LOCAL MATTERS.
Ko Pnper.
In accordance with time-honored cus
tom, there will be no paper issued from
this office to morrow evening. We ten
der our readers the compliments of the
season, bespeaking for all, a merry
Christmas.
Colton’g General Atlas
We alluded yesterday to Colton's Atlas
of the. World. We should have said
Colton’s General Atlas, which is a later
publication than the former, and supe
rior to it, in every respect. We were led
into the error in terms from having the
name of the old work in our mind at
the time we wrote, and deem it proper
to correct it, that our readers may not
have the impression that the Agent is
still selling the old edition. The work
under notice has 170 maps and descrip
tive plates.
Aik Kill tor In Toan.
We had the pleasure of a call, on yes
terday, from C. B. Barrow, Esq., one of
the editors of the Georgia Weekly Visitor,
published at Madison, Ga. The Vidor
has recently been purchased by C. B.
Barrow & Co., and it is their purpose
to improve the paper and give it a wi
der circulation, It is located at a favor
able point to advance the interests of
Augusta advertisers, and those who be
lieve in Printer's Ink ought by all
means to advertise in the Visitor. Mr.
Barrow is at the Planters’ Hotel.
Free Lunch.
The attention of our readers is direct
ed to the notice of a free lunch to-mor
row morning at the United States Ho
tel.
Georgia Conference.
We have not yet received a list of the appoint
ments of the Georgia Conference, but a friend has
handed us the following, for this city and a few
other places :

Tile Marsh Juveniles.
This troupe of celebrities will make
their first appearance on Monday night,
when they will play the Naiad Queen,
and the farce of Nan, the Good for
Nothing. The Atlanta Intelligencer al
luding to this troupe, says :
We commend the “Marsh Juveniles’’
to the special favor of our people.—
Their performanc es thus far, have been
free from everything that would offend
the chastest modesty, and we hazard
nothing in saying that ladies, and the
mist fastidiously moral, will not find
anything in their performances, which
they will regret paying half a dollar to
witness.
Strnkosch’g Concert.
The operatic festival passed off last
night in the most brilliant style; Concert
Hall was full, and we have never seen a
more delighted audience. Piece after
piece, was encored, ami the enthusiasm
heightened with each succeeding show
er of musical harmony. The Company
appear next in Savannah for two nights.
There will be preaching at the
Green Street Presbyterian Church, by
G. W Bonos, on Sabbath, at 3 o’clock
P. M. Also at 7 o’clock in the evening.
At the Baptist Church in the morning
and at night, by Key. J. E. Ryerson.
At the Presbpterian church morning
and night by Rev. J. R. Wilson.

