We have heretofore said but little, thro» the columns of our paper, about the mar kets, either at home or abroad. The time haa com© for us to spur up on this subject* We hope, in the future, to be able to quote regularly the prices of leading articles, as follows: Cotton. -Up to the 9th inst., New York quotations were from 20$ to 21$ cents. New Orleans, 9th, 19$. Baltimore, 9th, 20$. . Wilmington, 9th, 19|. Norfolk, 9th, 19$. Boston, 9th, 21$. Savannah,9th, 19. Charleston, 9th, 19. Mobile, 9th, 19$. Galveston,’9th, 17$. Augusta, 9th, 19$ to 19$. Memphis, 9th, 20. * Philadelphia, 9th, 20$ to 21. Atlanta, 10th, Cotton, 18 & 18$. Cartersville, 11th, two new bales receiv ed on Friday and Saturday last, the first was sold to W. J. Williford, at 18$ cents. The above markets all quote cotton firm and steady at the figures attached, except the last named market, which, owing to the fact that it was the first bale of the new crop, sold a shade higher than the mar ket price. The latter bale was sold on Sat urday last at 17$. We quote the market at from 17$ to 18 cents for new. M/e quote Corn at 70 cents per bushel; M heat from sl. to $1.60, wide margin ; Hay $26 per ton; Bacon, shoulders 8 to 10, clear rib sides 9 to 11, clear sides 10 to 11, hams canvassed 17 to 18; lard 13 ceuts per lb., Butter 20 to 25; Eggs 15 to 20; chickens 26 to 30 cents, in this market. The three last named article* very scarce. Lumber from $12.60 to $16.00 per M ft. Lime 40 to 60 cents per bushel. Corn meal sl.; Flour from 4 to 7 cent*; wheat bran 1 oent lb.; Sugar 12 to 16 cents; coffee 17 to 26; syrup from 76 to sl.; Salt $2.26 per eack.

Smith, Mr. F, H t/onner to Mies Susan Ray, all of this town •far Many of our people are at the North* spending their money and leisure hours at Niagura, Saratoga, Long Branch, up and down the Hudson and Niagara River, in the Catskill mountains, and visiting various other places of fashionable summer resort, in quest of scenery and pleasure, while North and Northeast Georgia is full of ro mantic scenerj— mountains, cascades, falls, vallies, gorges, coves, ravines, peaks, dash ing, splashing, rippling, gurgling rivers and creeks, mineral and freestone springs, and as bright &ud genial sunshine as ever re flected a shadow, and as pure and bracing atmosphere as was ever inhaled by mortal nostrils. Here our own majestic Yonah, the lovely Tallulah and beanliful Toccoah, blushes in perpetual grandeur, in the howl ing wilderness almost, while the screaching and bootings of the owl, and the shrill and dolorous Bcreanis of the night hawk and ea gle, commingle with the roar of fulling wa ters and the deep, gutteral sound of baro metrical winds, all combine to intensify the scenery with the song of nature’s sweetest medley. Many of our own people from this immediate section of the State have visited the mineral springs which abound in the above specified portion of Georgia, where they quaffed the healing waters, and feast ed their eyes upon the grand panoramic scenery spread out in such profusion and sublimity around them, and have returned home with robust bodies, bouyant spirits, and radiant features suffused with smiles, superinduced by the afflatus caught while viewing this magnificient display of nature’s handiwork. Their visit to this highly fa vored and interesting section of our glori ous sunny south, inspired them with new pride for, and devotion to, this Chrokee Ga, section, having never so fully realized be fore that the lines had fallen to them in such pleasant places. But few Georgians have an idea that as lovely and picturesque scenery adorn* the Empire State of the South, as can be witnessed particularly in the region of qpuntry above described. To see is to be convinced. The reason why this highly romantic section is so seldom visited by pleasure-seeking parties from the lowlands of the State, is attributable to the fact that it can only be reached by private conveyance This will not always be the case, we trust. l@uA protracted meeting, promising fine results, is now progressing, day and night, at the Presbyterian Church in this place. At Liberty Grove M. E. Church just be* low Allatoona, a fine revival season is being experienced by the congregation. Eight souls professed conversion there on Sunday night last. Nine candidates, we learn, are to be im mersed at Wofford’s Cross Roads Baptist Church, on next Sunday. A protracted meeting is progressing at Brandon Chapel in the 17th district. A religious awakening in McLemore’s Cove, Walker county, resulted in the con version of one hundeed and eighty persons, among them 15 or 20 Ilniversalists, within the last three weeks. A Meriwether county camp-meeting was attended by between 3,000 to 4,000 persons, on Sunday, the 3d instant. Can’t we Bartow county people manage to have a camp-meeting at the Fair Grounds, some time this fall after tlie October Fair is over ? Why not! DttTWe return thanks to our esteemed friend, J. H. lluckman, for a basket full of green pole beans, for which we are very grateful. •JaT Wonder why there are no sweet pota toes brought to this market. LOCAL ITEMS. TOWN MATTERS. *J. T.

