. LATimor announces his agency
for the sale of tickets for Swan & Co.,
in to-days’ paper. He says that tire
late newspaper war upon Lotteries, has
so stimulated the curiosity of the pub
lic about here, that he has determined
to open a separate office, to accommo
date them.
Gentlemen’s Gvocts,
Hermit is still proving himself the
same liberal benefactor to those who in
dulge in the luxuries of shirts, and
other male goods (if schools are male
and female why should not shirts and
Rich, be so also) by offering a large lot
of fresh goods at refreshing prices. Go
to Hersey’s for shirts, handkerchiefs,
collars, &c., &c.
The Sulf hlc Yesterday-
The verdict of the Jury of Inquest
over the body of David W. Davidson,
an Irish Isrealite whose death we notic
ed on yesterday, was, that he came to
his death from a gun in his own hands.
In accordance with their usage, the Is-,
realites of the city refused to bury him,
and the Irish Volunteers, of which he
was a member, took his body in charge,
and buried him with the usual military
exercises this morning. Rev. Mr. Rr
erson read the burial service.
It is the opinion of-some, that the de
ceased was killed from the accidental
discharge of the gun, and we confess
our inclination to believe such a theory
of the shocking affair, the correct one—
as we are bound to give the decased,un
der such circumstances, the benefit of
any reasonable doubt that his purpose
was that of self-destruction.
He was found sitting in a chair, witli
the gun lying between his feet, the muz-1
zle in his mouth, and his head!
blown to fragments. The briteh screw j
of the gun was out, but there is no evi I
dence that it was blown out by the dis- i
charge. His position was One that a j
person would naturally take in blowing j
into a gun as is often done, to see if it is
clear. Finding the barrel obstructed, j
nothing is more natural than that he
should raise the hammer of the gun—
possibly with his foot, which may have
slipped, and caused the fatal discharge.
We admit that there are other circum-j
staucce equally strong, to show that the
deed was intentional—such as the con
dition he was in—had health, out of
business, and without money, and un
der the influence of liquor—yet we give
the unfortunate man the benefit of a
presumption to the contrary, which we
confess ourself inclined to believe.
Attempt at Suicide,
A gentleman, who came down on the
Georgia train this morning, attempted
to cut his throat near the South I
Carolina Rail Road depot, about ten
o’clock. He was at the cars, evident
ly desirous to leave, but evincing evi-(
dences of insanity, was put in charge of!
Mr. Isaac Levy, until the Mayor could
he called.
Watching an opportunity, he made
several thrusts at his throat with a
■ small knife, hut Mr. Levy immediately
! seiied him, and prevented his purpose
of self-destruction.
He gives his name as S. C. Lane, and
appears to be connected with the house
of A. T. Lane & Co., 175 market street,
Philadelphia, whose cards and papers
he has about him. Our reporter left
[him at 12 o'clock, when lie was quiet,
! hut his mind was wandering, and he
seemed to imagine an effort was on foot
’to kill him, and give his flesh to the
. dogs. He is about twenty-five years of
| age. Tlie above firm have been tele
| graphed of his condition, and the
! Mayor will provide for him until they
j are heard from.
Revival In New York.
j New York, May 3, 1858. — Yesterday
{there were moving times in the reli
|gious world of this vicinity. On Satur
day there were movements enough ov
another kind, but scarcely of so solemn
la nature as on the Sabbath. In the
! ltev. Henry Ward Beecher's church,
where everything goes, if at all, in a
whirlpool of excitement, there were
one hundred and eighty-eight persons
became members yesterday. Os this
number, fifty-six were baptised by im
mersion, though the church is of the
Congregationalist orPresbyterian school.
The progress of the Pilgrim church has
been somewhat remarkable. It was
founded eleven years ago, with but
25 members, and it now counts one thou
sand three hundred and seventy-five.—
As the services of yesteiday made the
occasion an extra one, Mr. Beecher ven
tilated his opinions on his two favorite
topics of polities and slavery. He ar
gued that as his church increased so in
numbers, it was conclusive that reli
gion, pure and simple, should not be
preached exclusively, but that it should
lie mixed up occasionally with some
thing more worldly and exciting, so as
to make it attractive to sinners, especi
ally if they be of radical or fanatical
tendencies.
For it is an undeniable fact that the
two Churches which did the greatest
business during the revival excitement,
were those which approve of ministers
taking parts in the excited political
tests. Hr. Cheever's Church of the Pu
ritans shared with the Pilgrim Church
!of the Rev. Mr, Beecher, the choice
(fruits of the spiritual harvest.
