Smith going to issue a Thanksgiving proclamation ? 2,050 voters have registered up to date. The “Devil’s Pulpit” at Tallulah Falls, was shaken down by the recent earthquake. The Northern migration of pleasure seekers towards the South has com menced in earnest. The bill hoards are covered with the announcement that the Berger Family and Sol Russell will appear here on the 19th and 20th instants. The city bridge will earn about §B,OOO clear money this year. In the past three years, the bridge has earned §22,000 above expenses. The steamers “Carrie” and “Rosa” are doing a good business on the river. On the latter boat yesterday, there was a large consignment of fire crackeis. The bell of the Christian Church will be officially tested to-day at 1 o’clock. The bell will be sounded immediately after “Big Steve” strikes the hour. The boys of “Defiance” Hook and Ladder Company, No. 9, should clean up their house. It does not reflect credit on them in the shape in which it is at present. Harper's Weekly has a hard fling this week at Sammy Tilden, lately a candi date for the Presidency. The cartoon represents Whitelaw Reid, the “hero of the tall tower,” in the character of an organ grinder, carrying a sick monkey; the aforesaid monkey bearing a strik ing likeness to S. J. T. A. B. Crump, J. P., of the 398th dis trict G. M., opened court yesterday at. the City Hall for the trial of David Lumpkin and Mollie Simpkins, negroes, charged with a breach of the peace. These same parties were before the Recorder also. Justice Crump held them both to bail to keep the peace. A successful advertiser being ques tioned about his mode of advertising said: “Sometimes I would send out ar tistically gotten-up circulars; at others I would invest in labels of various de scriptions, so tastily executed that chemists would be glad to give them a prominent place in their stores; but the bulk of my advertising was through the newspapers, and it has gradually brought this firm a trade which ex tends all over the States.” Presbyterian Church. Services in this church on Sunday morning, at 10:30 o’clock, by the Rev. Z. T Sweeney. Rev. .T. A. Broadus, DD., LLD. Rev. Dr. Broadus, the distinguished divine who will conduct the reopening services in the First Baptist Church to-morrow, is expected to reach the city by the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad this evening. He will be the guest of H. H. HickinaD, Esq. Personal. W. W. Fowler, the business manager of the Berger Family and Sol Smith Russell, is in town. He states the troupe have been having a vacation at Nashville in consequence of the death of Mr. Russell’s mother on the 4th inst. The troupe have done well so far, which appears to be the case with all com panies of merit. Railroad Accident. The passenger train on the South Carolina Railroad, due here at 8 a. m., was detained four hours yesterday, by an accident to two locomotives on the road about half way to Charleston. An engine attached to a freight train was disabled by the slipping of the ec centrics. The engine of the passenger train came along and in endeavoring to pull the disabled engine out of the way broke a connecting rod, thus causing the delay. Good Templars.

