evening, April 26th.
The Spelling Bee. —ln consequence
of the inclement weather last night,
the “Bee” was postponed until Thurs
day evening next, 29th inst.
For the Corner Stone, —A ten pound
note of the provincial currency of
South Carolina, issued in 1775, has
been presented to the Ladies’ Memori
al Association by Mrs, Eliza Moore, of
this city, to be placed in the corner
stone of the Confederate monument,
on Decoration Day, Monday next.
The Bremond Specialty Combination
will appear at Girardey’s Opera House
next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day nights. The programme offered is
a very fine one indeed. The splendid
cornet band of this troupe have
offered their services to assist in fur
nishing music for Decoration Day.
Personal. —H. I. Kimball, Esq., of
Atlanta, was in the city yesterday,
stopping at the Planters' Hotel. He
was engaged during the day in inspect
ing our factories and investigating the
sources of the water supply needed for
the purpose of running our mills and
factories. Several gentlemen accom
panied him in making the visits.
Decoration Day. —The ladies are ac
tively engaged in making preparations
for Decoration Day, though the bad
weather has, in a measure, retarded
their operations. The Masonic choir
is practising frequently for the occa
sion. The Grand Master of the Ma
sonic Fraternity, finding it impossible
to be present in person, has issued a
dispensation authorizing the Hon. Wm.
T. Gould to act in his place in the per
formance of the necessary duties of
the office in the laying of the corner
stone of the proposed Confederate
Monument. The ceremonies on Deco
ration Day promise to bo most inter
esting indeed, and the events of that
day will be long remembered.
Superior Court. —Court met at 9:30
o’clock yesterday morning, Judge
Tompkins presiding, when the follow
ing business was disposed of: Jordan
Pepper for the use of wife vs. Robert
D. Boyd; verdict for plaintiff of $75.
State vs. George Miles—Larceny from
the house; verdict of not guilty. Mar
garet Lewis vs. Paul H. Lewis—Libel
for divorce; verdict for plaintiff grant
ing a total divorce. O. T. Williams vs.
A. W. Atkinson—Appeal from magis
trate’s court, complaint; non suit.—
Court adjourned until 9:30 o’clock this
morning. The grand jury met at 10 a.
m. yesterday, and continued in session
nearly all day. It adjourned late in
the afternoon until 9:30 o’clock this
morning. The jury must have trans
acted a considerable amount of busi
ness, as-they were in continuous ses
sion during the day, not even taking a
recess for dinner. The presentments
will probably be made iu open court
to-day.
The Concert Monday Night. —The
programmeof the Grand Instrumental
Concert, to be given by the celebrated
Post Band of Columbia, S. 0., Monday
night, for the benefit of the Richmond
Hussars, is published this morning. It
is a very fine one, indeed, and embraces
many choice pieces of anisic. The
Band is considered one of the best in
the South, and the music, as rendered
by it, considered superb. The Bre
mond Specialty Company, which had
engaged the Opera House for Monday
night some time previous, have, with
commendable generosity, waived their
right to its possession on that night, on
account of the concert to be given for
the benefit of the Richmond Hussars,
and also tendered their splendid cornet
band to the Ladies’ Memorial Associa
tion to furnish music on Decoration
Day. This is a most commendable act
and should be appreciated.
ANOTHER SHOOTING AFFAIR.
A Young Colored Man Shot in the
Breast.
A youug colored man named John
Nash was shot in the right breast
yesterday afternoon—a small pistol
ball entering just at the right
nipple. The shooting occurring just
inside of the yard of a house on
the Milledgeville road, about two miles
from the city near Jessup’s tannery.
