Home Enterprise.
The Granite Mili,.—The sad experience o f
the late war has demonstrated many important
faets to the Southern people, one of the most
prominent of which is, that we have within our
own limits the means tjijretrieve our fallen
fortunes, by encouraging and building up man"
nfacturing enterprises. Radical legislation will
be so directed as to protect the great manufac
turing interests of New England. The law's
thus enacted must, however, bo uniform in
their application throughout the country ; and
hence it is that the same laws made to enrich
New' England will be equally beneficial to the
South, provided our people will engage exten
sively in manufacturing pursuits. Enterprise
and industry have built up New England, and
given her people a world-wide reputation for
their prominence in manufacturing pursuits.—
Had the people of the South exhibited the sam e
spirit of enterprise, with the raw material at
home, the South w'ould bo what' New' England
Is, the great manufacturing center of the coun
try.
Witli natural resources equal to any other
’section of the country, an abundance of labor
and material from first hands, the facilities
presented to the Soutii were unquestionably
greater than those enjoyed by the North. Un
fortunately, our people did not possess the
Indomitable spirit of enterprise evinced by
those of New England. Their efforts were
directed into other channels, and they were con
tent to let New England plant the seed which
produced their harvest of destruction. Satis
fied with the cultivation of the fleecy staple,
the raw' material was exported to Other parts
of the United States and Europe, and when
manufactured into goods, imported at an
enormous expense. Had a different line of
policy been pursued, our people would have,
been the manufacturers and exporters, as well
as producers. But it is now useless to repine
over what might have been done. The living
present is with us, and with its issues we have
to deal. Tile history of the past is spread
befqre our people, and from its pages they
should at least least learn lessons of wisdom.
That history teaches that with capital, labor
and proper management, manufacturing enter
prises have built up New England. Similar
enterprises, judiciously managed, will build up
the South. Instance the Augusta Factory and
Granit-eville Factory. No companies have
proved more profitable and declared larger
dividends. Numbers of such factories in every
State, properly managed, would have proved
equally profitable. The examples here pro
duced should lie .sufficient to induce our peo
ple to erect factories throughout Georgia and
every Southern State where advantageous loca
tions can lie procured. Some interest has been
manifested in tins direction in South Carolina,
and already an extensive cotton and paper fac
tory is springing up at Kalmia, about, nine
miles from Augusta, on the South Carolina
railroad, which, when completed, will be one
of the largest in the South. Such enterprises
will undoubtedly hereafter be sustained in this
section. The people of Georgia should avail
themselves of the .great advantages which na
ture has conferred upon their State, and push
vigorously forward in the great work of devel
oping her immense resources.
The city of Augusta possesses superior ad
vantages in this respect, presenting admirable
sites for manufacturing purposes on the line of
the canal which gives her immense water power,
and upon which are already erected the Augusta
cotton factory and three or four extensive flour
mills, of the operations of some of which we
have heretofore spoken in these columns. In
this connection we purpose to say something of
the mill, whose name heads this article.
The Granite Mill located on the first level of
the canal, within the corporate limits occupies
tile first mill site as you approach the city. This
mill is five stories and a half high, built entirely
of granite and was erected in 1848 by the late
James L. Coleman, Esq. Some years after
wards it passed into the hands of our distin
guished fellow-citizen, Judge B. 11. Warren, of
whom it was purchased in 1863 by its present
owners, Messrs. Geo. T. Jackson & Co., repre
senting Geo. T. Jnckson, John T. Miller, nnd
E. F. Kiuchley. The machinery by which the
mill is propelled is among the best and most
Improved in the country.
It consists of two over-shot water wheels,
each eleven feet in diameter and thirteen feet
lace, witli a head of tiiree and a half feet water
for driving purposes. These wheels are so
arranged that in ease one is out of order, the
other drives the machinery. The stones for
grinding consist of six French Burr, five of
which are four feet and a half in diameter and
one two feet and a half. Since the termination
of the war the best quality of Dutch Anchor
Bolting Cloths have been introduced. The
bran rubber, or duster, for cleaning bran, as
well as the sumtters, screens and fans are of
superior quality. Four of the Burr stones are
used for grinding wheat, one for corn, and the
smallest for grinding shorts, making common
Ihe capacity of the mill when fn full opera
_ ion is two hundred barrels of flour and four
hundred and twenty bushels of bolted meal
0 Per day.
The brands of flour manufactured are:
Extra family qq
FwnU y if, 00
Extra superfine jf 13 50
Superfine f . ’ la qq
Competent judges pronounce the first, second
and third grades ot this flour superior in quality
L to anj ’ article brought to this market,, while the
latter is better and cheaper than any similar
brand of Northern flour.
The mill is supplied with a self-packing flour
apparatus, which performs the work more ex
t P e ditiously and better than by hand, thus saving
labor and time.
t The mill is superintended by Mr. A. J. Kuhn,
a practical and experienced miller, who under
stands his business in its minutest details, and
to whom we return thanks for his courtesy in
conducting us through the mill and giving us
. information in reference to its workings.
The store room for grain is capable of hold
ing 10,000 bushels. In addition to this, there
is within twenty feet of the mill a brick
building one hundred and forty feet long and
fifty feet wide, sufficient to store 1,000 bales of
cotton or a like proportion of grain.
Tlie site upon which the mill is located is the j
best in this vicinity, and perhaps one of the, I
be*; in the country, being, as above remarked, I
the grst mill 011 the first level of the canal,
which gives it immense water power. The
ground consists ol twelve and a quarter acres, I
tour of which are situated between the first and |
second levels of the canal, and over eight acres J
between the second level and Greene street.—
On tlie second level there is an excellent site j
for a factory, with a sufficiency of power for
any purposes.
in this connection, it may he proper to add