Crop Report of Augusta District. The following report has just been made: The Augusta Exchange, ) Augusta, Ga., Nov. 10, 1875. ) To the President and Board of Directors of the Augusta Exchange : Gentlemen: We respectfully submit the following report for the month of October, as to the prospects and condi tion of the cotton crop in the district allotted to this Exchange. Our report is based on sixty-one replies from twenty-four counties. Average date of replies, Ist inst.: Ist Question —What has been the character of the weather since October Ist, and has it been more or less favor able than same time last year for gath ing the crop? Answer—With the exception of some local rains in the early part of October, the weather has been dry and very fa vorable for picking. The majority of our replies report the month as more favorable than in 1874. 2d Question —When did you have kill ing frost in your section, and what damage, if any, has it done to the crop ? Answer—Killing frosts are reported on the lGth and 17th of October. Late cotton is reported as damaged, though tbe injury is stated to have been con siderable, the crop having matured rapidly previous to that date. The! damage is certainly no greater than in any average year. 3d Answer —What proportion of the crop has been picked, and by what time do you think picking will be fin ished in your county? Answer—About half of our corres pondents report two-thirds of the crop as picked, the balance three-fourths, and a very few as much as seven eights. The general opinion seems to be that picking will be completed be tween the 15tli and 30th of November. 4th Question —How will the yield in your county compare with last year ? State probable increase or decrease. Answer -Twelve replies indicate a yield as large as last year ; ten, from eight to twelve and a half per cent, less; sixteen, from twenty to twenty five per cent, less ; twenty, range from thirty to thirty-three per cent, less ; and two, fifty per cent. less. The aver-' age points to a falling off from last year’s yield of from eighteen to twenty per cent. sth Q „estion—State any material facts regarding the yield not covered by the above questions. Some counties are making a fuller crop than was expected a month ago. The damage by frost is very inconsid erable, probably not over two per cent., as it only killed the youngest bolls, without piercing such as were fairly grown, and which it really helped to open. Besides, there was but little late cotton in this section subject to dam age, most of it having suffered severe ly from the drought. There seems to be a general unanimity of opinion that cotton does not yield as well as last year, requiring more seed cotton to make a specified amount of lint. 6th Question —What damage, if any, do you estimate was done by rust in your section? Answer —The damage by rust has been very unequal in different locali ties. Our reports range from “very little” to “twenty-five per cent, loss.” It is impossible to give an average. The principal damage was done by the drought, and consequent shedding. Very respectfully, your obedient ser vants, L. L. Zulavsky, Chairman; J. J. Pearce, F. W. Reid, R. W. Heard, L. C. Nowell, A. M. Benson, Wm. M. Read, Committee on Statistics and Informa tion. Child’s Funeral. Ann Schlein.a pupil of the Houghton Institute, died yesterday. Her funeral occurred yesterday morning, the usual ceremonies taking place over the body at St. John’s M. E. Church, Rev. Messrs. Evans and Patterson officiat ing. The session of the Houghton In stitute was brought to a close about 11 o’clock, the pupils—about 250 in num ber —under the leadership of Professor Shecut, repairing to the church, where they behaved in the most orderly man ner. After singing the hymn, com mencing “Jesus, Lover of My Soul,” Rev. Mr. Patterson made an Impressive prayer. Rev. Mr. Evans read a portion of the burial service, and a portion of the Gospel of St. Mark Y, 37, sup plementing it with a most touching address, in which he spoke of the beautiful Christian life of the deceased, and the example she set,which brought many persons under Christian influ ences. The words of God. Evans brought tears to the eyes of many of those present, both young and old. The pall bearers were boys, and, after the services in the church, they boro the remains to the hearse, and the body of the young Christian was taken-to the cemetery. Scene in tlie City Hall. Mayor's Office — Time, 11 a. m. —Mayor seen looking ova' Public Documents, Letters, d'c. —Enter Stout, Healthy Tramp. Tramp—“ I want a pass to Savan nah ?” Mayor (looking up slowly and eyeing the fellow from head to foot)—“Where did you come from ?” Tramp (somewhat confused and point ing in the direction of South Carolina), —“ Well, somewhere over there ; I for get the name of the place, exactly.” Mayor—“ Was it Smithville?” Tramp—“ Well, I can’t exactly tell.” Mayor—“ Can’t give you a ticket.” (Exit tramp in a hurry.) The city saved §2.75 In that inter view. “Trade” Competition. A fellow with a hand organ, of an excrutiating wheezy tone, started his grinding mill near the Union depot yesterday morning. He had for an as sistant a one-legged boy, and had drawn a crowd, and was in the full tide of success, when his hopes were dashed by the appearance of a pair of rivals. The new comers had an accordeon, and they commenced a tune, as an ac companiment to their voices, in the endeavor to sing a song—and such voices. They would make a veudor of fish, turn pale with envy, and charm the heart of a wood sawyer’s appren tice. The singing did the job, for the poor organ grinder, with his wheezy organ, moved off, leaving the field to the “ beautiful ” singers. The Post Office Scales.—An enor mous amount of printed matter is weekly weighed in tlie newspaper and periodical department of the Post Office, which is situated in the first story, on the side opposite City Hall Park. The# weighing is done by two Fairbanks’ Platform Scales, each of which is an accurate test of any weight from one pound to ten tons. The clerks In oharge of the work say that the scales are as sensitive as a magnetic needle and give perfect satisfaction. The machines oc cupy very little room, and trucks load ed with the papers to be weighed are easily driven upon tlie platforms. Wednesday is always the busiest day of the week in this departmeDt*of the Post Office, the amount of mail matter weighed yesterday being not less than one hundred tons.— New York Evening Post. notl3-lt —■ Consignees Per South Carolina Rail road,-November 12.

