Our banks are now furnishing abund ant capital for the movement of cotton. Notwithstanding the rainy weather, cotton came in pretty lively all over the country yesterday. The pavement on Washington street, at the Medical College, is sadly in need of repair. The cotton crop of 1874, as calculat ed by the New Orleans Cotton Ex-*j change, was 3,827,845 bales. The man who made a murderou as sault on Jno. Callahan, at Judge King’s farm, has been captured aud is now in jail. It rained yesterday off and on all day, and last night several hard showers, cooled the ail* and the ardor of the dust. Could not the weeds on the Parade Ground be cut down? As cool weather approaches the military resumo their parades and drills on that classic ground, and of course will require a clear space for their manoeuvres. Stilts are now becoming the rage with the juveniles. Several colored youngsters, yesterday, on one of the principal cross streets near Broad,while practicing proved to be quite an ob struction on the sidewalk to pedestri ans. According to the Weather Bureau, the total rainfall from September 10th to 16th was 18 hundredth inches; high est temperature, 95 degrees, on the 12th; lowest, 60 degrees, on the 13th; average, 74:7 degrees; same time last year, 76:9 degrees ; and it would have been lower still this year, had it not been so dreadfully warm two or three days, during the week. It was affecting to witness an old mule, apparently overcome, by “Dar ling I am Growing Old,” as played by the Warrenton Band at the Globe Hotel corner yesterday evening. He was ready to lay down and die, when some unfeeling wretch yelled “oats” in his ear, and that is the last we have seen of him. Weather Review. We are indebted to Mr. H. Bessant, observer in charge of the signal service bureau at this point, for a copy of the monthly weather review for August. The rain-fall was heavier than for August, 1874. The number of cloudy days in the South Atlantic States were 4.2. The rainy days was above the average everywhere except in the northwest. In the South Atlantic States there were 14.4. The heaviest rain-fall was in Gainesville, beiDg 7.62. The prevailing winds were southerly. The total movement of the air was about 4,540 miles for the South Atlan tic States on an average, and for Au gusta 2,159 miles. The average verifi cation for all the districts predicted was 91.14 per cent. Frosts, heavy and light, occurred in the Northern and Western States from the middle until the latter part of the month. •*•¥ Our Country Cousins. Yesterday a large excursion party arrived from points aleng the Georgia Railroad. They proceeded to the City Hall, to the tune of delightful music, furnished by the Warrenton and Thomson bands. After arriving at the City Hall, they took possession, and as there was a multitude of pretty young ladies among the party, the town boys went down to pay their respects. At intervals during the day, both bands made the hours swiftly fly, by strains from “Silver Threads” to operatic “Maritana,” and the day was delight- passed by the excursion party. The Warrenton band marched through the city and serenaded quite a number of our citizens. Their music was real ly splendid. The excursion party re turned home by the regular passenger train last night.

