CANADA AND THE STEAMER CON-
GUESS*
Ottawa, Oct 0.—The Government has
!<en enquiring into the search of the steam
er Congress under U. S. colors, by the Brit-
is jj gunboat Rescue. Tho American Goveni-
W cnt has demanded an apology of the Erit-
jfh Consul at Buffalo, who informed the Gov
ernment that the Congress was a Fenian ves-
I >n d had been armed to attack the ship
ping
of tho ton ns an Lake Erie.
Cattle Powders.—Messrs. Zeilin & Co.,
pruggists, have presented us with a package
0 f Miller's celebrated '•Vegetable Cattle
powders,” a scientific vegetable compound,
ivhicl, > 3 ^id to ac t like magic upon tbc
health and flesh of animals, giving
them vigor and beauty, and in tbc cas:- of
cows, adding greatly to tlic product of milk
and Latter. We shall give it a trial, ant. re
port progress. .
Gold.—Gold has gone up to 140 3-4. The
explanation of the rise is tho tall of Five-
laenties abroad. These Five-twenties have
declined abroad, not in conseqcnce of the
threatening aspect of political aflalrs i;i this
country, as wc of the South are rather prone
to believe, but simply because the European
market is temporarily glutted with these
securities. The hip'll prices they have been
bringing caused American holders to send
them over in vast quantities.
Planters' Hotel, Augusta.—It will Iks
seen that this famous hotel, which enjoys the
rare reputation of having been a good one
throughout the war, has gone into the hands
of Mr. Nickerson-, and has been thorough’
cleansed and refitted. Mr. Nickerson is a
prince among landlords, as all who have
-topped at the Mills House, Charleston, in the
last ten years can testify, and wc arc glad to
know that our old friend Robbins lias so
rrorthv a successor.
•«.»
Messrs. Wrioi.ky & Knott.—We have
seen nothing the present season, that looks
more like business than the extensive Hard
ware and Fnmishing establishment ot this
firm, on Third Street. Their spacious store
is crammed from top to bottom with every
thing appertaining to tlicir line, thus proving
that, whatever others may believe, Messrs.
Wriglcy & Knott have faith in a large Fall
and Winter trade for Macon. Wc refer to
tlicir advertisement for particulars. Country
merchants and families needing supplies >n
their line, should give them n call.
Greenbacks Not a Leo at. Tender.—It
is stated in a despatch from New York, that
in a case relative to ground-rent, lately de
cided by Judge Alexander, of Maryland, the
validity of the act of Congress, making
greenbacks a legal tender in the payment of
debts, was involved. The Judge has filed the
opinion that Congress has no power to de
clare these notes legal tender. The decision
in a number of cases assimilating in princi-
ciple to this, are referred to as sustaining the
views presented by him. It was deemed a
matter of policy that the enactment should
be sustained, niut an appeal was taken to the
Court of Appeals ot that State whose de
rision will be looked to with great interest.
In ease the decision is sustained by the
Court of Appeals, tho question will be taken
to the Supreme Court of the United States
for further nrgnment.
Boy Fertilizers.—As negroes are no long
er a marketable commodity, and nobody who
has lands wishes to add to his acres, our
planters and farmers cannot find a more ad
vantageous investment lor their surplus earn
ings than the various fertilizers, or manures,
by which their lands may be kept up from
year to year, nnd actually improved instead
of being deteriorated by cultivation. This
should now b .• a leading idea with all, and
thoso who practice upon it will prosper most.
In this connection we would call attention
to tho card of Messrs. George Patten & Son,
factors and Commission Merchants of Savan
nah, who arc tho agents for Phillips’ Super
phosphate of Lime, one of the most valuable
of artifi rial manures, especially in the produc
tion of cotton. They are reliable gentlemen,
and we oommend the firm to our readers.
GEN. 8TEEDMAN ON THE IMPEACHMENT
QUESTION.
