A called meeting of the Cavalry Sur vivors’ Association was held last night to complete arrangements for the per formance to be given for the benefit of the Association by Happy Cal Wagner’s Minstrels, next Thursday evening. The affair promises to be a complete suc cess and prove of great advantage to the veterans by placing their organiza tion on a firm basis. Members who desire to dispose of tickets are request ed to call on the Treasurer, Captain N. K. Butler to-day and obtain them. Each member is constituted a commit tee of one to induce his lady friends to lend their influence in forwarding the objects of the Association. “ Saratoga.” Hall’s Combination appeared last night for the second time this season, and put upon the boards the above play. It is one that is strikingly sen sational, and while it may give a cor rect photograph of life at Saratoga, we cannot say that the play is one that tends to teach such a moral as the people in this part of the country admire. There are many things in the play that are calculated to bring down the “gods of the gallery,” but we saw a number of ladies whom we rather thought slight ly objected. So much for the play. The company is undoubtedly a strong one and all that could be desired. It is almost impossible in a combination like this one to make distinctions, where ail are so proficient, but we must mention a few of the more pro minent characters. Miss Gilman, as “ Efifie Remington,” the belle of the Union, was charming, and from the frequent applause with which she was greeted was evidently a favorite. “Virginia Vanderpool”, Miss Agnes Proctor, is evidently an accom plished actress, and withal, is exceed ingly handsome and graceful. Miss Minnie Monk is an old favorite on our stage, and as “Olivia Alston, the Widow of the Period,” fully sustained her former reputation.. Miss Emma Pierce, as “Lucy Carter, the Bride,” certainly looked exceedingly charming, and her acting was received with shouts of applause. “Mrs. Vander poui,” Mrs. J, H. Rogers, and “Mrs. Gaylover,” Miss May Taylor, were both capital. Mrs. Stoddart, as “Muffins,” in telling what she knew, afforded the audience much merriment and showed she was an actress of some merit. The “Robert Sackett” of Mr. James, the man of many loves and much prospective duelling, was good, he is a fine actor; while Thomas Whif fin, as “Jack Benedict,” kept the house in continued roars of laughter. The “Papa Vanderpool” of Fred. Chippen dale, was a complete piece of acting and could not have been better. E. B. Homes, as “Wm. Carter;” J. D. Germon, as “Remington” pere, Geo. Stoddard, as “Sir Mortimer Mutton leg;” E. Coleman, as “Cornelius Weth ertree,” and in fact, all of the other characters were well and handsomely sustained, and we only wish we had space togive them a more extended no ice. The company will give a matinee this afternoon, at which will be played, London Assurance, and we advise all who want to see a fine play well rendered, to go. To-night we have Frou Frou, when there ought be a crowded house. Novel Burglar Trap. On Thursday night, the store of ■William M. Wilkinson on the Milledge viHe road, a few miles from Augusta, was entered by burglars, but they were frightened off by a patent spring gun which was a shutter. Cotton movements yesterday: 1,717 kales received; bale* sold. THE FATAL DUEL. Death of Mr. Tilly-His Dying Words, “I Forgive Him”—Statement from Mr. Ratcliffe--The Law of Georgia on Duelling. It was apparent yesterday morning j to Dr. DeS. Ford, who was attending Mr. Tilly, that his condition was some- ; what alarming, and the wounded man, as he calmly laid on his bed in a cham ber opening off the dining room, in the basement of the dwelling of Mrs. M. E. Delaigle on the corner of Greene and Monument streets, was the least moved of any person present. From the first, Mr. Tilly was of opinion that he had received his death wound. His real condition was not officially declared we are informed, by the attending sur geon until last evening. All through the day, every thing that the promp tings of the kind hearts of his friends could suggest, was done to alleviate the sufferings of the dying man, and in re ply to a request from Mrs. Delaigle, that he should take some nourishment in the shape of beef tea, Mr. Tilly look ed at her and said, “It’s no use, Mrs. Delaigle; lam dying.” Several times during the day Mr. Tilly spoke of his adversary, Mr. Ratcliffe, and said he forgave him most freely. Towards the latter part of the afternoon it was given out that Mr. Tilly was near death, although he was