COIN STITUTIONALIST. WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCT. 2.1867. TO MERCHANTS. THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTIONALIST nAS AN EXTENSIVE CIRCULATION AMONG FAR MERS AND PLANTERS WIIO SEEK AUGUSTA AS A MARKET, AND AMONG OTHERS WIIO PROBABLY MIGHT BE INDUCED TO TRADE HERE IF OUR MERCHANTS WOULD BRING TO ATTENTION THE ADVANTAGES OF THIS OVER OTHER PLACES. TIIE TERMS FOR ADVER TISING ARE REASONABLE, AND WE COMMEND THIS MEDIUM TO THE CONSIDERATION OF THE BUSINESS MEN OF OUR CITY. New Advertisements- Take up the shovel and the hoe. Or in other words, rent the first rate plantation advertised by Robert Schley, Executor. Liberal advances will be made on cotton con signed to Messrs. 11. F. Russell and Robert W. Potter, who have united in the cotton commis sion business, and have their office corner of Reynolds and Mclntosh streets.

For Liverpool—Tunno & Cos. the A No. 1 American clipper ship “Star of the West ” to sail from Savanuah at an early day. The Augusta Factory stockholders are in vited to collect a five per cent, dividend. Adoniram Council meets to-night. The Fuss in TnE Fire Department.— We very much regret to be called upon to place on record the fact that there has been a difficulty in the Fire Department oi our city. We shall do so as briefly as possible, hoping it will be the last, as it is the first, instance of the kind. The steamer recently purchased for Gazeile Fire Company proves to be defective, in that the boiler is injured. The evidence regarding this injury leaves it a matter of doubt as to when this defect occurred—during the tests to which the engine was subjected after its arrival in this city or before. It was charged by Capt. H. C. Foster, of Gazelle, that the boiler was an old one, detective, and that the Chief of the Department, J. B. Platt, knew it to be so, yet purchased it in this condition because lie could get from the builder a commission for bis services, inducing the city of Augusta to purchase it. Other charges of this nature were made against the Chief by Capt. Foster, and at the instance of Chief Platt an investigation of the matter was lfftd on Monday night. After a lengthy hear ing, during which, we think, undue, latitude was allowed both parties, the Chief was honor ably exculpated. We do not care to discuss this matter further, in view of the fact that it. is settled, and we earnestly commend to our brother firemen to discontinue comments upon it. Our Chief, we believe, is fully satisfied with the decision. Too much has been said already— it has been said hastily. Let not the character istic harmony of our department be marred. More Improvements. —A commendable pride seems to have taken possession of many of our Broad street merchants. The old-sash loned brick fronts, with small doors and win dows, are becoming unpopular for stores, and elegant iron columns and clear glass are taking the place of brick walls and wooden shutters. Among the latest improvements of this kind we note the work in progress at the stores of Henry Meyer, Esq., just below Washington, on Broad street; also, that of Mr. Henry L. A. Balk, two doors above Washington, on Broad. 'These alterations give a decided modern air t’o a portion of the city which has suffered here toibro considerably irom old-fogy ism. THE ls jpROADWAY.”— We have received from Mr. George’ A. Oates a copy of the “ Broad wav ” magAZicc. It is an improvement upon the first number.