some initiatory steps have been taken to con
vert the Granite Mill into a cotton factory.
Ihe Granite Mill would make one ot the first
cotton mills in the country, its location giving
it unsurpassed advantages, both as to power
and to other facilities. The grounds arc exten
sive, and afford ample room for tlie erection of
necessary out buildings for operatives and other
purposes. The water is excellent for drinking,
and the health ot tlie locality is unsurpassed.
Tlie machinery of the flour mill, placed on
the mSrket, would realize a sufficient sum to
defray one-third the expense of converting it
into a cotton mill. Some inquiries, looking to
a change of this character, have been made.
The interests of Augusta would he greatly en
hanced by the establishing of factories of every
description, and more especially of cotton fac
tories. Progression in every department seems
to he tlie order of the day ; and tlie people of
Augusta should look to it that they are pot out
done in tlie race for mercantile, and especially
manufacturing prominence, by any ot her sis
ter cities ip the South. Inaugurate, encourage
and sustain enterprizes of this character, and
our city will assuredly grow and prosper, in
time becoming the Lowell of the South, not in
immorality and meanness of principle, we trust,
lint in manufacturing importance.
Ladies’ Fair.—The Fair of the ladies of the
Catholic Church will commence Tuesday night,
at Masonie Hall; and we are pleased to learn
that it promises already to be a great success,
inasmuch as the fairest portion of creation has
been working night and day for several weeks
to make it a grand affair. The funds thus realiz
ed are to be appropriated to the comfort and
support of the orphans under the charge of the
Sisters of Mercy whose mission is that of re
llgiofl and charity. The worth of these noble,
self-sacrificing ladies is too well known to need
further publicity. The following, from a cor
respondent ol our sprightly little cotemporary,
the Daily Press , is so pertinent that we take
pleasure in reproducing it here:
“ 1 recently visited your,beautiful city, and
was greatly pleased with one of its institutions
of learning. I refer io St. Mary’s Convent, on
Telfair street, near the new Catholic Church.
As an institution, blending proper flrmneess
with kindness and love; where Sisters, with
music in their souls, teach music to the lips and
fingers; where science puts off her frown, and
learning grows a pleasant thing; where the
children of the rich pay but little, and orphan
girls stay free; where holy women stay to teach,
or only go forth in pairs to minister to the sick
and the poor; all this commends the Sisterhood
to the lovers of their race and the friends of
childhood, even when the observer, like the
subscriber, worships God under the sanctuary
of a less ancient church, or does not look to
the 1 Seven Hills’ for the head of his faith on
earth, nor seek to blend the intercessions of
the Virgin Mary and the glorious saints with
his own imperfect prayers.”
The Picnic at Woodlawn.—We learn that
the Sunday Schools connected with the Asbury
M. E. and Kollock street Baptist Churches had
a delightful .time, yesterday, in the grove own
by John Davison, Esq., opposite the resi
dence of Col. Gardner. Three or four hun
dred children were making themselves happy
in various ways, such as singing, playing ball,
dancing the rope, &c. The more quiet were
wondering in groups or engaged in reading.—
At intervals the company would jbin in most
delicious singing, undc-r the leadership of Mr.
Scofield.
The tallies were covered with good tilings
“ for tile stomach’s sake.” Perfect order was
maintained, and, at the same time, the utmost
cheerfulness prevailed. Brief addresses were
made by the Rev. Messrs. Daniels, Hard and
Vaughn.
We congratulate the schools upon their hap
py time, and beg leave to express our regret at
being unable to avail ourselves of the kind in
vitation to be present.
The Petroleum Vapor Company. —By ad
vertisement, it will be seen that the public ex
hibition of the capabilities of the Petroleum
Vapor Stove and Gas-light will be recommenced
to-morrow, at the usual place, one door above
the Planter’s Hotel. A turkey will be roasted,
biscuit baked, etc., and an engine kept running
through the day by an ingenious application of
this new mechanical agent. The joint stock
company forming for the manufacture and sale
of engines, lamps and stoves on this principle
is, we learn, over half made up, three out of the
five thousand shares having been subscribed.
Subscription lists may be found at the place of
exhibition, and with Mr. Marshall, at Mr. Oates’
store. The engine is highly spoken of by skill
ful machinists, and the culinary exhibition, we
feel assured, from personal inspection some
time since, will amply repay any trouble the la
dies may take in attending it.
The National Express Company.— The
National Express and Transportation Company,
an office of which was opened in this city only
a few weeks ago, is already doing a large busi
ness. Yesterday afternoon we noticed, passing
our office, two wagons loaded with freight,
and subsequently ascertained that over thirty
five thousand pounds of freight had been re
ceived during the day by the agent, Mr. H. M.
Cottingham. This shows that the National
is growing in favor with the people throughout
the South; nor can this be otherwise, when
such a gallant and brave man as Gen. Joe
Johnston is at the head of the institution. The
National Express deserves, and should re
ceive a liberal share of patronage. Success
attend it.
Charles Carter, Esq.—ln the death of
Charles Carter, Esq., who expired in this city
on Thursday evening last, Augusta sees another
added to that list, of old citizens that have
lately, in such unprecedentedly quick succes
sion, passed away. Though, tor years prior to
his death, leading a life of very great seclusion,
Mr. Carter had in his day held a position of
prominence in this community, having twice
represented Richmond county in the Legisla
ture, and maintaining, while at the Bar, the
reputation of a man of decided talent.
Excursion on the river.— The excellent
steamer Two Bovs, of Erwin & Ilardee’s Line,
will make a pleasure excursion down the river
Tuesday morning, leaving here at 8 o’clock,
and returning at six, p. m., same day. This will
atford our citizens a good opportunity for a
day’s recreation, and we /eel assured that the
gentleman having it in charge will make the
affair very agreeable to all present. For
particulars apply to Harry Cranston, Agent,
Augusta Hotel Building.
Sworn In.— Henry E. Clark, Esq., took the
oath of office as County Treasurer yesterday
afternoon. •
Qullp thinks there must be a good deal of bad
veal in the market, judging from the number
of “ false calves” that have been seen in the
streets of late.

