[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.

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 • The sales to day were SI bales—lo at 9at II ; and 12 at 12 ce: ts.

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.

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.” | Astlima or Phthisic, and Bronchitis* r West Manchester, Pa., Feb. 4, 1856. Sir : Your Cherry Pectoral is performing mar vellous cures in this section.

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.

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. Prepared by Dr . J. C. AYER, Practical and | Analytical Chemist, Lowell. Mass. Price ‘.5 cts. per Box ; five Boxes for sl.