From what we could learn of the affair,
it appears that John Nash, a young
colored man, aged about 20 years, was
sitting in this house, when about five
o’clock a party of six colored men came
by and called him out, and ased him
if he did’nt want to take a drink. When
he went out into the front yard, our
informant, a brother of Nash, who
was in the house, states that he
heard a pistol shot as he reached
the door and heard his brother
say “I am a dead man.” The man
who is alleged to have shot Nash is
named William Payne. It is said this
man, who is about 18 or 20 years old,
was seen with a pistol in his hand just
as the shot was fired, and immediately
ran off up the road—throwing the pis
tol in a field. The other members of
the party ran after him, with a col
ored man named John Lowe, who came
out of his house near by, and also
Special Constable W. J. Jenkins —one of
the party having a shot gun in his hand.
Lowe succeeded in capturing Payne
after running several hundred yards,
and turned him over to Constable Jen
kins. Payne was placed in Mr. Jen
kins’ wagon and brought to the city.
He was committed to jail by Justice
W. W. Smythe, to await the result of
the injury to the wounded man. The
pistol was picked up in the field where
it was thrown, and proved to be a small
Smith & Wesson pistol.
Nash, after being shot, leaned for
ward and placed his left hand on his
right breast, where he was shot. He
was assisted to his home, which is
nearly opposite the house in front of
which the shooting occurred.
His brother was immediately dis
patched for a physician and soon re
turned with Dr. Habersham. Two
other physicians were also summoned.
Dr. Habersham, wo learn, after exami
nation, stated that it was hardly possi
ble for the wounded man to live, as
the wound was very severe. The ball
has probably not yet been found.
Payne appeared to be drunk when
arrested and carried before Justice
Smythe. In fact the whole party seem
ed to be on a spree. His companions
left and went off the road after his
capture. Their names have been ob
tained and they will be summoned as
witnesses.
Constable Jenkins, who assisted
Nash to his house, says he spat blood
at the gate, indicating that the wound
is very severe. Payne will probably
be brought before Justice Smythe this
morning for examination, unless the
condition of Nasi) is unfavorable.
DECORATING THE GRAVES.
Notice to the Ladies.
The inclement weather prevented the
ladies from meeting at the Cemetery
yesterday afternoon. The officers will,
if the day is favorable, be at the Sol
diers’ Section this afternoon at five
o’clock, and will be pleased to have all
ladies expecting to assist in the deco
rations on Monday to meet them there
at that time. However, if the weather
prevents an attendance to-day, it is
earnestly desired that every lady and
child wiil bring some flowers, (if only
a few can be had), with evergreen, to
the section on Monday morning, early
as possible, so that every grave may
have some floral tribute placed upon it.
A cold rain set in early yesterday
morning, making the weather very dis
agreeable indeed. The rain continued
nearly all day. The thermometer at
the City Hall registered at 7:15 a. m.,
50 degrees,and at 4:16 p. m., 47 degrees.
‘ WHO WAS HER FATHER-WHO,
WAS HER MOTHER?”
A Lost Georgia Child Hunting for
Her Parents.
We have received the following let
ter, which fully explains itself. It
bears every mark of truth and sin
cerity, and we hope our Georgia ex
changes willjgive it publicity:
Pittsburgh, April 18,1875.
Mr. Editor : Will you please put a
notice in your paper, and have the pa
pers in your State do the same, for me,
as I am a child supposed to be born
of Georgia parents ; born in the city of
Philadelphia, Penn., on the Eleventh
Street Drove Arch, in the year 1852,
November 23d ; then left in the care
of Mr. and Mrs. Richard H. Thorn, No.
78 Adams street, Frankford, Philadel
phia ; being born in the house of Dr.
Wilson, on Eleventh street, and living
with Mr. Richard H. Thorn until the
4th of February, 1875 ; then married to
a very respectable gentleman of Pitts
burgh, Peun., by the name of Mr. Wil
liam C. John, residing on the corner of
Twenty-fifth street and Pennsylvania
avenue. I have oftime3 been impress
ed to write or try to do something to
find out as to whom I belong to, but, be
coming quite discouraged, I would
think all efforts in vain. I hope they
have not forgotten me. I have not for
gotten them, nor ever will. They
have been in my mind daily ever since
I knew I was not Mrs. Thorn’s own
child. I have some slight recollection
of the gentleman who came twice a
year to pay my board until I was six
years and six months old; then, at
seven years, was to come and take me
to a boarding school. But alas, he did
not come !—nor have I ever heard tell
of him since, when he would come.