To-day will be a lively one at the Fair Grounds. Twelve of our crack shots will try it on the wing, and of the result much peculation has been in dulged in, but no pools were bet or rather sold. And here we would re mark, that we are requested to state that an erroneous rumor aud impression has been prevalent that pools would be sold, so as as to allow persons of dif ferent opinions to substantiate their opinions. The members objected to pools being sold, and therefore they were not sold last nighfc at the Augusta Hotel. Fine sport is promised to-day and, from what we hear of the marks men, an exciting contest will be in order. There will be 12 members of the club to shoot, and each has ten pigeons to try his skill on. One hund red and fifty pigeons have been provided in case ties should oc cur. The shooting will commence at 4 o’clock at the Fair Grounds, and the ladies are most respectfully invited to add zest to the occasion by their pres ence. The following are the members who will participate iu the contest: J. K. Evans, Byron Holly, J. D. Cole, W. E. Scofield, G. N. Garvin, B. D. Jones, W. H. Jones, F. K. Huger, J. W. Thay er, H. A. Duncau, J. H. Rucker, J. J. Doughty and T. C. Dome. Jeff' Long on the W r ar Path —He Calls a Convention to Meet in Augusta on 17tli of October. The notorious Jeff Long, a person of color and a member of Congress from the Eighth District, is primed, spur red, mounted and heeled, and ready for vengeance. Jeff has a restless spirit, and if he don’t mind it will get him into trouble yet, much more than he has experienced in the past. Now, Jeff is a tan col ored darkey, and was formerly right hand of the fugitive insurrectionary negro, Jos. Morris, and likely there lingers in the heart of Jeff a fond af fection for Joseph—at least his last move would so indicate. Now, Morris is about what Bob Toombs would call the double distilled essence of all that an abundance of ipecac would purge hell of, and very naturally he’s just such a man as a minister of the gospel wouldn’t like to have anything to do with. Therefore, Jeff Long ought to keep his hands out of this odorous sugar dish, otherwise the exceeding sweetness might have a bad effect .on his constitution, and then there is no knowing what might follow. Jeff has gotten up a cir cular addressed to all the colored peo ple in this section of the country, call ing on them to assemble in Augusta on the 17th of next October, to discuss the late insurrection and see that justice is done their race, which the circular says has not heretofore been accorded in regard to this insurrection bCsinoss. The document is also numerously signed by other negroes, but we doubt if the call will bring 100 negroes together. They are tired of these meet ings, and they have seen the folly and danger of following Morris and his infernal colleagues, aud likely there is a faint scent of Morris about the carcass of Jeff, aud this is not relished much at this writing by the colored people. They had better stay on their farms and attend to their business in stead of coming here to have evil coun sel given them by Jeff Long and his associates, and likely they know this by this time. THE POST OFFICE REMOVAL. To Be Removed to Corner of Ellis and Mclntosh Streets—A New Building. At last the question of the removal of the post office is settled, and it will be removed. Yesterday Postmaster Prince received from the postal author ities at Washington authority to accept the offer of Dr. Doughty, which is to build anew building on the corner of Ellis and Mclntosh streets, where Puck ett’s meat house used to be located. Dr. Doughty’s offer was to erect a house, suitable to the requirements of the department, and the new building will have a front on Ellis street of 90 feet aud a front on Mclntosh street of 45 feet. The department will at once conclude the terms of a lease with Dr. Doughty, and his building will be leased for ten years at an annual ren tal of $1,500 per year. It is optional with him to have it one or two stories high, but likely he will build it two stories high. It would be a splen did place for a ball. What the cost of the building will be is not known. Dr. Doughty will com mence building in a month or two likely, as his contract is, to have the building ready by the Ist of January, 1876, by which time the department will require its use, and the Post Office will not likely be removed before that time. The location selected was considered the most central for the masses, but undoubtedly the present one is far more accommodating for the majority of business men. The Poullain building, as a central location, was preferred to any other offered, but it was too small, and the rent asked ($2,000 per annum) was con sidered more than the Department felt justified in paying. The building at present occupied was not liked, al the owners proposed to fix it up in first class style. It was considered rather small also, and thus the removal is a settled fact, but it will be over three months yet before it takes place. Second Contest of the 11. 11. C. Early as 6 o’clock yesterday morning the members of the Club were on the ground, and though the morning looked anything but cheerful, nevertheless a smile was evidently being passed around as the boys listened to the par allel of “John Gilpins liide” which one of their Club was just after eomsuma ting. About twenty minutes before six a young gent wended his way up Broad street riding a sprightly horse. Around the rider could be seen a large target, a piece of scantling about ten feet long, a box of cartridges, and a Spring field rifle. Having entire confidence in the gentleness of the nag he set off in a canter. The wind was just blowing enough to hoist the old target like a jibboon sail, everything got to jostling around and off the horse started. Let me here remark, in justice to the horse, that there are few animals in town who can skin over a mile in faster time. Old John Robinson could not produce a more side-splitting scene than the runaway. The rider trying to hold on the target, gun, etc., at the same time clutching tho saddle as it was the last seat this side the “Iron Works,” with coat tail standing erect, and hat lost in the distance, the young sport dashed up Harrisburg Road at at lightning speed. Finding it impos sible to check the ungovernable horse, he (involuntarily, we must say) dropped the encumbrance of the sail, &c., suc ceeded in reining up at Harrisburg Bridge. If Macaplay’s New Zealander was there, he could see. if not the prophe sied ruin, the ruin of the youth’s antici pations of pleasure at the practice of the Rifle Club. The Club had a splendid practice, and though the weather was very un favorable for shooting, they made an admirable score. On the 200 yard range Mr. John A. Bohler, Jr., was the victor, having made 16 points out of a possible 20. On the 300 yards range there were three ties. All the members of the Club shot re markably well, having made from 12 to 15 points each at both ranges. Another contest will take place early next week, when we anticipate some fine shooting.