(as it were, celebrated the success of their j
labors yesterday. Eacli took a new vow)
to labor in the same track, and with I
greater zeal, in their politico-religious j
! way. Dr. Cheever preached about no
; thing but slavery and the debate on
(Kansas in Congress. Meantime forty
i members of his Church, disapproving
■ Ibis course, are refused the usual letters
.of dismission. The pastor and his
(friends wish to punish them for their
j “recreancy to freedom (?)” and while
*: giving them a discharge wi 4i to give it
s a coloring of degredation. The conser
t votive secedcrs refuse to budge on these
t 1 offensive conditions.-- Charlelson Courier.

AUGUSTA DISPATCH OFFICE, )
May 6, 1868. J
REMARKS.—The past has been a dull week
;n all departments of wholesale trade. One
very considerable cause'of tb s depression has
been the stringent y in money matters, and the !
confusion attendant upon the resumption ofi i
specie payments by our Banks, while most of
the Banks of South Carolina remain in a state of
suspension. The result of this state of things
has not yet been fully developed, but our busi
ness men have to submit to a dscount of from 1
’ to 1# per cent on Carolina money, which com
prises a very large proportion of our circulating
medium.
Cotton—ln our last review, we reported the
sale of 3649 bales, for the week ending Thursday,
two o’clock, P. M., April 29, leaving the market
unsettled, at 12#c for Middling Fair. The un
settled condition of the market then noted has
continued through the present week, with but
little demand, at weakening prices ; and the
total sales ot the week only reach 918 bales, at
the following particulars: lat 9, lat io, 3at
iO '.i, 1 at 10#, 4 at 11, 292 at 11 #, 109 at 12, 99
at 12#, 84 at 12#, Cl at 12 5-16, 243 at 12#, 20
at 12# cents. The receipts for the same period
amount to about 2000 bales, and we learn that
large quantities are arriving by the Railroads
daily.
There is but little demand for Cotton, and
j while there is considerable for sale, there is no
I disposition to force it upon the market. We
j present the following quotations as representing
. the prices current at the close of our report:
I Inferior to Ordinary nominal
! “fe::;;
Middling Fair, 12#®l5#
j 12#
■ The decrease in receipts at all the ports, com
pared with the same dates last year is 17.000
! bales.
j Sales to-day 189 bales : 3at 9, lat 9#, 3at
j 11, 2 at 11#, 19 at 11#, 4 at 11#, 43 at 12, 64 at
| 12,*4, 30 at 12#, 14 at 12# cents. Receipts 324
bales. There is a moderate demand, but buy
ers will not meet the views of holders.
FROST—The opinion expressed in our last
that the late frost accounts were very m uch ex
aggerated, has been confirmed by accounts from
all sections of the country, and the uoprecedent
| ed prospect for the growing crop, is doubtless a
leading cause of the depression in prices.
Bacon.—The wholesale trade has been limited
during most of the present week, and there
is now a declining tendency. We quote hog
round 10 a 10 cents ; Shoulders 9c.; Hams i
10# a 11c.; Clear Sides 11 # a 11# cents.
I Flour.—This article is in but little request
heavy stocks have accumulated, and there is a
continued tendency to easier rates, and we quote
I Tennessee superfine $4.50 a $4.75. Extra fami
ly $5.50. City Mi'-ls superfine is still quoted at
$5.; Extra $5.75. ; Extra family $6.50.
1 Wheat—Dull. We hear of sales of small lots
of Red at 90 cents, sacks included. There is no
demand from abroad, and our Mills are only
! buying for immediate use.
Corn—This article continues in moderate re
| que.-t, in small lots, at 70 to 75 cents.
• Peas—There is a supply in market, and the
*1 article is dull at $1 to sl.lO.
Oats—Scarce and dull—worth about 45 cents.
Grain Bags—Our market is w’ell supplied at
the following quotations : 2 bush Osnaburg Bags.
; 17c. ; Shirting, 12#c. ; 49 lb. Flour Bags, B#c.;
k 98 lb. Flour Bags, 11# cents.
’ Potatoes—We notice a few lots of Tennessee
> eating Potatoes, which are offered at $1 per bush:
Northern, $2 per hush.
Butter.—-Good country butter will bring 20
cents. Goshen may be bad at 28 to 30 cents.