Wc are glad to sec that One man at the
North has had both the honesty and courage
to give a l>ccoming response to the thri at .of
impeachment, thnt has been given out l y the
mob of usurpers and political desperadoes,
who call themselves the “Thirty-Ninth Con
gress of the United States of America.” The
extract from Gen. Steedman’s speed* at
Toledo Ohio, will not fail to attract atten
tion. ft takesup the gauntlet thrown down
by the revolutionists, and tells them in plain
terms, come on if tlioy dare. Gen. Stoedman
says tbs President will not allow himself to
be impeached by such a “Radical mob,” and
that try it when they may, tho people will
be four.d standing at the back of the honest
patriot who is trying to save tho couutry
from tuin and administer the Government
upon t ie principles of the Constitution.
It, perhaps, may not be “policy” for South
ern men to say much on any topic that savors
of gunpowder, but wo must confess to a spe-
cirl admiration tor the ring of Gen. Steed-
man’s metal in this case. He talks like a
man, and in just the way the Radicals should
be talked to. It is best to be plain when
dealin j with such men. Ner was it a thought
less, huty, or passionate utterance. He is a
man who thinks before he speaks, and not the
man to "reckon without his hosts.” The
great matter now at stake in this country is
tho constitution, free government, tho very
essence of the institutions founded in the
blood of the revolution, and when the people
shall have had the scales struck from their
eyes, and the issue presented to them in ita
true light, the government and its friends
will not lack for defenders, be the war one of
words or bayonets.
The remarks of General Steedman will be-
found in another .column.
HT Gen. Pritchard, wbo captured Jeffer
son Davis, is a Republican candidate for
Congress from Michigan.
- At Tuno, a Japanese Prince, has arrived

Letter from Washington.
Washington, Oct. 3.1800.
Notwithstanding the anxiety of the Presi
dent, to abridge the time devoted to the re
ception of visitors, so as to allow him oppor
tunity to lay the groundwork of his annual
communication to Congress, he is daily be
sieged with gentlemen and delegations seek
ing audiences, with respect to the several mat
ters of interest usually brought to his atten
tion. A delegation of Virginians, who have
always occupied a position antagonistic te
the secession movement, original and unde-
viating Unionists, not of the Botts-Brown
low east, had an audience yesterday, and gave
to the President, assurance of their advocacy
of bis policy of reconstruction. They were
cordially received and assured by the Presi
dent that lie was us earnest as ever in his
position, not having seen anything to de
tract from tiie views which he had matured
relative to the reconstruction policy.
There is some official intimation that the
President will not confirm the action ot the
late Secretary of the Interior, Harlan, in dis
posing of 800,000 acres of valuable reserve
lands in Kansas, at the nominal price of one
dollar per acre. It is apparent that the
4ra»w»wtivw -wwwhwii a* ItM^w
to a monopoly, and the persistent opposition
ot the President to any monopoly in the pub
lic domain will doubtless cause him to set
aside the transaction, thereby frustrating the
purposes of parties prominent in position to
enricli themselves at the expense of the Gov
ernment.
Major-Gen. Avcrill has been appoint
ed to succeed the Radical Potter,
as Consul General at Montreal, Canada.
The new regulations issued at the office of
Internal Revenue, are of interest to all grow
ers of cotton. By the recent Act, the Secre
tary of the Treasury is authorized to Appoint
weighers of cotton of suitable capacity to
weigli nnd murk all cotton, prior to exporta
tion, ut the several localities designated for
weighing and marking.
All applications lor appointment-of weigh
ers must come from Assessors of Districts, to
gether witii the recommendations, and ure to
be addressed to the Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue. Each weigher will lie required
to take tho ontli prescribed by the act of
18C2. A metallic tag will hereafter be used
instead of the tux-paid tag, and a fee of 15
cents is to he charged for weighing, marking
and inserting the metallic tag.
General Santa Anna has been here on a
flying visit, and had an audience with Secre
tary Sewar< I. His visit was so incog., that he
Ins come nnd gone, without its being known
to the public. The purpose of the interview
has not transpired.
On motion of a man named Day, who has
been practising at the bar ot the Courts of
the District for tome years, a negro has been
admitted to practice ot the bur. The affair
excites much comment.
In a conversation last evening, between the
President and some friends, the matter of
threatened impeachment cnuie up. The Presi
dent was quite facetious about the threat,
and remarked that he had not studied and
analyzed the Constitution in vain; that he
knew well his prerogatives in the position he
occupied, under the panoply and direction of
that instrument, and wns well aware what the
people expected of him.