Trade 9:as fine, and is daily improving in all branesf.es, and the declining tendency ot' cott nl *s no effect whatever on the other markets. As has been anticipated, the outlook? now is as promising as the nustsanguiifit could have expected, and as a gradual increase iu busi ness is noted it also brings [ with it the foundation of a prosperity thip. cannot be disturbed by every little wl'iifle ot wind blown from the North an t[ West. Our farmers are now, com paratively speaking, in an independent position, mveh more so than they have been for a nunjber of years, and notwithstanding the gnlat hobby of Northern and Western co|rospondents about our destitution, (;.porgia to day is in a better condition than she lias been since the Wv>r, and un like that of former years'* this state of affairs is stable. It is built; jin a founda tion of economy, the production of home consumption to a larger exteV.t than ever before, and almost entire cash transactions. We do not, and will not this jj tar. witness farmers asking credit immediately after harvest, and with nothing to )..o upon save what is furnished by the merchant at ruin ous rates, so it would appeal! (that at last have they come to appreciate? the disaster consequent upon the production of too much cotton and no home necessities; and although as we have before t p-marked, one season will not entirely lift ttiftn out of the mire, it will give them thepoi er to extri cate themselves in another yfiar or two, by a continuation of the course now be gun. If the same polic;j that has been begun is kept up, ’lt may be safely estimated that, in- • two years the West will ceaso to sen’! her wheat here for our consumption. ; Wb will then have no use for Kentucky, Tennessee and other State stock, meats, ois :in !act any thing in the domestic line. One thing no ticeable this season is that mere attention has been paid to the cultivation of hav, and this is one of tne most remunerative of crops, and needs but little attention iu cul tivation. The same may beisaidof oats, and, as experienced farmers ted us, an acre planted in oats will bring moFfimonev than an acre of cotton. It is verylhard for old cotton planters to make themVelves believe this, and this very thing is \fihat has par tially ruined the country, but fhis season a change is noticeable, and with happy re sults. We trust this course wil be pursued hereafter. i Nothing is doing in financia circles, and the money market is comparatively easy. The meat market is vory fii in, with light stocks. Business in this line*is good, and the market is liable to advance at anytime. It will hardly be lower for time to come. '{ Flour is firm with light stock. City Mills supplies to a grev. t extent the trade which is altogether for Consumption. The grain market has been Ajtive, especi ally wheat. The probabilities are that wheat will advance to much |s£gher figures than the present, but this cannot be posi tively said. At present whea f |is very firm, and choice lots sell easily at !j;|.so. Fluctu ations may be expected. Thi* ’present crop in England is poor, and full if one month’s consumption will have to be imported more than last year. Exports froiiif America are much heavier so far this y<ir than last, and are likely to continue so < The crop in this country is below the aveii .ge general ly. In California it is excellent, and the yield is much above that of l&jt yetu*. Oats remains firm and a 1 good article commands ready sale. Corn? is dull and has declined from 3to 5 cents* Prime lots are chieily sought after, anil mixed and partially damaged is very dull w th no de mand. One feature of tne trifle is deserv ing of special notice. TherQ is a fine do mand for seed grain, wdiicli* shows that farmers intend planting mor< ‘than hereto fore, and the demand is raudi' earlier than usually, which is another heathy sign, lt is estimated that fully twice its much grain will be planted the coming season as there nas been since the war, and merchants re port farmers all investing ite large lots of seed grain. Such being tne else, unuoubt edly expectations will proye correct, and next year will see our farmers established on an independent basis, t.a?d thereafter prosperity is a certain fact, djorn meal has fallen 5 cents. i| Bagging and Ties are soii|jwhat active with a declining tendency. - The general grocery mark; | is dull, as it always is at this season. 1 is improving, however.

