and appurtenances ; also, to negotiate
for. and if desirable, effect a re-sale of
the same, and report their action to
Council. , .
The chair appointed Messrs, blodget.
Dye, Ford, and Keener that Commit
tcc.
The following report was made by
that committee,which was received and
adopted : . .
The committee appointed to confer
with a committee from the Augusta
Manufacturing Company in relation
to the purchase by Council of the mills
machinery and other interests of said
company, and a re-sale of the same,
respectfully.
REPORT :
That they have had a conference with
the committee of said Augusta Manu
facturing Company, and submit the
following as the lesult:
The Augusta Manufacturing Compa
ny will sell their entire interest to the
City Council of Augusta for the sum of
one hundred and forty thousand dollars
($140,000)— the bonds and interest there
upon of said company amounting to
the sum of one hundred and seven
thousand dollars to be received in parj
payment, and the remainder of the
purchase money to be paid in city bonds.
The city of Augusta to release said
company from all liability for taxes and
water rent, up to the date of the trans
' fer of the property; and the Augusta
Manufacturing Company to dismiss all
suits now in progress, and release all
rights of actiou which may have ac
crued against the city ou account of
any failure under the contract now of
force to furnish certain supplies of wa
ter.
Upon enquiry, your committee find
that city bonds, having from one to ten
years to run, can be exchanged for the
, outstanding bonds of the Augusta Man
ufacturing Company.
Your committee also report that re
sponsible parties are now ready and
willing to purchase the property above
named from the City Council of Augus
ta, for the sum of one hundred and for
ty thousand dollars, the payment to be
made so as to meet the liabilities which
the City Council may incur in the pur
chase, the payments to be secured by
mortgage upon the property and trans
fers of insurance policies, upon condi
tion that the City Council will exempt
them for a term of years from the pay
ment of taxes on said propeity and
from water rent.
Your committee have no hesitation
in recommending to Council the pur
chase of the said property, upon the
conditions specified, and we are unani
mously of opinion that it will be for the
best interest of the city to consummate
the anaiigement at the the earliest pos
sible period. The stake Augusta has in
the success of the manufacturing inter
est- to make which interest prosperous,
and prosperity permanent, she has been
at so great an outlaj of money— is too
large to he trifled with by those to
whose guardianship it has been confi
ded. From that measure for which in
its inception so much was prophesied,
has actually resulted as yet nothing of
considerable advantage to our people.
From whatever source this ill success
has proceeded —whether from disastrous
speculation or bad management, it is
notour duty enquire at this time, though
r those into whose hands the property
1 shall fall, might find a profitable result
from such an investigation. It is our
duty to endeavor to re invigorate tli#
declining prosperity of every branch of
industry in our rniest, and to encourage j,
to its greatest capacity the prosecution I
of every enterprise which has fur it.!
object the commercial advancement of
our citizens. Under the arrangement
for the purchase of this property, which
for so long a time has been unproduc
tive, we are relieved from the defense of
a suit or series of suits, which, whatev
er the result may be, can but subject us
to excessive trouble and great expense.
With tliis vexations litigation settled,
and the guarnty under which it proceeds
stricken from any future contract we
may make with other parties, we can
discover no reason to fear further diffi
culty on this subject.
Your committee feel satisfied that the
citizens of Augusta will at once perceive
the expediency—not to say the necessi
ty—of (lie adoption of the policy re
commended. We can at least lose
nothing by this course, and in a ques
tion of loss, the shortest point at which
we can stop is the one most beneficial.
The advantages we shall gain by simp
ly striking out the guarantee under
which we are now harrassed, and upon]
which the arbitration agreed upon, by j
the City Council and the Manufactur-!
iug Company, have reported unfavora
ble to that city, would alone cotnpen-'
sate us for all the expense we could pos
sibly incur by the purchase. Under'
other management, and with the in
creased facilities, and what is of far
greater consequence to triumph, the
additional zeal brought to a project by
new and fresh hands, who have not had
their ardor dampened by a long contest
with ill success, the commercial and in-j
dustrial parsui’s of our city would, be- 1
yond doubt, receive an impetus which
would speedily quicken into renewed,
life, the general prosperity of our city.
You); committee, therefore, recommend
the adoption, by Council, of the fol
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That His Honor, the Mayor, j
be authorised and instructed to pm
chase the mills, machinery, and otherj
interests of the Augusta Manufacturing
Company, and re-sell the same upon the
conditions specified in the foregoing re
port.