Milner, who recently returned from a tour to Philadelphia, says thjit “if tbe balance of the world is as big as it is from here to Philadelphia, it’s a buster.” W e shouldn’t wonder. Bgk. We were deeply affected, on Sabbath last, upon seeing an innocent and apparently, unassuming young man, struggling to make his hair part in the middle. He did not succeed> and his chagrin can only be imagined. tGF Several more new cars nearly completed at the Cartersville Car Fac tory. Good news this. Vgfc. A large concourse of people fol lowed the remains of Dr. LA. Thomas, son in-law of our fellow townsman, Peter Marsh, Esq., and who was killed a few nights since by a collision on the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, to his last resting place, on Sabbath morning last He was buried with Masonic honors. Dr. Thomas was highly es teemed by all who knew him. His bereaved and grief-stricken wife has our heart-felt sympathy.

Old folks should never deceive children! •SIT* A reporter of ours, who has re cently traversed the mountainous coun ties of Giituer and Murray “seeking whom he might devour,’’ came across tt School House situated at the foot of the Cohuttah mountain, on the line of Gilmer and Murray counties, one Fri day evening, and Htoppfed to heftr these young Ciceroesand Demosthenes de claim. The teacher opened the exer cises by rehearsing the scrape the boy got into who climbed the old man's nppletree; for further particulars, Bee Webster’s Elementary Spelling Book. Next came a firery youth of about two and twenty summers, who, tqxjke as follows: Up the street, And down the level, Granny’s puppy, Treed the devil. Next came a youth of about fifteen years of age, who proceeded to speak learnedly as follows, upon a compli ment which a toad frog had passed up on a bull-frog. He said: A bull-frog jumped into tho well, And the toad-frog said he done ‘party’ well. Our reporter left feeling that it was good for him to be there. It is aston ishing to see how these denizens of the mountains declaim. I®. We heartily surrender a por tion of our space to the following communication, written by our friend, “Nemo.” Need we add that it ex presses our sentiments ? Head it: Tournament Again. Messrs. Editors: I read an editorial in your last issue, written in opposi tion to the Tournament, which is to form such an attractive feature in tho programme of our approaching Fair. I am glad to see that the writer, himself, fails to see “the immoral fea ture, in this little sabre and horse back exercise.” It is my candid opinion, that the individual who desires to be present at the Fair, and absents himself on ac count of the Tournament, for fear of giving aid and countenance to “immo rality,” a close analysis would develop hypocrisy to be the predominant trait in his character—one of the Puritan ical and cunning sort, who “Compound for sins, they are inclined to, By condemning those they have a mind to.” I inn not as charitable as you are, Mr. Editor, and I cannot respect the prejudices of individuals, who condemn as immoral, an exhibition of manly ex ercises, which is appreciated and en joyed by tbe fuireot and best portion of our community. Although I like to do it very much yet there is no use to waste words, or hurt feelings now. We will have a Tournament. The Managers of the Fair know that if they tried to please everybody, they would have no exhibition at all. I have been requested to give notice, that all who wish to take part in the Tournament, will meet at the Town Hall, on Thursday next, the 14th, di rectly after the arrival of the passen ger trains. The meeting will adjourn from time to time, until the oxrange ments are perfected. Yours, Nemo. Fitch, of the Griffin Star, says our local is studying for the ministry. If his far -Filched story about Hudgins private entrance be true, it is not nec essary for him to be much study in or der to be elligible. We venture to express the hope that tbe affairs of the State will still be conducted in a manner satisfactori ly to all parties, until his excellency thinks proper to assume once more tho duties of the office. E. A. Polland, it is said, it is about publishing a book entitled tho "Lost Gurse. n He has turned Radicald it seems. We have lost him, and now we suppose he has written his autobi ography. The Sun is curious to know where Gov. Bullock is, what he is doing, and why he is not at his office in that city; does not desire his presence; says we do not need him there; but still won der what keeps him away so long; asks if he is selling State bonds, is he gone to California, or where has he gone and w hat is he doing ? Meantime the opinion is expressed that Captain Fos ter Blogett is acting Gov. of Georgia, in his place, as he is all the time in the Executive office.

Exuberant Health Is a blessing vouchsafedl<> few. Even those who hive been faVorcl by nature with strong constitutions ami vigorous frames Art apt to neglect the precautions necessary to preserve these precious endowments. In deed. as a rule, the most healthy and robust a man is, the more liberties he is inclined to take with his own physique. It is some consolation to the naturally weak and feeble to know that they can be so invigorated and built up, by a proper use of the means which science has placed at their disposal, as to have a much better chance of longlife, and exemptions from disease and pain, than the most athletic of their follows who are foolish enough to suppose themselves invul nerable, and act accordingly. It is not too much to say that more than half the people of the civilized world need an occasienal tonic, to enable them to sup port the strain upon their bodies and minds, which the fast life of this reckless age occa sions. In fact, pure, wholesome, unexciting tonic is the grand do ideratum of the busy millions, and they have the article in Hos tetter s Stomach Bitter?. It is a staminal medicine, i. e. it imparts permanent strength to weak systems and invigorates delicate constitutions. Its reputation and its sales have steadily increased. Competitive pre parations have been introduced ad libitum and, as far as the public is concerned, ad nauseam , in the hope of rivaling it; but they have all either perished in the attempt, or been left far in the rear. It has been the great medical success of the present centu ry, and it is quite certain that no proprieta ry medicine in this country is as widely known, or as generally used. Ten lightning presses, running incessant ly (Sundays excepted ) the whole year through, barely supply the demand for the Illustrated Almanac, in which the nature and uses of the preparation are set forth, the circulation now being over eight millions a year.