Homicide. —About 11 o’clock on Sunday Tiight an affray occurred near the corner of Barnard and Tattnall streets, between two ne groes named Wade Collins and John Butler, resulting in the death of the latter. There are many conflicting accounts in relation to the origin of the difficulty, but lrom what we can learn, it seems to have originated in jealousy. The two wet * quarreling, when Collins drew a small pistol and shot Butler in the right side, inflicting a wound from which he died in about two hours. Coffins was arrested and brought before Justice P. M. Russcil, who committed him to jail pending his examination at 3 o’clock this evening. —Savannah Adv ., Oct. lsf. Decease of a Promising Citizen.—We are pained to announce (says the Orangeburg Nercs) the demise, on Friday night, 20th Inst., of Samuel D. Stocker, Esq., after a brief ill ness. The deceased was a young man of much promise, find was highly esteemed and beloved by a large circle of acquaintances and friends. In his death we feel that our community has lost a useful and enterprising member. His funeral obsequies were performed at the Pres byterian church, on Saturday afternoon, and his remains were removed to the city on Sun day for interment. * Atlanta. —We regret to learn that the ship ment of freights over the Western and Atlan tic Railroad is so light that the Master of Transportation has been forced to snspend the through express and other freight trains of the road. This has thrown quite a large number of our citizens—conductors, engineers, firemen and other employees of the road —out of em ployment.— Opinion. Beverly Nash qualified yesterday, and is now robed in the panoply of a magistrate for Rich- Jand District.— Columbia Phoenix , Ist. The Savannah Bumpus. [Condensed from the Advertiser, of the l-t. The meeting so long and perversely adver tised by the agitator Bradley, took place yes terday, in Chippewa Square. The spacious square was crowded to its utmost capacity, and the adjoining streets near the speaker’s stand were so densely filled as to be hardly passable for vehicles. Most of those present appeared to be coun try negroes, and there were also a large number of women and children. Indeed many of the women seemed more interested than the men. There was a strong force of police posted in various parts of the square, and the Command ant of the Post, Capt. H. C. Cook, brought up a company of soldiers trom Fort Pulaski, and had them in readiness at the barracks, in order to take prompt measures to prevent or quell any disturbance —a very wise preeaHtion, ns the event proved. Just about 11 o’clock the redoubtable Brad ley arrived on the ground, accompanied by a body guard of some twenty negroes, armed with muskets. He took his place on the plat form, and hie pickets were posted round it, a few paces apart. This created some feeling, as it was not generally supposed that there would be any difficulty, and it seemed as if this osten tatious display was intended to create had feel ing. The next movement was on the part of a detachment of the police, who quietly went round and disarmed the pickets- Bradiey then rose and called on the meeting to nominate some one to preside. His name was proposed, when he said,|j“ All you who are in favor of Aaron A. Bradley, Esq., for Presi dent, will say aye.” The ayes had it, and he accordingly made a speech, saying that ire had requested Mayor Anderson to preside, at which His Honor had laughed heartily, probably con sidering it a good joke. He also said that of the names announced as speakers, two or three were anxious to address them, but had been de terred on account of threats made against their lives. He was not to be intimidated, however, he would speak. lie then read a string of resolutions and spoke a piece. The Union League was also severely de nounced, and its members characterized a3 liars, perjurers, thieves and assassins. Some, of these so denounced were on the ground, and it was with difficulty they could be kept from replying to him, which was evidently what he desired, in order to provoke a difficulty. It was next announced that a collection would be taken up to defray the expense of the hand, printing handbills, tickets, &c. As the greenbacks began to come in, the band grew more enthusiastic, and though commenc ing in a slow and melancholy manner, grad ually became inspired at the prospect of re ceiving their pay. Alter the collection slacked off, Bradley re freshed himself with a glass of lemonade —or something else—and said as all the business was done, he would like to have some other persons speak, but none responded. The crowd showing a little disposition to be uneasy, the inevitable Bradley got up again and commenced howling against an editorial in the Republican. Bradley was pretty hefty on some of his white brethren, and preached very freely the doctrine of dividing things. On this text the arch agitator preached for a few minutes, interlarding his remarks with more abuse oi those who differed Irom him.— About this time two or three of those whom he had so persistently abused began to think that forbearance had ceased to be a virtue, and made some very unpleasant but true remarks concerning this Bradley and his motives. A discussion ensued upon this, thongh at so great a distance from the stand that the voice of the speaker could not be heard. A difficulty seem ed imminent, but was soon quelled by the po lice, when a cry was raised, and the friends of Bradley, most of whom were supplied with sticks, rushed in. The police force held them in check until word was sent to the United States Barracks, and a company of about seventy men came down at the double quick, with loaded guns and fixed bayonets. As the military approached, Bradley hastily offered and adopted two resolutions, himself being proposer, seconder and adopter: Re solved, That it is time for me to leave. Re solved, That I will leave. And he did it, Miot standiug upon the order of his going, bnt not forgetting to take the money with him. The military and the police soon cleared out the square, and dispersed those lingeringaronnd. A large crowd followed Bradley to his resi dence, corner of Broughton and Lincoln streets, where he commenced haranguing them in very violent language. This crowd, as well as an other one in Columbia Square, was soon dis persed by the police, some fifteen or more of them being arrested and taken to the Police Barracks. The citizens of Savannah should feel under great obligations to Capt. Cook, commanding the United States forces, for the prompt man ner in which tie co-operated with the civil au thorities in preserving the peace of the city and preventing what might otherwise have proved a serious riot. Last night an extra police force was stationed at points where trouble was apprehended, and the soldiers at the United States Barracks were also in readiuess for any demand that might be made upon them for assistance.

Three children of a Mrs. Barrett were pois oned recently in consequence of a mistaxe on the part of a druggist, but their lives were saved by the prompt attendance and services of a physician. A Washington special to the Herald says the coming statement of the public debt shows a further reduction in the total, though not as large as the last one. It is probable that the trial of Mr. Davis will be considered in a Cabinet meeting before the Attorney General gives District Attorney Chandler, of Virginia, any official advice.