Mrs. Thorn would often try to get some
information from him. He would then
say, “ There is no use of you trying to
find out whom the child belongs to, for
you never will.” But I am told this
gentleman who paid my board wished
to have me christened in the Episcopal
church. Ido not understand what it
meant, unless it was to keep a clue to
me. I sincerely hope it was. Though
my mother deserted me, I cannot but
help loving her, whoever she is. Mr.
Editor, please do all you can. If I
should ever find out whom I belong to,
I would thank God in heaven for it
and your kindness. It grieves me to
know I had no one in this world to
own me. If you can not find out whom
I belong to, please return this letter to
Mr. Wm. C. John, corner of Twenty
fifth street and Pennsylvania avenue,
Pittsburgh, Pa. I have grown up to
be a very respectable young lady, and
married to Mr. William C. John, of
Pittsburgh, Alleghany county, Pa. —
Please send us a copy of your paper
with this in it. Please send me your
charges, and I will remit the' same.
Please answer.
Yours with respect,
Mrs. Ida Virginia John.
THEN AND NOW.
1775 and 1875.
(Courier-Journal.)
Standing on the border of the North
and South, and looking over the short
space of a year, regardful of the atti
tude of the Federal Government and
the condition of the Southern people,
the retrospect ia not unlike that which
preceded the year of Concord and
Lexington. There have been enact
ments which no impartial jurist or fair
minded man has approved, and which
our highest courts are beginning
to undermine. There 'have been at
tempted and accomplished usurpations
which may not even be excused,though
that is all that is claimed for
them. There has been the same disre
gard of the rights of the State govern
ments. There has been the same at
tempt to lay violent hands on the writ
of habeas corpus and to substitute mili
tary for civil authority. On the other
hand, there have been the same assur
ances of loyalty, the same proffers of
friendship, and all has been met, with
out even the provocation of resistance,
with the cry of “Disperse, ye rebels,
disperse” with which Major Pitcairn
saluted the Concord men as he flourish
ed his horse pistol in the air just one
hundred years ago last Monday morn
ing.
If we are to draw inspiration from
the Centennial of ’75 for the great Cen
tennial of ’76, let us go back to that
greater period that preceded both, and
learn again what the Revolution meant,
and ask ourselves if we have preserved
all that our fathers left us as the fruits
of their valor. If we can do this In the
next year, the Centennial of 1876 will
have a significance which the Centen
nial of 1875 fails to carry to the public
mind.
Like to Obtain. —No doubt the pub
lic would like to obtain* what it re
quires at as cheap a rate as possible,
and many times are induced to pur
chase the cheapest articles they can
procure, overlooking the fact that al
though professedly cheapest they are
in reality the dearest in the end. Take
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder and
his True Flavoring Extracts, and they
may cost a few cents more than the
common kinds, yet they are the cheap
est, for they require one-third less in
quantity, and when used in cakes, pies
puddings, &c., make them splendid and
also wholesome. We have yet to see
the housewife that was not satisfied
with these articles. As there are pow
ders sold in bulk for Dr. Price’s—which
are not his—be sure to get the genu
ine, put up in cans securely labelled,
and made only by Steele & Price.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Weekly Review of the Augusta Mar
kets.
Augusta, Ga„ (
Friday Afternoon, April 23, 1875. }
General Remarks.
The markets for the week ending this af
ternoon in the various lines of provisions,
was only fair to middling, whilst Dry Goods
and the products of home ana foreign man
ufactories have ruled dull. Nor has the
weather been at all propitious. Another
“Polar wave” came down upon us yester
day almost severe enough for frost. To
day the rain has been steadily falling, ren
dering streets and roads very muddy. Ba
con is very firm aud higher. It has al
ready reached a high figure, with dealers
insisting that it has not yet culminated.