r SAVANNAH MARKET.
Friday, May 4,1866.
The fluctuations in the,value of gold in New
York having been wider’ than usual this week,
ranging from 35 to 29 preni., the price of sterl
ing has varied from day to day, ranging from
29 to 33 prem.; closing at about 32 for prime
bills. There is very little sterling offering, the
indisposition to sell cotton curtailing the sup
[ ply of exchange, both in London and New
York; checks on the latter -point are very
scarce and hove improved to on last,
week’s rates. We quote New York sight
I y discount out ot doors ; in bank, par ; and
I for 1 to 3 days %@% discount,
j Cotton.— Our market has this week exhibited
a quieter feeling than at any. time during the
season, with probably smaller sales than have
I yet been reported. This has been caused by
the unyielding nature ot our holders who will
not put out a line of middling at under 30c. $
lb. To-day 28e. was offered for middling and
I was refused. The advices of next crop seems
to impart confidence to holders which may he
considered undue, when the greatest quantity
to be received in Europe is to be placed to the
debit of high prices, as acting like a “wet
I blanket” on any advance to he expected from
I there. Still we would consider it a very se
rious matter the general cry of short crop, par
ticularly when planters would be benefitted by
givinga better account of their prospects, in
or'L'r to obtain the necessary advance.
! We would quote—
(iood Middling Nominal and scarce.