conscious, but suffered considerable pain. A messen ger was dispatched for the Rev. Dr. Clarke, the pastor of St. Paul’s Episco pal Church, who quickly responded to the call. He reached the dying man’s bedside about six o’clock, and at once entered upon the solemn duty of pre paring the mind of Mr. Tilly for death. “ The fainting soul stood ready winged for flight, And o’er his eyeballs swam the shades of night.” After administering the consolations of religion, Mr. Tilly conversed with the reverend gentleman on the subject of religion. He expressed a fervent hope that God would forgive him, as freely as he forgave his late antagonist. At the earnest request of Mr. Tilly the clergyman recited the Lord’s Prayer, in company with Mr. Tilly, while all who were present knelt down by the bed. It was a most affecting sight, and its remembrance will no doubt be carried to # the grave by all who were there present. The few moments left to the dying man were then spent in conveying mes sages to his relations in Ireland, and calmly, at 8:10 p. m., his spirit winged its flight to the God who gave it. We at the sad approach of death shall know, The truth which from these pensive num bers flow, That we pursue false joy, and suffer real woe. Immediately after the death of Mr. Tilly, a post mortem was held by Dr. DeS. Ford, assisted by Dr. W. H. Doughty, Dr. Robert Eve and Dr. G. A. Wilcox, and it was found the course of the ball was on a line with the hips, clear through the stomach, cutting through the smaller intestines. The body was then turned over to the undertaker, and as it lay on the bed we were struck with its appearance. He was certainly one of the finest specimens of physical manhood we ever saw, and his skin had the appearance of polished marble. From General Scott, Mr. J. W. Harris, Captain Daniel, and others of Mr. Tilly’s friends, we learned that he was born June 16,1845, and was, there fore, thirty years of age. He was born in Carlow, Ireland, and entered Dublin University at an early age, and finished his education in Palis. He came to the United States about ten years ago, and in 1869 was induced to come here by Maj. Branch, of the firm of Branch, Scott & Co‘, in whose employ he continued until 1873, when he entered upon busi ness on his own account. He was al ways noted as a business man of ener gy and correctness. It is said he has an uncle who is a clergyman of the Established Church, in Ireland. His mother and father have been dead for some years. A sister is said to be married to an English nobleman. The funeral will take place on Sun day at three o’clock p. m., from St. Paul’s Church. What Mr. Ratcliffe Says. Yesterday morning we had an inter view with Mr. Ratcliffe in the law office of a friend of his. He was extremely pale and trembled, and spoke of the matter with great regret. He said he could not help himself in the matter, but was compelled to fight. In reply to a request for a statement to be pub lished, he said he would send some thing to the Constitutionalist office. At a late hour last night the following statement wa3 furnished us by a friend of his : Mr. Ratcliffe’s position in the unfor tunate affair that has recently occurred is this : In the first place, the rumors repeated by him were common rumors that had run through a series of years, and therefore to give any authority for them, in reply td Mr. Tilly’s demand, was an impossibility. His note in reply (contains the above explanation,) to this demand was so worded, respect fully, and his reasons for not comply ing given. Mr. R. and his friends were surprised that this reply, contain ing at least, a measure of ex planation, should meet with the construction it did of “ adding insult to injury,” and that it should have elicited alone the response of a peremptory challenge for satisfaction, and can only be accounted for by him, by the information that Mr. T. was advised to the course, on the ground that a fight (“blood or exile”) was necessary on his part to vindicate him self against this rumor. Mr. R, there fore, being as it were the most eligible party, was selected. What other re ply could Mr. R. make? What was left him to make to Mr. T.’s unfortunate note, coupling, as it did, the demand with a threat? Was not the reply pacific and charitable under the cir cumstances? Did it merit the perempto ry challenge from Mr. T? In his second note, accepting the challenge, he nega tives, as far as possible, that he had placed any wrong upon Mr. TANARUS., by the words: “For the affront you seem to think has been placed upon you.” So that it