To Ihc Honorable ami Ancient Fra
ternity of Grampus Vlteas.
B. & S.—The auuual meeting and
election for officers of our Order being
near at hand, and understanding that
the present G. 11. P. is a candidate for
re-election to this responsible office, and
believing that none but truly worthy
members should aspire to that dignity,
the writer deems it necessary to make
known to the members throughout the
State, some incidents connected with
the said G. H. I’, and his visit to the
North last summer. The first event
occurred at one of the Palace Hotels of
New York city. It seems, as far as can
be ascertained from the confused ac
count of the inmates and the gentle
man himself, that in attempting to
leave one of the parlors, he came in
contact with another gentleman who
intercepted liispassage, and being noted
for his politeness, made way, when, as
is not usual, the stranger also made way,
which of course brought them face to
face, and so they dodged hither and
thither for some minutes, until our G
H. P. became excited and belligerent,
and came to a dead bait against the
wall, and imperiously ordered his inter
cep ei to “pass on and not make a fool
of himaslf any longer,” when to his
astonishment he funud he had been gy
rating before a huge mirror. He was
pet ll tied,and might have remained so
to this day, bad he not been aroused by
a guffaw whicu shook the immense
building, and turning, found all the
servants, man and maid, with a goodly!
portion of the boarders, witnesses of
the scene. Our G. H. P., worthy lam
sorry to say no longer, was carried out,
and mi his recovery subsided into an
obscure part of the city and was no
more seen
I will only add that the scene occur
red near the bar room, and leave the B.
&K. r.. draw their own conclusions, and ■
judge if such an one can worthily fill
1 the big 1 ’ office of G 11. P.
j Having extended this beyond our own 1
/ expectations, we will defer further dis
closures, when. if he does not, in the a
meantime withdraw, we may have
something to say of the Indian maids a
of the Hatchwatchies in Canada. 00 ti
How the IVorlh Supplies the South
with Literature.
No little surprise has, at times, been
manifested at the want of success of
every attempt to establish literary pa
pers in tlie South, and at the failure of
almost every weekly journal which has
ever been issued. Some have asserted
that the people of the South were not a
reading people ; that, absorbed in busi
ness or devotion to pleasure, they neith
er bad time to devote to literature nor
inclination for such relaxation. Such
an impression can only he entertained
by those ignorant of the habits and the
particularities of our people.
The inhabitants of New Orleans and
of the South are liberal contributors to
Northern Journals. Instead of nourish
ing those which have their origin here
and would reflect Southern opinion and
Southern intellect, they are regular
readers of such as are published in
Northern cities, and contain the trash
iest pro luction of even Northern intel
lect. A brief summary of the weekly
sales of Northern newspapers in this ci
ty will establish this assertion. In the
facts condueed it is also worthy of note
that the New York Ledger—a journal
that contains only the whipped sylla
bub of literature—has the widest circu
lation.
A few months since, the following
weekly sale of papers published in
Northern cites was made in New Or
leans: Harper's Weekly, 1,500 copies;
New York Ledger 2,500 ; Police Gazette
500; Frank Leslies 400 ; New York
Heraid 150; New York Clipper 300 ;
Ballou's Pictorial 350 ; and several oth
er weeklies of New York and Boston,
ranging in number of copies from 250
t 500 copies each, making in all a to
tal of 8.500 copies per week.
Household Words, by Dickens, is sold
to the amount of 100 per month.
The American monthlies, published
at the north, reach a circulation of
5,000 copies in New Orleans, of which
Harper's has a circulation of 8,000 co
pies. The total expense of these pub
lications to this community is J>45,000
per annum.
Here is the secret of the want of suc
cess of home journals of a literary char
acter. The North ha§ possession of the
field. Thirty-two thousand of our pop
ulation, allowing only four persons to a
family into which these journals go, are
brought constantly and habitually in;
. contact with Northern mind. We need j
i not say that the. character of most of
these Northern Journals, indeed, of al
most all of these except Harper's, is
such as is ill-calculated to improve the
taste, develop thought or puryfy the
heart. Still le6B do they communicate
valuable knowledge, or anything high
er than to cater to morbid sensibilities.
If we desire to create a Southern lit
erature, we must first determine to fos
ter home journals instead of those pub
lished in the free States, and nourish
them into a prosperity that will react
upon Southern mind and incite it to ac
tivity.
A comparison, which we are able to
make, will give to the views here ex
pressed still greater force. Two first!
class magizines are published in the
Southern States Russell's Magazine,
published in Charleston, and the South
ern Literary Messenger, published in
Richmond. These will compare favora
bly witli any Magazines in the country.
The latter has been regularly issued for
twenty-five years. Os these journals
there are but fifty-five copies circulated
in this city—forty of Russel’s and fifteen
, of the Messenger.
The fact is, the South haslittle litera
ture because it shows no liberality to
Southern productions, and is coutent,
while berating the encroachments of
the North, to pay tribute to every en
terprise which any literary adventurer
• of the Free States may undertake.—

WEEKLY REVIEW.
AUGUSTA DISPATCFI OFFICE, )
December 24, 1858. j
REMARKS —The inclement weather, with rath
er unfavorable advices from Europe, have re
’ suited in a light week’s business in Cotton. The
Produce trade exhibits no new features of special
’ note ; indeed, the prices of grain have been re
markably uniform lor many weeks, and opera
tions hive been light. Bacon is getting scarce,
. and but little new Bacon has been received. In
Groceries there is a tendency to full rates, with
quite an active trade.
> COTTON —The receipts of the week under rc
t view have been 7,771 bales, against 9,008 bales
• for the week previous. The total receipts at all
j j the ports, compiled from the latest commercial
; reports, are 1,575,560, and show an increase on
the last year of 655,362 bales,
i At the close of our last report, we left the
7 market quiet at the following quotations : Mid
a dling 11 ©11.%, Good Middling 11%, Middling
j Fair 11% cents. Ou Friday the steamer’s ac
counts unsettled the market, bat caused no ma
• terial change in quotations ; and during the en
t tire weak juices have beon quite uniform on
f good cotton, holders refusing to submit to con
k cessions. The lower grades have been dull, and
to-day wo noted a decline of % cent on them.
The sales of the week are about 6,000 bales
and we quote at the close of operations to-day,
• as follows :