Ansley & Cos., the defendants were per petually enjoined from acting under a judgment obtained in another suit. The jury in the case of Cassard Bros. vs. Sanders A. Frain, found that the property “was not subject to the exe cution.” In the case of Zachariah Daniel vs. Coles, Sizer & Cos., the jury brought in a verdict of §1,350 for plaintiff. A decree was entered in the case of Charles A. Platt vs. Goode Bryan, trus tee, and Anna C. Bryan, et al., a bill in equity to ascertain the rights of mi nors, with leave to sell certain pro perty. The court then adjourned. Recorder’s Court. MATHEW SHEBON, ESQ., PRESIDING. November 12. Thomas Howard, a negro, paid in §ls for drunkenness. David Lumpkin and Mollie Simp kins, both of the sunburnt American tribe, were charged with disorderly conduct. It appears Lumpkin has separated from his wife, and a quarrel took place about a child, in which Mol lie, as the “next best friend” of David, put in some arguments which the court held to be threatening, and the couple paid | sls for exercising i heir rights as free Americans. Building Churches. [Southern Christian Advocate.] The erection of new houses of wor ship is au indication of denominational progress ; and if judiciously and law fully conducted, is just ground of re joicing to every one interested in the prosperity of the church. But there is reason to fear that the important chap ter on the subject iu our book of Dis cipline has been so repeatedly and reck lessly disregarded, that it is doubtful whether one in one hundred of our members knows that there are such specific directions as it sets forth, or whether one-tenth of our preachers give them any place in their memories. Iu the main, these directions are judi cious and wholesome, and their faith ful observance would have saved us countless troubles and no little humili ation. “Let ail our churches be plain and decent,” is an injunction which had its origin in the infancy and poverty of Methodism, aud was manifestly de signed to check auy silly and sinful ambition to ape the expensive archi tecture of wealthier communions. With the increasing opulence of our people, however, the necessity, and indeed the propriety of a rigid observance of this rule, passed away. There is not only no valid reason why a church edifice should not correspond in costliness and elegance with the private residences and public buildings of the community in which it is located, if the congrega tion erecting it are able to pay for such a building; but there is every reason why the Lord’s house should represent conspicuously and pre-eminently the culture and means of the worshippers who use it. Now, while wo rejoice to know that commodious and handsome chureh ed ifices are going up according to the ne cessities of tlie people, we do protest most earuestly against such expendi tures in excess of the resources of the j congregations as leaves them with an embarrassing debt. It is more dis reputable than for a gentleman to dis ; port himself in fine clothes while he I leaves his tailor unpaid. Wo do not I say that no congregation should build J a more costly church than they are able to pay for within themselves ; but we do say that if they must seek aid from abroad, the assistance should be secured before the outlay is made, and not to cancel a debt which they had no moral right to contract. Apart from the constructive dishon esty involved iu pledging ourselves be yond our means to pay, the influence of a church debt is “evii, only evil, and that continually,” as long as it exists. To* the damage of higher considera tions, it must determine the supply of the pulpit; it operates disastrously upon all the benevolent enterprises whose promotion ministers so health fully to the true life of a church ; and leads to shifts aud expedients for rais ing money altogether discreditable. At a recent preachers’ meeting in New York, it was said that the churches of that city are so burdened with debt, that, in order to get money, they are obliged to resort to “clap trap ex tortions, such as fairs and festivals.” A Dr. Terry is reported as having said that “one church has introduced ’kiss ing festivals,’ and another offers anew chromo to every convert.’’ This is simply shocking, and we hope the statement, if made, was extravagant; but it is in the direct line of descent from less abhorrent exigencies created by church debts, aud is not therefore, wholly incredible. Let us encourage and urge our people to build comforta ble churches—haudsomo ones, if they are able for them—but let us insist strenuously that the recommendations of the Discipline be faitfully complied with in every instance. Military. In the window of Geo. A. Oates’ store, there is on exhibition a fine photograph of Company A, Oglethorpe Infantry. The picture is the effort of Pelot &Cole, and Is an artistic piece of work. The recent parade of the Washing ton Light Artillery has done them au infinite amount of good. Already, several applications for membership have been made. Yesterday afternoon, the Richmond Huzzars, under command of Major Cumming, turned out on the parade ground for exercise. Owing to a mis take in the orders issued for the drill, there was a small attendance, but the troop did finely. Their commandant is an accomplished tactician, and under his leadership, assisted by his able Lieutenants, the troop is gaining an excellent reputation. The Freedman’s Bank Dividend. Fifty-three of the depositors of tho late Freedman’s Bank were yesterday paid their twenty per cent, dividend at the Georgia Railroad Bank. Amounts thus paid out ranged from five cents to §250. The total amount disbursed was between §1,400 and §1,500. Rev. Wm. J. White has exercised much zeal and discretion in forwarding this matter, and great credit is due to the officers of the Georgia Railway Bank for facilitating the payment of the freedmen. We trust the colored people will, on all future occasions, when their moneyed interests are con cerned, trust to their white friends here instead of their false “ friends” abroad. Popular Books. The agent for the sale of “Dr. Living stone’s Life and Explorations in Africa” is now in the city canvassing for a sale of the work. It is handsomely bound, printed in clear type, well illus trated, and full of very interesting reading of a wonderful man and a mys terious country. In addition to the “Life of Livingstone,” the agent has several other popular and useful books for disposal. We have a soft spot in our heart for the “book canvasser,” and if his wares are worth purchasing, as they frequently are, we wish him all success commensurate with his own merit, and those of his publicatione. FINANCE AND ;MtADE. WEEKLY REVIEW OF* THE AU GUSTA MARKERS. Constitution a ltst Office, I 6 o’clock P. M., November |t2th, 1875. | Remarks. \ The week has been a Quiet lone, and the volume of trade somewhat limited. We are in the condition of the prudent general, who counted up at the end of the campaign that he “had been lmdei atoli - successful,” became while he had won in4victories, he had suffered no defeats. Wfhile at other points, a lack of confidence his been pain fully apparent, in this city, apetter feeling has prevailed; no failures t* note for the week. 'i Prices remain steady, with*i > change of quotations. j In cotton, the market open<|l in the early part of the week, rather tam i. and factors showed a disposition to s< J( at current prices. However, during t|e last three days, it became evident that the receipts at ports for the! week would not equal that of last 'Jeek, or the corresponding week of lastfyear. Prices took an upward turn and the jlemand from exporters as well as consumers has been quite act ive. The market cjises fully %c higher than last Friday’s quotations. The foreign markets at present, <ire evidently regulated by the receipts *f the United States ports, towards which they are look ing with undivided intwest. The question as to what this crop will amount to, comes nearer home to us, and the will soon narrow down to a Comparatively small difference. It is clainle i by some of those who have closely watched the course of affairs, and they appear t| be in the ma jority, that tho crop will f Jll somewhere between tlie ligures of 4,000,1|u and 4,150,000 bales. < Financial. | New York Exchange is waited and firm; for banks, 2-10 off; to others i% to % off.