Paeon. —The market for the past week has 11
been dull. The supply is full v equal to the de- 1
niand. We quote Sides at 17@18c.; Shoulders 1

Bagging and Rope.— The market continues
, dull and unchanged. We quote Dundee at 32 1

Butter. —The stocks both in New York and s
this market are very light. A decline is how- 1
ever looked for on account of the coming in of a
the supply. We quote from 58@80c., according ’•
to quality. r
Biscuit. —The market continues well supplied,
• but the demand moderate. We have no change 11
to note in prices, and quote soda biscuit at 13c.; a
sugar at 15c.; butter at 12o.; lemon, in boxes, ’’
20c.; in barrels 18c.; Boston 13c. 3
Coffee.— The market continues well supplied, 1
and prices vary but little from our last quota- ~
tions. Rio is held at 25@37%c.; St. Dominml* a

Coal —Has slightly advanced in New York
market, but no corresponding advance lias sl
taken place here. All grades are held at from >■
sl3 3° to sl4 50 by retail, and by wholesale at 6
from s9@slo.
Corn —Has arrived freely within the past few
days from Baltimore, which has fully supplied
the market for the present, but it will be
sufficient for the demand, as large shipments
are being made to the interior. We quote white
$ 1 30(351 35, and yellow at $1 30 from wharf.
White is selling from store at $1 35(3$ 1 40,
and yellow about 50. less ; $1 20 is the price
asked for a lot in bulk.
Domestics. —Yarns are in limited demand at
$3 50 (g) bunch.
Dry Goods.— These participate with other
things in a retrograde scale towards more
stability in prices, and as the influence of the
late war disappears, prices will further decline
until a more firm basis is reached. The busi
ness for the last week lias been fair, and the
exhausted state of the country for dry goods
does appear to have been supplied fully. The
fall in the price of domestic goods, with the
Ringle exception of osnaburgs, has been general.
The small supply of osnaburgs on the market,
and the limited production scarcely meets the
demand, consequently prices remain without
much change, while yarns have been very much
reduced in prices.’ We quote cotton osnaburgs
8 oz. 38(330c ; yarns No. 8 to 10, $3 50 ; brown
sheeting, heavy style, 14f?17c; crown do. %

Cotton. —The news from Europe in relation to
cotton has been of a depressing character
tbroughoilt the past week, producing a constant
-downward tendency in the price of the staple,
and leading to a distressing want of confidence
l n what may be the ultimate value of the article.
The question is yet to be determined bow far
the present growth of the world, outside of the
United States, under the improved methods of
preparation which have been adopted, will
interfere with the product of this country in
the markets of the world. The reports from
the West, if they can be relied upon in regard
v to the bad character of much of the cotton seed
•’ planted, and the general flooding of the country
by the rise in the rivers, is likely to have an iin
-1 portant influence on the result of the crop.—
® The sales of cotton here for the past week have
e been duite limited. On Friday last the opera
tions of the day amounted to 320 bales, mid
rUinsr cotton bringing in most cases 30 cents f?
f H>., the market having a downward tendency.—
' On Saturday the sales were small and the mar
j ket unsettled, only about 70 bales changing
1 hands at a decline of about two cents $ ft.,
. noddling cotton being quoted at 28 cents. On
| Monday, under improved news from Europe,
; the fall in price on Saturday was regained, and
; holders generally succeeded in selling middling
grades at 30 cents ft. The sales, on Tuesday
amounted to 260 bales at irregular but generally
unchanged prices. On‘Wednesday morning
| buyers entered the market and took about 140
| bales, but withdrew early in the day, and the
[ market came to a stand. On yesterday buyers
still appeared indisposed to purchase, and
: strict middling cotton was offered at 30 cents
ft., and declined. The sales of the day amounted
to ISO bales, of which 100 were low middling
at 26 cents ft. The market is too unsettled
for quotations to be give*.
Sea Island Cotton. —The receipts ot the week
were only forty-three bales. The maaket re
mains in its previous stagnant condition, and
there has been no transactions. The limited
stock continues to go forward to Europe.

Gold. —The brokers are buying at 27 and sell

Morality.—W# cut the two following items
from the same paper:
“No. 1. “The Springfield (Massachusetts)
Republican announces with pride” that “ The
Story of Kennett, ” having been referred
to in its columns as having immoral features,
is having very little sale in our “virtuous city,”
and that certain copies have been returned to
the book stores by persons who purchased
them before reading the Republican's criticism.”
“ No. 2. About sixteen hundred divorces
have been decreed in Massachusetts in six
years, of whom five hundred and eighty-four
were for desertion, five hundred and fifty-three
for criminality, and forty-two from other
causes. It is known that thirteen hundred and
sixty wore decreed in the five years that ended
May 1, 18(55 ; and at the same rate during the
last eleven months, it may be assumed that the
grand total is not far from sixteen hundred.”
Too “ moral ” to read a story that is quite as
decent as any book of fiction now written ; but
not moral enough to prevent five hundred and
fifty-three divorces in five years for adultery.—
Judged by a test which is universally admitted
to be a conclusive one, the frequency of divorce,
there is not in Christendom, and never was a
piece of the earth’s surface, of equal population,
as immoral as New England.
\ Petersburg ( Va.) Express.