The late frost has been turned to good ac
count by grain men, the market for the
past three days is now rapidly ad
vancing, both South and West. Wheat and
Flour, so long depressed, kicked and cuff
ed, and treated with the severest neglect, if
not contempt, have, by this stroke of na
ture, rallied to the front and command
the highest respect. “ Firm, active, high
er,” follow their quotations throughout
the country. Millions upon millions of
bushels of Wheat and thousands of bar
rels of Ftour are changing hands every
day upon speculation at the great grain
centres. We refer the reader to the de
tailed quotations below, and the general
telegrams for the closing situation to
night.
The Financial Situation.
“ There is plenty of money in bank but
few collaterals offering,” said an officer
this morning. In the general community
there is more or loss complaint of scarcity.
Yet, as a rule, bills are met by good men
with fair promptness. The great need of
this and all other commercial cities in the
United States is confidence. There is a
general want of faith in almost everything
—nothing scarcely promising sufficient
yield to warrant the hazard of investment
beyond an apology for business. To use a
nautical phrase, men in business are not
trying to go ahead, but simply holding
their steerage. All intelligent Northern
financiers are agreed that nothing short of
a political revolution of the Government, a
change of President and all that follows,
will once more unloose capital and start
the nation forward upon a career of
prosperity. “Do nothing but keep what
you have in hand until a iter the next Pres
idential election ” seems to be the advice of
the great monied institutions. But we do
not share in the opinion of many that the
coming Summer will be one of unusual
dullness. There is an underlying current
of sagacity predicting a good, even-goiug
trade. It is predicated upon the fact that
all of $12,000,000 have been and will be paid
out here for cotton during the season, and
that the drain upon tnis sum of money has
so far been far loss than any season for a
long number of years; that it has been
held in reserve foi the expected dull Sum
mer, and when it comes it will be turned
loose and we will have no dullness at all.
The Stock and Bond Market.
The demaAd for State of Georgias, for
Augustas and Savannahs, and for Georgia
Railways is steady, with a limited amount
offering. The securities continue firm and
readily command sales when thrown up
on the mnrket.
Advances Upon Crops.
The number of applications are fifty to
one more than are accommodated, and
every day witnesses planto.a going back
with empty wagons. We do really wish
some measures could be adopted by which
they could be relieved. In many instances
deserving men will be forced to greatly
curtail if not abandon their plantations
unless they can obtain supplies. They
must, however, remember that their only
permanent relief from embarrassment will
come from raising enough provisions to
do them.

Augusta Cotton Market.
The cotton market during the week clos
ing to-day has hardly presented any fea
tures of Interest that might bo enlarged
upon. The tone lias been fairly steady
without the least change in pricos since
last Friday, and so far as wo have seen
there are at present no indications of an
early rise. Receipts are each week de
creasing, and tne sales only keeping pace
with them. Planters are generally pre
paring for the new crop, though consider
ably retarded in farming operations by the
late Spring and present bad weather
Those who have cotton held iu reserve are
apparently now only shi pping to market
as their necessities require, aud selling at
present prices.
We compile the following regarding the
market from the daily reports of the Au
gusta Exchange for the week:
Saturday the market was quiet, though
a rather fair demand resulted in good
sales on the basis of the closing prices of
last week—Good Ordinary, 14%; Low Mid
dling, 15%; Middling, 15%. Monday it was
quiet and easy with light demand and
small sales at unchanged prices, luesday
it was unchanged in tone or prices.
Wednesday and Thursday it was dull with
prices easy but not quotably lower, while
to-day (iYiday), it continued in the same
state and closed without change from the
prices first given above.
The following are the receipts and sales
of each day, commencing Saturday, with
the ruling quotations of Low Middling and
Middling:
