[From the Constitutionalist, 27 thinsl.]
Mb. Editor:— The proceedingsof the
City Council, of the 6th, and an article
inth e Evening Dispatch, of the 19th in
stant, in reference to an increased sup
ply of water to the city, indicates the
propriety of laying before the public, at
this time, some of the results of the in
vestigation in progress, under authority
of the City Council, which, I trust, will
be considered of-sufiicient importance
to occupy a place in your paper.
Last year a special committee was ap
pointed, by the City Council, for the
purpose of ascertaining what addition
could be made to the pregent supply of
water, and the best plan, and cost of
adequate water works. Under the di-
: rection of this committee, who appear
to have been under the impression that
; a large supply could easily he obtained
Irom Butler's creek, at its intersection
with the Georgia railroad, an examina
tion of the locality was commenced last
September, aud since that date various
other examinations have been made for
the same purpose.
Tt was ascertained that Butler'screek.
at its intersection with the railroad was
209:38 feet above the bottom of the
third level of the Augusta canal at Mar
i bury street. This last mentioned point
liaTing been selected for certain reasons
|as the datum of all the levels. The sur
face of the water of Wynnes’ millpond,
which is the first pond on the creek be
: low the railroad, was found to he
: 162:36 feet above the same poi»t. But
at the same time, ij was ascertained that
the “hillock” summit of the railroad
was 226:75 feetabove datum. The quan
tity of water furnished by the creek was
’ ascertained at Wynnes’, and was found
j to be small, compared with the quanti
i ty it was deemed desirable to obtain.—
! Thus it was made apparent that it would
] he impracticable to use the water of But
lers’ creek at the places mentioned, ns
the quantity of water obtained would
not justify the expense of the works
required to convey it over or through,
or around the hillock to the city. The
distance from Wynnes’ to Augusta by
the railroad is nearly eleven miles. The
“hillock" just mentioned is a ridge of
high land separating the valley of But
lers’ creek from the velley of Kocky
creek, and the summit alluded to is on
the Georgia Railroad, near Mrs. Camp
field's. This project being considered
practically a failure, attention was then
given to other points which it was sup
posed would present less difficulty.
Rowley's spring, at the head of the
branch supplying his mill pond, was
found to he 220:67 feet above the datum
and only 6:18 feet below the hillock
summit. This was found to be a bold
spring, hut the branch made by it is a
tributaiyto Butler’s creek, and forms
part of the supply to seven mill ponds
below it; and, although its elevation is
favorable to its use as a source to the
city, it was considered that the difficul
ty of negotiating for the privilege, and
the great expense of the works requir
ed for it, would place it beyond the
reach of the City Council.
Attention was then turned to the
creek at Belleville Factory, Spring Hill j
works, and Hall’s mill, with a view of j
ascertaining if there was any other place
on the creek which would furnish an i
1 adequate supply.and which was of sucli
I elevation as to pass over the ridge with
• out the «se of machinery. The ponij at
, Belleville Factory was found to be 90:79
; feet above datum, and the ridge between
it and Augusta 295:91 feet. The pond
; at the Spring Hill works was 58:38 feet
1 above datum, and the ridge 112:47 feet.
I The pond at Hall’s mill, near the Sa
vannah road, was 37:45 feet above <la
! turn and the ridge 55:40 feet. Thus, it
was found that the water of the creek
| from the places mentioned, could not
be carried to Augusta in a direct line by
! its own pressure, and would have to be
j forced to a considerable elevation by
machinery. Or, that it could he con
veyed down the valley of Butler’screek
to some passable depression in the ridge
whence it could be carried in a direct
line to tbecity. The small quantity of
water furnished by the creek, the antic
ipated difficulty of negotiating far the
use of it, and the great distance the
water would have to be carried,aud the
consequent heavy expense of the works
required, taken together, presented
such great obstacles as to render the
project of using the water of Butler's
creek from any point quite uncertain.
Under these circumstances, it was
deemed expedient to include several
other sources from which, it was thought
by some persons, a considerable supply
could be obtained. Levels were accord
ingly taken to the Boring mill pond, by
which it was found that the surface of
the water there was only 33,24 feet
above datum, and therefore, only 0:24
feet above the water in the first level of
the canal at McKlnuie street. Turpin's
mill pond, ou the same creek, when
full, is only 10:38 feet above datum. —
Levels were also taken across the river
to some of the sources of supply above
Hamburg, aud as one point determined
will give a general idea of the elevation,
it may be mentioned that Hammond's,
formerly Harper's, mill pond surface is
1:65 feet below the surface of the wa
ter in the first level of the canal, and
only 10:30 feet above Broad street at its
intersection with McKinnis street. In
seekidg to increase the present supply
from sources which could be easily con
nected with the present works at Turk
nett spring, it was found that some of
the head waters of Rocky creek cross
ing the Miliedgeville road could be
untie available, but the quantity would
be very small, compared with that
which it was deemed desirable to obtain
at the commencement of the surveys.
Ail the examinations, which include
several points not mentioned, as far as
completed, have been carefully made,
and have necessarily occupied much
time, it was considered best to pursue
this course, and as far as practicable, to
leave nothing for guess work in the
final determination of a matter which
is intended to promote the health, com
fort, convenience and security of the
citizens of Augusta and their property,
and for the accomplishment of which,
it is expected a heavy expenditure of
money will be required.
_ To complete the necessary investiga-
I tion there is still some work to be done,
- which the present dry season will favor,
| and it is expedient that early in October
all the information required to deter
mine the merits of the various projects
under consideration will bo obtained
aud acted upon by the committee aud
their engineers.
Among the projects entertained bv
i the committee, that of a supply from
the Augusta Canal will no doubt meet
with proper attention. That a perma
nent and sufficient supply can be had
from this source, seems to be certain;
but there appears to be an almost in
surmountable repugnance to the use of
this water for drinking and for culinary
purposes. It is to [be hoped that the
committee will authorise some exten
sive experiments to be made, with the
view of ascertaining how far it will be
practicable to use settling and filtering
reservoirs for it on a large scale.

AUGUSTA DISPATCH OFFTCF, ) I
Aug. 27, 1858. |
COTT N.—For tlie past week our market has
remained much in the same state as noticed the
week previous. The offering stock has been
light, and as there are but few buyers, transac
tions have bean limited at jhbout the quot'dions
of last Friday, which we continue. The receipts
of the new crop reach only about 13 to 15 ha os.
but buyers are not very anxious to pay new crop
prices, and most of it, so far as we are informed,
remains on hand unsold. During the next week
we expect to receive enough of the new crop to
give opening prices, which wc do not think will
exceed present quotations, according to quality •

GENERAL REMARKS.—Business in every do-,
jpartmentof trade is improving. The stocks of
jour merchants are daily increasing, and so is the!
demand. For the season of the year, the pros-|
poets arc good for a heavy Fall business, and by !
the middle of September our merchants will be
ready to meet any demand made ou them, at;
prices below those current in any city North or!
South of Augusta, ami on accommodating terms, j
WHEAT.—The receipts are on the increase,!
but most of that coming to hand is for milling;
purposes, purchased in the interior. There is a I
good export & home demand,which has strength-!
enod prices. There is, however, much irregu- j
larity in the views ot buyers and sellers, as to J
quality. We quote Red at 95 cts., sl, $1.05 and ]
sl.lO, according to quulity—it must be a supe- ]
rior lot to bring the latter price. For White, we ]
quote at $1.05, sl.lO, $1.15 and $1.20- -it must
he strictly prime to bring the latter figure.
FLOUR.—TIie demand continues good for both !

vancing prices. Wo quote Tennessee Super line
at $5.25(555.50 —the latter price in bbls.; and Ex

CORN.—The low prices which have recently
ruled in this market, has caused an export de
mand, which has re luced the stock on hand, j

and we believe they could not be filled at 05 cts.
Wo quo e 70 a 75 cents—the latter price by re
tail, sacks included.

OUR CHEAP QUAKER. CITY SEW
I‘>G MACHINES TRIUMPHANT.
WE are continually hearing, from
reliable sources that the Agents of some
high-priced Saving Machines are crying down
our reasonable priced ones as humbugs ; that
they cannot be made to work, and that parties!
who purchased ours have thrown them aside)
and boughi theirs in many cases. Now. we de- j
pounce each and all of these reports as false, I
from whatever source they come.
The truth is, theso opposition gentlemen very*
well know that they must kill off our low-priced
Machines, or the enormous profit made on tbeir c
will be exposed, much against their intent—j
hence t’leir laborious efforts to create the im
pression that our Machines arc worthless hum- i
bugs.
To satisfy the minds of those who may desire!
to purchase, but have not the opportunity of per
sonally examining and deciding upon its merits, j
we have taken occasion to call on a few who(
have our Machines in use, for tbeir true ami can- j
did opinion o’ them. They have readily and
cheerfully responded, and lor the frank and pub- j
lie expression of their sentiments, we tender
them our best thanks, and assure them and oth
ers, who may be influenced thereby, that our
efforts shall ever be given to merit and retain
the good opinion therein expressed.

fect satisfaction. We And them wed adapted to

priced Machine, and wc cheerfully recommend
all who arc in want of the article, to call and sea
yours before paying from SIOO to $l5O for a Ma
chine which, In our estimation, is no better than
these cheap household assistants. We hail this
Machine as a truly great invention, and the very
low price for which it is retailed,.will soon place