The practice heretofore extensively indulg
ed in by the clerks of the several Executive
Departments of leaving in mass for the States
prior to elections, is very little resorted to
new; the attaches being of opinion that a
manifest effort to paralyze the policy of the
up]K>inting power might work to their preju
dice. Potomac.
A. Place Where the Bureau is Needed.
—A correspondent of tho N. Y. Times has at
last found a place where the white people
desire a continuance of the Ffcedmcn’s Bu
reau. Writing from Edisto Island, S. C.,
Sept. 22d, he says:
“Whatever abuses or mismanagement may
have marked the administration of the
Frecdmen’s Bureau in other sections of
the South, it is very certain that, in this Sen
Island region, the discontinuance of its influ
ence is not now desired either by the whites
or by the blacks Indeed every intelligent
planter here with, whom I have conversed on
the subject, freely admits thnt without the
harmonizing agency of the Bureau, the work
of organizing nnd controlling the labor of
the freed people, difficult enough ns it is.
would, in the face of the thousand and one
queer ideas and prejudices with which the ne
groes have become imbued, lie an almost
hopeless task. The good judgment, strict in'
tegrity, nnd general efficiency uniformly dis
played by the present Bureau Commissioner
for this State. Gen. K. K. Scott, have afforded
so striking a contrast with the reign of con
fusion. extravagance and shameless pecula
tion whicl^ prevailed during the administra
tion of liia' predecessor, that the Bureau, for
merly the synonym of injustice nnd plunder
with the people hereabouts, is now regarded
by them os an institution, if not faultless, at
least conducted in a spirit of inirness and, in
the present anomalons condition of social
affairs, extremely useful to all classes.”
Threatened “Raid” from East Ten
nessee to Virginia.—Wc have been pained
to learn from the Abingdon Virginiun, that
a state of things is existing in East Tennessee
calculated to excite the deepest anxiety on
the part of the conservative clement of that
unfortunate section. For a time the livliest
hopes were entertained that harmony would
by degrees, he restored, and those who had
been enemies. 1> , .toulJ ...tU i.u,uu:
friends in peace; but wo Lsar such .hopes are
destined to be very short-lived. The Radical
element in several of the upper counties ' of
East Tennessee, is becoming very restive, and
unmistakable evidences arc being developed
that this ever r< stive class of citizens are
looking about for a pretext to make a de
scent upon the former “rebel” population
of that section. The pretext for this move
ment, which is fast moving to a develop
ment, is that the people of Southwestern
Virginia contemplate a movement upon East
Tennessc, with the refugee* from that section,
to reinstate them in their now despoiled
homes.
The report of a contemplated raid from
Southwestern Virginia into East Tennessee,
says the Virginian, is known by the base!
■fabricators of it to be false, maliciously false,
and is only a ruse adopted by tbc basest of
the baser sort of, men to excite their less sus
pecting neighbors, re-inaugurate a system of
rapine, murder and robbei$ upon innocent
men, who have returned to their homes, up
on assurances of protection.—Lynchburg Vir
ginian.

(BT THE CABLE.)
The game is thus properly opened on both
sides. You play the Bishop to this square in
preference to any other, because here it at
tacks your adversary’s Iv. B. P., which is the
weakest part of his game, that pawn being
defended by the King only. The same re
marks apply to your adversary’s second move.
8. Q B P one square 3 Q to K 21 sq
Your object in moving Q. B. P. is to been-
abed to play Q. P. two squares at your fourth
move; this’intention is foreseen by your ad
versary, and frustrated by his third move.—
You cannot now play Q. P. two squares with
out loss; as for example—
4 Q P two squares 4 P takes P
5 P takes P DO takes P checkin.;
6 Q to K 2d sq C Q takes Q
7 Kt takes Q 7 K B to Q Kt 3d sq
You have thus lost one pawn aud isolated
another—disadvantages which ought to lose
you the game.
Let us now retrace tiie last four moves, and
instead of moving Q P two squares at your
fourth move, you play
4 K Kt to B 3d sq 4QPleq
Your fourth move is now a very good one;
it places your Iv. Kt. in the best position lie
can occupy at the commencement of the game,
nnd gives you liberty to castle. Black’s tourtb
move is also good: it liberates his Q. B., and
gives ndditiouul support to K. P anil K. B.