The following communication from
His Honor the Mayor, was read, receiv-j
. ed, and ordered spread upon the min-!
utes :
. To (he Cilg Council of Augusta :
In pursuance of the resolution of the
City Council, authorising the Mayor to
; purchase the real estate, mills, and ma
: chinery, of the Augusta Manufacturing
Company, I entered into negotiations
■ with the directors of said company,
which resulted in my purchasing the
: property. &e., for the sum of one bun
dred and forty thousand (8140,000) dol
lars, payable in the bonds of the u City
Council of Augusta, In equal amounts,
annually,running from one to ten years,
with interest, payable semi-annually,on
the first of January and first of July.
Acting under the same resolution, I
opened negotiations with sundry per
sons, for the purpose of disposing of the
same property, and effected a sale to
Messrs. Edward Thomas,George M. New
ton, H. 11. Cumming, Thomas Barrett,
B. H, Warren, C. J. Jenkins, W. M.
D’Antignac, James Hope, G. W. Evans,
G. T. Dortic, G. W. Summers, W. A.
Beall, W. E. Jackson, and Lambeth
: Hopkins, who have formed themselves
into a company, under the Btyle of the
’ “ Augusta Factory.” The sum obtain
, ed was one hundred and forty thousand
(140,000) dollars,in equal annual instal
ments of fourteen thousand ($14,000)
dollars, interest payable semi-annually.
The various papers, annulling the
former contract with the new contracts,
! bonds, mortgages, &c., have been duly
recorded,in the office of the Clerk of the
■ Superior Ceurt, and are, also, on file
, in the Clerk of Council’s office, to
i which I beg leave more particularly to
i refer.
I believe the best interests of the ci
ty have been promoted by the purchase
and re-sale of the property in question
and I hope that the new purchasers
i may realise for themseves, and for the
■ city, all the good results which was an
: ticipated from the enterprise when first
undertaken.

The committee to whom was referred

RKrOKT.
That the same has been duly consider

REMARKS.—TIie business of the weak has i
been fair, though the depression in Cotton has
been foil in ail departments of trade. There is
no material change in any of the leading articles,
and our table presents a correct statement of
wholesale prices. Our dealers in Clothiug and
staple wi .ter goods, are very busy since tin
late cold weather, and stocks are large and am
ple in all departments of wholesale or retail
trade.
COTTON.—At the close of our last report, we
left the market dull, at prices ranging from 10#
toil cents. Up to Wednesday there was no
quotable change in prices, but there was au ob
servable tendency to easier rates. On Wednes
day, whether from the frost, or other influences
we cannot say, there was a better demand, and j
prices stiffened. There was a good demand this j
nnrning, up to the reception of the steamer’s J
i accounts, at 10# to 10?* cents lor Good .Middling
to Middling Fair grades. We have heard of a
few sales this afternoon at a decline of about #
cent. We cannot give quotations, but think 10#
for Middling, and 10# for Middling Fair, repre
sent the prices nt the close of our report.
The sales of the week are about 5,000 bales,
and the receipts 9,640 bales.
Sales reported to-day (Friday), 4G9 bales, as :
follows : 0 at 9#, 1] at 10, 7 at 10#, 50 at 10#,
56 at 10#, 196 at 10#, 127 at 10#, 10 at 10#c.
The market is quiet, at a decline of # on steam
er’s accounts. Receipts 1822 bales.

SEWING MACHINES.
K EASONS why the Grover & Raker !
Machine is universally preferred for family I
j sewing: j
[ 1. It is more simple and easier kept in order ,
! than any other Machine.
I 2d. It makes a seam which will not rip or I
! ravel, though every third stitch is cut.
3d. It sews from two ordinary spools, and thus :
1 all trouble of winding thread is avoided, while]
the same machine can be adapted at pleasure j
by a mere change of spool, to all varieties of wort j
4th. The same machine runs silk, linen threat j
and common spool cotton with equal facility,
sth. The seam is as elastic as the most eiast) l |
fabric, so that it is free from ail liability tobreal
in washing, ironing, or otherwise.
6th. The >titch made by this machine is moii
beautiful than any other made, either by hart
or machine

chines in their different localitie-, with profits