is clearly shown that Mr. Ratcliffe was the victim and the party selected by Mr. T. to fight, andjthus vindicate his good name. So that Mr. Ratcliffe claims that his position was one that could not be avoided, and his own conscience and his friends acquit him of any responsibility iu the matter. Georgia Law on Duelling. constitution. Section 5,032. Duelling— No person who, after the adoption of this Constitution, be ing a resident of this State, shall engage in a duel in this State, or elsewhere, or shall send or accept a challenge, or be aider or abettor to such duel, shall vote or hold office in thin State; and every such person shall, also, be subject to such punishment as the law may prescribe.

Cotton remains steady. The cold snap of last night was far from agreeable. The chicken fighting has been trans ferred to the Fair Grounds, and con tests are held there daily. We acknowledge the receipt of Pe terson’s, Demorest’s, and Harper’s Magazines, Godey’s Lady’s Book and Harper’s Weekly, from A. F. Pendle ton, and Harper’s Magazine, from W. T. Richards & Son. There was a report current last eve ning that a gentleman residing in the lower part of the city had committed suicide. Owing to the lateness of the hour, we were unable to obtain the par ticulars of the case. Mrs. Lewis, who is canvassing the city for Appleton’s publications, Pic turesque America and Art Journal, is doing remarkably well. It is not sur prising, as she is a lady of extremely pleasant manners, and with her tact, and having splendid works of art to talk about, she easily interests the public in the objects of her mission. THE COURTS. SUPERIOR COURT. December 17th. In the case of Kate B. Kerr et al. vs. Frank M. White as Executor, and Thomas W. White as Trustee, bill dis missed. In the case of Joseph Smith vs. Port Royal Railroad, a suit for $5,000 dama ges for injury inflicted on the plaintiff who was an employe of the company, the jury found for the defendants. The following orders were entered : James T. Bothwell and Samuel W. Mays assignees of Jennings, Smith & Cos. us. Jesse M. Turpin, award con firmed; Hester Mims vs. the South Carolina Railroad Company, new trial granted ; J. F. & L. J. Miller vs. Mills Johnson & Cos., a motion for new trial be heard in vacation. The State vs. Hardy Ryals sentenced to five years in penitentiary for bur glary, new trial granted. The State vs. Jack Williams found guilty of burglary, motion for anew trial denied. There were no cases assigned, and juries will be drawn to-day. recorder’s court. For trying to “stir up a fuss,” John Auburne was fined $5 and costs. Chas. Bunhurt started a fight with D Rupert, and each paid a fine of $5. William Sienna, for acrobatic whiskey ing, was fined $5. The ease of J. Sum mons, for contempt of court, was con tinued. Mr. Pendleton. Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton returned to the city from Columbia, S. C., last eve - ning, having been summoned to return by a telegram from Mrs. Pendleton, giving him the information that his daughter’s sickness had developed into a serious case of scarlet fever. We had a few moments’ conversation with the distinguished statesman last evening, and learned from him that he was given a most cordial reception in South Carolina. On visiting the Legislature, it was officially announced to both branches of that body, and a commit tee was appointed to wait on Mr. Pen dleton, and offer him tho official courtesies of tho privileges of the floor. A short recess was taken, and many of the members were presented to Mr. Pendleton. He is somewhat reticent as to his opinion of the “black and tan” officials whom he saw there. It is not unlikely Mr. Pendleton will remain here about two weeks. He intended to have visited Charleston, had he not been summoned to return from Columbia. No doubt the Democrats of Charleston will much regret that they will not have the op portunity of listening to the eloquence of the Ohio statesman. Broad Street Note. . The Fredericksburg-Dry Goods Store, now one of the institutions of Augusta, was, we are informed by tho proprie tors—Messrs. Y. Richards ;<& Bro.