[From the New York Bulletin, Nov. 9.] The general market has; been dull, even to stupidity at times, and -afforded a deci ded contrast to the condition of affairs pre vailing during the preceding week or two. 1 his, however, was to be expected after tho unusually severe "twist”jof tho October “corner,” and matters have been gradually adjusting themselves intoinore legitimate shape. On futures, then* has been some shrinkage, but spots showyhe most decided decline on quotations, though thodecline in actual value is considered Jberely a nominal one, as rates were simply iirced up at the close of last month to aid |in carrying out tlie speculative manipulations, while it was a well known fact that buyers who would positively take cotton out* of tho market, could, at all times, find . accommodation materially below the so-cejlod ruling rates. No positive plan of operations has been developed for the future, neither the “bulls” Or ‘ bears” having, as yef, sufficiently re covered from the late tussei to venture upon free movements, b>it rumor has it that plans laid some ttnje ago are being quietly matured, which wj.il culminate in an attempt at least to handle this month’s contracts in a manner si.jiilar to those on October. The prospects {for success on such a movement are as yjt very doubtful. The effect of the recent full rales is already to bo seen in the free arrivals at tho ports and the steady aceumulfjlion of stocks, -while the severe ordeal fthrough which they have just passer induced the “bears" to act witli great cju‘e, and prevents much of an extension of tae “short” inter est. The sentiment of tile entire regular "Trade” also is most decidedly against further “coiners” as tending to prostrate legitimate business, aud h|irt this city as a centre for distribution. lifieed, it is claim ed that many of the leadirj? buyers are al ready seeking supjdies elsewhere, and we are told by one iirin thtf; they alone can clearly trace a loss iu comjnissiuns of very considerable magnitude tii che baneful in fluence of the October “ooifier.” Customers have flatly refused to opeijite on a market where it is utterly impossible to decide up-, on any fixed value for bond fide goods. Very few orders of magnitude hare been received on the market for futures during thewoek, and tho current, business was light, at times almost at ajitand, and only kept alive by the smal£ operations of brokers. Values have marl) light fractional fluctuations, with the ave.fige range a lit tle lower, but no serious baak. In view of the full supplies in sij&it, the steady arrivals and the absents of auy im portant demand, tho inequation in maay quarters has been to selL though no one has had the bravery to dee so freely. Tho fear is that the “bulls” a e working their cards to induce liberal additions to the "short” interest for a wee, or so, and then again put on the screws. -The general in fluences, botli foreign amj domestic, have shown nothing particular ly stimulating, and, taken altogether, th position, in ap pearance at Last, was weaje. On “ spots ” the business during tho ear lier portion of tho period i?nder review was quite limited aud confine,, almost exclus ively to small parcels puked up by spin ners to meet some urgent- necessity. Ex porters finding “short iLtices” cheaper than s tmplo lots negiecte.| ;he latter until they could buy at 13% gents, and then took enough to fill a ftf? orders await log this limit. The regular monthly count of stock made an aggregate of nearly 70,000 bales, of which, how ever, some 38,700 were on shipboard awaiting clearance, and thus verifying the statements of last week that shippers had received largely on contraot. This fact and not very encouraging advices from abroad have undoubtedly contributed to ward checking much fresh demand on for eign account. The available stock here has increased, and in nearly all case 4 was freely offered at declining prices,the falling off on quotations from the close on October 30th to present writing amounting to 1 1-l Ge. per lb. The amounts available' to arrive, too, have been liberal without many buyers, and stock at the Southern ports was offered very cheap at times. Assort ments few, and there is less difficulty ex perienced in making selections than a week or so ago. Sugar and Coffee. Sugars.—o, 10%; extra C, Italic; yel lows, 9%a10; A, 11%a11%.