THE KIDNEYS.
The kidneys are two in number, situated at the up
per part of the loin, surrounded by fat and consisting
of three parts, viz: The Anterior, the Interior, and
the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tissues
or veins, which serve as a deposit for, the urine and
convey it to the exterior. The exterior is a conductor
also, terminating in a single tube and called the Ure
ter. Tlie ureters are connected with the bladdor.
The bladder is composed of various coverings or
tissues, divided into parts, viz: tlio Upper, the Lower,
the Nervous, and the Mucous. The upperexpels, the
lower retains. Many have a desire to urinate Without
the ability, others urinate without tho ability to retain.
This frequently occurs in children.
To cure these affections we must bring into action
the muscles, which aro engaged in their various func
tions. If they are neglected, Gravel or Dropsy may
ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that however
slight may be the attack, it is sure to affect his bodily
health and mental powers; as our flesh and Mood are
supported from these sources.
GOUT, OR RHEUMATISM.
Pain occurring in the loins is indicative of the above
diseases. They occur in persons disposed to acid
stomagli and chalky concretions.
THE GRAVEL.
The gravel ensues from neglect or improper treat
ment of the kidneys. The organs being weak, the
water is not expelled from the bladder, but allowed to
remain; it becomes feverisli and sediment forms. It
is from this deposit that the stone is formed and gravel
ensues.
DROPSY
is a collection of water in some parts of the body, and
bears different names, according to the parts affected,
viz: when generally diffused over tho body, it is called
Anasarca: when of the abdomen, Ascites; when of
the chest, Hydrotliorax.
TREATMENT.
Hehnbold’s highly concentrated compound Extract
Bucliu is decidedly one of the best remedies for dis
eases ot the bladder, kidneys, gravel, dropsical swell- • -
ings, rheumatism, and gouty affections. Under this
head we have arranged Dysuria, or difficulty and pain
in passing water, scanty secretion or small and fre
quent discharges of water, Strangury.qr stopping of
water, Hematuria or bloody urine, Gout and Rheu
matism of the kidneys, without any change in quan
tity, hut increase of color or dark water. It was al
ways highly recommended, by the late Dr. I’hysick,
in these affections.
This medicine increases the power of digestion and
excites the absorbents into healthy exercise, by which
the watery or calcareous depositions and all unnatural
enlargements, as well as pain and inflammation, are
reduced, and is taken by
MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
Directions for uhc and diet accompany.
Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 25,1857.
H. T. HELiigOLD, Druggist.
Dear Sir: I have been a sufferer, for upwards of
twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kidney affec
tions, during which time I have used various medici
nal preparations, and been under the treatment of the
most eminent physicians, experiencing but little re
lief.
Having seen your preparations extensively advera
tised, I consulted with my family physician iii rcgsgit
to using your Extract Btichu.
I did this because I had used-all kinds of adver
tised remedies, and had found them worthless, and
some quite injurious: in fact, I despaired of ever get
ting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter
unless I knew of the ingredients. It was this that
prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised
that it was composed of buchu, ccbkbs and JCNii-Eit
be Kin ss, it occurred to me and my physician as an ex
cellent combination, and, with his' advice, after an ex
amination of tile article, and consulting again witli
the druggist, I concluded to try it. I commenced its
use about eight months ago, at which time I was con
fined to my room. From the first bottle I was aston
ished and gratified at the beneficial effect, and after
using it three weeks was able to walk out. 1 felt
muen like writing you a full statement of my case at
that time, but thought my improvement might only
lie temporary, and therefore concluded to deferand see
if it would 'effect a perfect cure, knowing then it
would be of greater value to you and more satisfactory .
to me.
lam now able to report that a cure is. effected after
tiling.the remedy far five mouths. i
I hare not used any vow for three months , and feel as
■well in all respects as I ever did.
Your Bucliu being devoid of any unpleasant taste 1
and odor, a-nice tonic and invlgorator at the system, I
do not mean to be without it whenever occasion may ,
require its use hi such affections.