— named after the old town of fiiat name, on the Rapahannock river, m Virginia, where they commenced business for themselves in the year 1850, and which they continued with great success up to the time the war broke out. Du ring 1861 they turned their effects into money as fast as they could, and in vested it in cotton in this section, pur chasing the most of it on the plantation from the planters, with an understand ing that they were to hold if until call ed for. This many of then* did until after the war closed, at which time it was sold for a handsome profit ; and this was the means of giving them an other start, as all their property in Fredericksburg, at the time it was captured, or invaded, in De cember, 1862, was destroyed or car ried off. When the war ended they decided to make Augusta their home and future place of business, and, pur chasing the lot No. 301 Broad street, on the corner by the Planters’ Hotel, they, on the sth day of July, 1866, broke ground for a brick building one hundred and twenty feet long by thirty feet wide, and three stories high. On the first day of October following, less than three months, they were in it with a large stock of goods, and though it was freely predicted they could not do much business so high up town, it was a success from the start, and whilst they thought at first tho coorns they occupied were ample for any business they would be able to do, it increased so rapidly, and to accommodate it, in a few years they were compelled to make a large addition to their building four stoiies high, the upper floors of which they now use as wholesale rooms, and for duplicato goods for their retail de partments. They inform us that their retail sales alone for the last four years have reached near a quarter of a million of dollars per annum. They keep a force constantly employed, including the members of the firm, of about twenty persons. A . few years ago they added anew feature to their business, by offering to send samples of any goods that could be sampled, to persons living at a distance, and to do so properly organized a regular sample department, from which they sent sam ples to all persons applying for them, and to encourage orders agreed to pay the freight on all packages of goods ordered from their Retail Department, provided the order amounted to ten dollars or over, the cash to accompany the order or the amount to be collected on delivery of the goods. To gain the confidence of the people, they had to work hard and attend closely to their orders, but they iuform us the plan has proved a great succes and they are now daily iu receipt of or ders from persons living all over the South. To give some idea of this portion of their business, they iuform U3 that in the last twelve months they have paid the Express Company alone near $2,000 for freight on packages sent out iu this way.— They do not pay freight on goods when purchased in person, as goods so pur chased takes the time of a salesman, which time costs them more than the freight they would have to pay on goods when ordered and to : be put up by those who attend to this portion of the business. They also inform us that they consider as one of the secrets of their success, their adhestou to the cash system, both in buying and sell ing, as by paying cash they can always get goods at the bottom prices, and by selling for cash can give their custom ers the utmost value to which their ready money entitles them, and this makes them customers. Their holiday stock is very complete and includes a large assortment of toys and fancy goods. <•> A drunken white man had his right arm broken yesterday, near the two mile crossing on the Georgia Railroad. He was riding on horseback when the engine whistled as it was passing the crossing, which scared the horse, and he started and threw the man and broke his right arm. A pair of horses attached to a coun try wagon ran away near South Boundary yesterday, and the wagon was badly smashed by contact with a tree. Dr. Pierce.— “ Success is never achieved without merit.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE AU GUSTA MARKETS. Constitutionalist Office, 1 6 o’clock P. M., December ITth, 1875. f Remarks. Trade has been remarkably good nearly all the week, especially the wagon trade. It has been a “small” trade, which has in the aggregate proved to be quite large. Collections have been good, and merchants generally speak hopefully of the situation. In cotton manufactured goods, there is a' better demand for the cheaper goods. Flour is a little more stiff, with a firm de mand for the finer grades. In cotton, the market has been ac tive. An advance of %c. has taken place. Although the receipts are quite they consist again, to a considerable ex tent, of low grades, whilst the demand is running particularly on the higher grades. Both low middling and New York middling have shown a good deal of firmness during the past week, and the general impression is, that the advance established will be sus tained. Financial.