5 Cafllles 5 K Kt to B 3d sq
By the important operation of castling you
place your King in a safe position and bring
a Rook into play. Remember that the more
pieces you have at liberty the greater will be
your powers of attack or defence, nlack plays
out is K. Kt. in good time to the best posi
tion, and intends to castle presently.
6. Q P two sq 0 K B to Q Kt 3d sq
Having castled you can play Q. P. two, not
only with perfect safety but with advantage.
By this move you liberate your pieces in pro
per order, and are ready to take advantage of
the first bad or lost more of your adversary.
He did quite right to retire with his B. to Q.
Kt. third. If he had taken P. with P., you
would also have taken P. withP., compelling
his B. to retreat, aud thus leaving you with
two pawns in the centre in a capital posi
tion. ,
7 Q B to K Kt 5th sq . 7 The same
Tiie object of this move is not oniy to bring
a valuable piece into play, but also to defend
your K. P from the attack of the Kt.; f or
you will observe that Black cannot more his
Kt. without exposing his Q. to the attack of
your Q. B. In the present instance he cannot
prevent you from doing so on account of the
position of his Q. Black makes a similar
move to your own iu order to get his Q. B.
into play and chauge off your Kt.
8. QKttqQ2Jsq
In order to maintain a Kt at your K. B.
third square, you bring out Q. Kt. If he now
take your K. Kt. with the B., yoti must not
retake with K. Kt. P., because you would
thereby expose your K. You would retake
with Q. Kt, and thus have the advantage of
a much better position. Black foresees this,
aud with the two-fold object of winning a
pawn and breaking up your centre pawns, he
plays
8 K P take* Q P
9-P takes P 9 KB takes P
You retake P. with P. because you cannot
move K. Kt. without losing your Q. For the
same reason he takes P. at your Q. fourth, and
docs win a pawn. But the move is a bad
one, as you will presently see. He ought to
have castled or moved his Q. Kt. to Q. se
cond.
10QloQKt3drq 10 K B toQ Kt 3d aq
You attack his Q. Kt P., whicli if he al
lows you to capture, you win also his Q. B.;
he therefore covers the Kt. P. by moving back
his K. B. You also bring another piece to
bear upon his K. B. P.
11 K P one eq . 11 P take* P
12 K Kt takes P
By advancing your K.P you attack his K
Kt, which cannot be moved on account of the
position of your Q B and Ills Q; he gets rid
of the attack for the moment by taking your
P with his Q P. You then retake P with K
Kt He dare not takeKt with his Q, bccauso
you would immediately play one of your
Rooks to K square, attacking both Q and K,
and it would be useless for him to interpose
Q IT at K seventh square, because you will
capture the B witii the B, and still win hisQ.
He therefore plays,
_ 12 Q B to K 3d sq
13 Q 9to K sq 13 Castles
You thus bring a powerful piece to assist ia
the attack, which he hopes to escape from by
castling—a privilege of which he ought to
have availed himself earlier.
14. Q Kt to K4th eq 14 K R to K sq
By this move you still further strengthen
your attack. Black moves his Rook in order
to strengthen the King’s file, where he thinks
the attack is likely to begin. Observe the
difference between your game and his—all
your pieces are usefully employed; his Q R
and Q Kt contribute nothing to the defence
of liis game, and even his K Kt cannot be
moved on account of your Bishop.
15 K Kt takes K B P 15 K to B sq
This is very fine play. When Black moved
away his R from tho defence of this pawn he
did not foresee this move. Black had three
other modes of playing, which we cannot
consider, all of wnicli lose. You have now a
won game before you.

oeen 2,500 bales Upland and 53 bales Sea Islands.
flU^WpTand, aa follows” To Providence, ’475
bales; to New Tork, 2,221 bales; and to Baltimore
256 bales Upland cotton—leaving on hand and on

o,U8S bales Upland mid 449 bales Sea Island cotton.