I>r. J. C. Ayek : I do not best
tate to say the best remedy I
have ever found for Coughs,
Hoarseness, Influenza, and the
* oncomitant symptoms of a Cold, JahgP
is your Cherry Pectoral Its eon
slant use in my practice and my
family for the last ten years has Owfl
shown it to possess superior vir-"'*
tues for the treatment of these
complaints. EBEN KNIGHT, M. D.
A. B. MORTLEV, Esq., of Utica, N. Y., writes:
“ I have used your Pectoral myself and in my
family ever since you invented it, and believe it |
the best medicine tor its purpose ever put out.
With a bad cold I should sooner pay twenty-fivei
I dollars for a bottle than do without it, or take
any other remedy.”
Croup, Whooping Coat'll, Inflncnzn.
SPRi.NGFiEr.n, Miss.. Feb’y 6, 1856.
Brother Atkr : I will cheerfully certify your
Pectoral is the best remedy we possess for the
cure of Whooping Cough, Croup , and the chest
diseases of children. We of your fraternity in
the South appreciate your skill, and commend
your medicine to our people.
HIRAM CONKLIN, M. P.
AMOS T.Xi:, Esq., Monterey, la.. writes, 3d of;
Jan., 1850 : “ I had a tedious Influenza, which
confined me in doors six weeks ; took many med-1
icincs without relief; finally tried your Pectorall
by the advice of our clergyman. The first dose |
relieved the soreness in my throat and lungs ; j
less than one-lmlf the bottle made me completely
well. Vour medicines are the chefcpeat as well
as the best we can buy, and we esteem you, j
Doctor, and your remedies, as the poor man’s
friend.” |

Sir : Your Cherry Pectoral is performing mar
vellous cures in this section. It lias relieved
several from alarming symptoms of Consump
t'on, and is now curing a mau who has labored
under an alfection ol the lungs for the last forty
years. HENRY L. PARKS, Merchant.
A. A. RAMSEY, M. D.. Albion, MoxrobCo.,
lowa, writes, Sept. 6, 1855 : “ During my prac
tice ol many years I have found nothing equal to
your Cherry Pectoral for giving ease and relief!
to consumptive patients, or curing such as are
curable.”
We might add volumes of evidence, but the
mo-t convincing proof of the virtues of this rem
edy is found in its etrects upon trial. :
Consumption.
Probably no one remedy has ever been known
which cured so many and such dangerous cases!
as this. Some no human aid can reach : but j
even to those the Cherry Pectoral affords relief!
and comfort.
Astor Houck. N. Y. City, March 5, 1858.
Doctor Ayer, Lowell: I feel it a duty and aj
pleasure to inform you what your Cherry Pec
(oral has done for my wife. She had been five
months laboring under the dangerous symptoms
of Consumption, from which no aid we could
procure gave her much relief. She was steadily
failing, until Dr. Strong, of this city, where we; ,
have come for advice, recommended a trial of j j
your medicine. We bless his kindness, as we |
lo your skill, for she has recovered from that i j
lay. She is not yet as strong as she used to be,! <
out is free from her cough, and calls herself
well. Yours with gratitude and regard,
(.RLANDO SHELBY, of Shelby villo.
Consumptive >\ do not despair till you have
tried Ayrr’h Cherry Pectoral. It is’made by ,

AYER’S CATHARTIC PILLS.
The sciences of Chemistry and Medicine have
been taxed their utmost to produce this best,
most perfect purgative which is known to man.
Innumerable proofs are shown that these Pills
have virtues which surpass in excellence the or
dinary medicines, and that they win unprece
dentedly upon the esteem of all men. They arc
safe and pleasant to take, but powerful to cure.
Their penetrating properties stimulate the vital
activities ot the body. remove the obstructions
o' - it> organs, purify the blood, and expel disease.
They purge out the foul humors which breed
and grow distemper, stimulat sluggish ordis ,
ordered organs into their natural action, and im ,
part healthy tone with strength to the whole \
system. Not only do they cure the every day ■
complaints of every body’ but also formidable
and dangerous diseases that have baltled the best
of human skill. While they produce powerful
effects, they are at the same time, in dim nished
dos‘ s, the safest and best.physic that can beem
ployed for children. Being sugar coated, they
, are pleasant to take ; and being purely vegeta-1
' blc*. are free from any ri-k of harm. Cures have
; been made which surpass belief, were they not
' substantiated by men of such exalted position
! and character as to forbid the suspicion of un
truth. Many eminent clergymen and physicians
I have lent their names to certify to the public
i the reliability of my remedies, while others have
1 sent me the assurance of iheir conviction that!
j my Preparations contribute immensely to th •
; relief of my afflicted, suffering fellow men.
The Agent below named is pleased to furnish
gratis my American Almanac, containing dine
tions for their use and certificates of their cures,
i of tho following complaints :
i Costivoncss, Bilious Complaints, Rheumatism,
; Dropsy, Heartburn, Headache arising from a
foul Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Morbid Inac
i tion of the Bowels and Pain arising therefrom,
i Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, all Ulcerous and
I Cutaneous Diseases which require an evacuant
! Medicine. Scrofula, or King’s Evil. They also,
by purifying the blood and stimulating the sys
j tem, cure many complaints whic h it would not
| be supposed they could reach,such its Deafness,
: Partial Blindness, Neuralgia and Nervous Irrita
! bility, Derangements of the Liver and Kidneys,
, Gout, and other kindred complaints arising from
a low state of the body or obstruction of its func
i tions.
j Do not be putofTby unprincipled dealers with
I some other pi 1 they make more profit on. Ask
■ for AYER S PILLS, and take nothing else. No!
j other they can give you compares with this in j
j its intrinsic value or curative powers. The sick j
I want the hesi aid there is for them, and they
| should have it.