Owing to the declining tendency of cotton goods, they are more sougft after, and the excess of stocks in New fork, coupled with the embarrassed state o* the Eastern manufactories, will keep the Market down.

The manufacture of these ifpccialitios is now the only relief for East(-|n manufacto ries that have been for some lime past idle, and consequently they are f he life of the trade. It is hardly s lie, as let, to predict fora certainty what trade vjill be, but we think it will be compara*ijely light, al though some merchants are'of a different opinion.

The gain for the week has been almost en tirely with the buyer, and, with the excep tion of one or two small and unimportant issues, the influences are much the same as before noted. All the advices from the South have tended to confirm the reports of thedavorable condition of the crop, and the attention of operators has been turned toward gaining such information as would be likely to indicate the rapidity with which planters will be likely to market their product. In a few quarters there is an ex pression of belief that during this month the supplies will run behind as compas ed with last year, but the majority of opinions seem to favor full arrivals, especially as the receipts at the ports have already com menced to assume very fair proportions. In the meantime, the demand has been moderate and cautious, with stocks falling away much less rapidly, and constant calls from the South inviting proposals on cot ton to arrive. The “bear” tone, in fact, has continued very perceptible, without, how ever, developing into any “raid,” and opera tors generally wanting to soe a little more cotton actually available before selling the market off too freely. “Spots” have moved out slowly, and in a more or less irregular manner, with the tone weak and prices generally on the downward turn for alt grades. Exporters have been ruled out • ntirely by the absence of the least word of encouragement from abroad, and the unsaleable condition of exchange. Nothing was required on speculative account, and the demand has, in consequence, come entirely from spin ners. Buyers on this latter outlet were in different in all cases, and handled nothing except upon the basis of the most imper ative necessity, and displayed a desire to make a close selection. Borne of the very desirable grades, in vLw of the natural scarcity on the roduced and broken assort ment, have been made to command figures, where buyers were particularly anxious; but this was rare, and anything off in qual ity very frequently could be reached at something under the current daily quota tions. Indeed, holders have, as a rule, been more anxious to operate than buyers, and offerings were in excess of the outlet. New cotton is expected soon, with an apparent belief that the increase of stock will be steady and sure, and as the letters at hand from the South offer parcels to arrive at lower figures, and solicit further bids, it has boon deemed prudent to sell when op portunity admitted. On contracts there Is not much to say. The general tendency has been downward, and on all months a decline is established, partly under pressure of orders from the South to sell. The apparently prosperous condition of the crop, gradually swelling receipts at the ports, and the absence of anytldng like good healthy vitality on the consumptive demand either at home or abroad have been the weights upon the market..and of so widespread a character, that nothing but tho growing caution even among speculative operators chould have at one time prevented a serious break. Toward the close of tho week the sharp upward turn on gold appeared to frighten a few “shorts,” especially those working on small margins, and as nearly all could discover a little profit, there was a slight l-ush to cover. This of course gave the “bulls” an advantage, the moderate re actions took place from the lowest points, but wore with difficulty sustiined, even though Liverpool was also reported as stiffening after having sold down to 7d. September has shown just a trifle greater strength than the later months, as a few operators believe there is still a chance of supplies proving short at just the time they will be wanted for contracts.