5 Groceries.—We have no changoto rote in
the leading articles ; Coffee continues firm at i
; H# to 12# for Rio.
Molasses—Moderate supply in market, and
prices are unchanged : 28 to 30c. for Cabas;
Syrup, 40c : New Orleans, 40.
Rice—-We quote 3#(5)6 cents.
Sait—This article is dull and unchanged.
: Coffee—The supply is equal to the demand
’ but owing to the light stocks in all the ports
prices are stiff. Rio is 11# to 12# ct for medium
to lair, 12# to 13c for choice.
Tropical Fruits—Scarce. Wo notice a few
Oranges in market at $5 per box. Apples $6 per
barrel.
Whiskey—Prices unchanged and good supply.
Poor grades are selling at 25 to 28 cents $ gal
better at 30 to 35 cents gal.
Hay—North River $1 to $1.25. Dull.

, Lard.—This article is still plenty, and in de
. raand, at 11 to 12# cents in bbis.; in cans 12 to
12# cents.
k Drugs and Medicines,—There is no more fa
. vorable market than Augusta for merchants and
. physicians to purchase anything in this line ol
. business to advantage. Stocks of Paints, Oils,
Glass, &c.,are ample and prices low.
. Iron—Our importing bouses are supplied with
their usual ample stocks, and we quote as fol
. lows: Swedes ordinary, s#(g)s#, extra s#®
j 6# ; Refined English 4(2)4#, common English
. 3# cent !.
Tin—We quote I. Cat 11, IX dt $12.75.

The Of/cers and Directors of this Institution experience much satisfaction in lay
ing before their fellow-citizens the foregoing statement, with a view to direct atten
tion to the great Importance of Insurance, and thereby protect themselves from
the Loss of property by Fire.
The Company has entered upon the third year of its existence, during which
period the Receipts have reached the large sum of eight hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars, and they have paid Losses of more than sir. hundred thousand dollars, which is
equal in respect to character of business to the very best and oldest offices in this
City.
While the Losses have been exceedingly heavy, they have been met with
promptitude in adjustment, and by the payment of claims, which has elicited the un
qualified approbation of tiiose who have been tile sufferers. This Company is
determined to maintain its character and credit by prompt payment of Loss to the In
sured, and this rule will be continued and strictly adhered to in all cases.
The FARMER'S & MECHANICS' INSURANCE COMPANY solicits Insurance on
Real Estate, floods, Nanufaeturiny MstaUishments, Agricultural Produce,
Merchandise and Household Furm/ure, at reduced rules,
to meet the exigenceies of the present times.
The Board of Directors are gentlemen of well known character and reputation,
fully understand the business of Fire Insurance, and have a full reliance on the
competency of the Officers who conduct the affairs of the Institution.
We append the names of a few extensive and influential Merchants of this City,
who patronize the Company by giving it a large amount of their Insurance, and
to whom are respectfully referred persons who may wish to Insure with this Com
pany.

Extract from the Report of the Agent of the Comptroller If the Stale of New York.
Hon. S. E. Church, Comptroller, 8,-c. . , T , .. ... ..
Devr Sir Agreeably to your request, 1 have examined, I believe critically
i) and fnßy the affairs, condition and assets of the Great Western Insurance and
Trust Company I have seen and inspected not only their Books, which are well
e kept but the Assets under the heads of Cash on Hand, Bills Receivable, and
Stock Notes, and feel perfectly safe iu reporting to you that the four items of
“Cash on hand and in the hands of Agents,” “Unsettled Premiums,” “Bills Re
ceivable,” and “Stock Notes,” amounting to $93,858, are good, and available to
the Company for that amount, or nearly that amount. I have taken some pami
to ascertain the value of the Stocks held by the Company, having visited the sev
eral Companies and conversed fully and freely with their respective officers.
The building belonging to the Company, on the corner of Walnut and r ourtlt
u streets, is a very fine free stone building, well built and admirably arranged ; it*
“ location is one of the best for business purposes in Philadelphia. I nave called
upon the gentleman who built it, and sold it to the Company, who informed me
l that it cost him over $70,000 cash. I think this property would be a good in
i’ The Real Estate Mortgages contained in the statement of 41 ‘® Compa “ y
good for the amount stated, and cover property worth at least fifty percent, mo e
than the amount for which they are mortgaged. , ~ .
From this statement it will be seen that this Company shonid reileive your