Daring the early part ot the week under review
the cottou market was quite active, ujd undei the
excitement produced by tclt grams lrom the North
and Europe, considerable transactions took place,
and nearly all on the market was disposed of. To
ward the close of tue week, however, the market
became very quiet, and but few sale* were report
ed. This state of aflalrs was, no doubt, produced
by the receipt of later advices and a failing off of
l@2c ou the prices paid ou Monday and Tuesday,
was the result. But little was done yesterday, anil
we quote Middling nominally at 38<(i39c per lb.

Stock on hand Oct. 5 3,257
Bacox—But little chauge has taken place in
the market for bacon since our last, but with the
ample stocks on hand and the limited demand
which has existed prices have a downward ten
dency. We renew our quotations of last week,
vix: Sides, 211 to 231c.; shoulders, 17} to 19c:;
haras, 23 to 27c. per pound.
Baggixg—The market has materially declined
since our last. This decline has evidently been
brought about by the necessity of parties holding
bagging at the North being compelled to throw
it on the market, and the small supply oi the
article in this country induces holders to believe
that prices will soon advance. About 11,200
bales are on shipboard at Calcutta and on the
way to this country, which, with the stocks in
New York and Boston, amounts to about 22,000
bates, and this comprises the bulk of the supply
in this country, the price of which can scarcely
be affected by a short crop. We quote at 35 to
36}c. for Gunny; Dundee 35 to 40c.; Tucker,
Carter & Co., 40 to 45c.
Butteii—The improvement noticed in our last
has been maintained throughout the week, and
the market closes to-day with a somewhat bet
ter feeling. The demand has been more general
and steady.* Wo quote Western 3S to 45c.;
Goshen 40 to 45c. per pound.
Coffee—Tho market for coffee remains about
the same a» at the date ot our Iasi report; the
stock has not been materially increased, and the
demand remains about the same. We therefore
renew our quotations, viz: Rio 27 to 31c.; SL
Domingo, 26 to 29c.: Java, of which there is but
little in the market, 40 to 44c. per pound.
Flour—The improved demand for this article,
and the recent advance in the New York market,
has produced their cllcct on our market, and hold
ers have not only advanced their prices, but evince
much firmness and a disposition to still further in
crease their figures. We quote superfine, $8 50@
10; extra, $11@13 50; family, $14@16; Georgia
flour, from new wheat, $15@19.
Fish—'There lias been an improvement iu FUU
during the week, and with a somewhat active de
mand prices have advanced, and the market is firm
und prices stiff. We quote No. 1 Mackerel, iu
kits, $3 25(33 75; hall-bbls, *12 50(313; No. 2, in
kits, *3@3 50; half-bbls, $11(311 to. Herring is
in better request at at 90c@11 for No. 1, and*l @
1 25 for scaled. Codfish, new, 10c ft lb.
Grain—The Grain market bas been quite firm
this week in conseqnence of the advices lrom the
West ot an unfavorable nature, and the recent ad
vance in the Northern markets in bread6tuffsofaIl
descriptions. Thu stock of Corn has not been ma
terially increased during the week. We have heard
of no sales from, the wharf, bat a prime art’.cle'uf
white is quoted at $1 35@1 40 from store; y'How,
$1 20@1 25; mixed, $1 20. Oats, which is in good
supply, is selling lrom store at 80@85c; Bran, *175
@3 ft sack of 4 bushels.
Hay—The stock ot Hay has been materially in
creased by thegtrrival ol several parcels daring the
w eek, and although the demand is quite light hold-
era exhibit much firmness. Wc quote—$1 f*5@l 70
from the whart, and *1 75@1 80 from store for
Northern, and $1 90@2 tor Eastern.
Lime—A considerable stock of this article is now
on the market, for which there is little else than a
retail demand. Wc quote 1 he article at $2 2o@2 50
$ bbl, according to quality.
Laths—Are in good request at $G , lor Savannah
and $6 50 for Northern.
Lcmbeb axd Timber.—But little has been done
this week in cither of the articles under thia
bead, owing to tiie light receipt* and the’conse-
quent want of employment of the mills, which
are cow only working on small orders. Wc
quote yellow pine boards $25a30, and $35a55 for
for white pine lumber, undressed and dressed;
ranging timber$13a25, according to size,and$lt
al5 for mill timber.