Death of the Pugilist Lazarus.— New York, Sept. 27.—Izzy Lazarus, the well-known English pugilist, died in this city yesterday morning, at 10 o’clock, at his house, the Eagle Shades. Lazarus was a short man, but very flat, his weight, a few months ago, being over three hundred pounds. He had been ill since the beginning of last winter. He was born in Petticoat Lane, London, on the 9th of Februa ry, 1812. His parents belonged to the Jewish persuasion. Izzy early imbibed a love for the “ manly art,” and followed it up from his boy ish street fights till he had attained the height of his ambition. Perhaps the hardest fight ever fought by La zarus was with an Irishman named McCarty, and was a turn-np in Whitechapel. The fight lasted over an hour, and although the Jew boy pulled through, he was fearfully punished as well as the Emeralder. Izzy’s first dehut in the P. R. was with a Leicestershire man, for a few pounds, which Lazarus won cleverly. After many encounters, there remained bnt one man for Lazarus to beat, and that was the renowned Owen Swift, whose prowess was such that he could be backed against any man in England. Swift was a tremendous hitter and boxer, and two of his opponents had died irom the effect of the punishment he had in flicted. The match between Swift and Lazarus was made for £IOO a side, and the fight took place on the first of J une, 1837. The army, the navy, tne houses of lords and commons, the pulpit and the bar, each fur nished its representatives. The fight was a prolonged one, lasting 103 rounds, and of nearly five hours’ duration. The West could not, and would not succumb to the East, and every ring dodge was put in practice to worry Izzy out and pull off the fight in favor of the “ aristocrat,” who won by the narrowest shred. Lazarus become disgusted at this defeat, and it was his last fight. Personal.—We regretted to find Col. Henry S. Fitch, United States District Attorney for Georgia, in bed yesterday at Brown’s Hotel, suffering from what had threatened to be a very serious bilious attack, but which is now, under the skillful miuistrations cf Dr. Chas. 11. Hall, so lar conquered as to promise a speedy conva leseense. We had the pleasure of knowing Colonel F. in the brave old days of ante bellum. The di verging waves of war floated us to opposite shores, but we still recognize in him the true gentleman and soldier—who fought without passion, and conquered without malignity. We most cordially wish him an early restoration to health. [Macon Journal and Messenger, 28 th inst. A Live Gorilla in New York. —The latest sensation at Barnnm’s Museum is a live gorilla, captured in the wilds of Africa, five feet and a half high, and costing SB,OOO. The animal arrived on Tuesday, and great difficulty was experienced in transferring it from the cage in which it had made the voyage to the permanent cage in the Museum. During the operation the gorilla displayed its great muscular streneth by bending double a huge wrought iron bar an inch and three quarters thick. It has a face and eyes like a human being, and its hand is as deli cate as that of a woman. It is now secure in its cage, and held by an immense chain. This is the ouly specimen of the gorilla now on exhibition in this country.— N. Y. World. Three young Englishmen, said to be fresh from Oxford, have been amazing the people of Dinan, in Brittany, by crowning the head of the statue of the great Bertrand du Guosclin with a matella. Two of them got safely away after this silly exploit, the- third, whose name is Sweeting, was brought back from St. Malo and justly sentenced to a fortnight’s imprisonment. The judge who presided made some very sen sible remarks. “It is painful,” he said, “to see young men belonging to one of the great English universities come to this country, where we welcome them so cordially, to out rage our Breton glories, and try to revive the hatred of evil days now gone by.” Death of Mr. L. 8. Bennett.—Our com munity was shocked at learning of the death Os Mr. L. S. Bennett, who has been for some fifteen or twenty years a resident of this city.

Within five minutes after leaving the bath he was in a state of congestion, and died yesterday morning at 8 o’clock. f Savannah Advertiser , ls<.

LITTLE & MARSHALL: Gentlemen: I used, during the past season, one of “ INGERSOLL’S PORTABLE COT TON PRESSES,” purchased of you last September. I have always been prejudiced in favor oi the “Screw Press,” and nothing but dire uccessity induced me try any other. I take pleasure, however, in adding my testimony in favor of its entire adaptation to the wants of a Cotton Plan tation. It has surpassed my most sanguine expectations. I have packed with but two bands, yet I prefer four—two at each lever. My bales all weighed over 500 lbs. The first lot I sent to market averaged 502 lbs. My impression is that 500 lbs. is about the capacity of the Press, and a greater number of pounds subject the follow-block to too much risk, unless the sides of the cotton box was increased. It would add greatly to the value of the Press i!' the cotton box was teu inches longer. In haste, I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, &c., B. \V. LAWTON. P. S.—l took my Press down and carried it some four miles to pack t ho crop of a neighbor, who failed to have a “Screw” built; lie was so much pleased (hat he. has determined to aban don the 2Screw” and purchase “Ingersoil’s Press.” B. W. L. Office of Kino’s Mountain Railroad Company', ) Yorkville, S. (J., April 15, 1807. ) Gentlemen : 1 have just received your letter of February 14th—upon my return to this place, after an absence of two months —and this reply may be too late for your “ Descriptive Circular of Ingersoil’s Cotton Press.” The Press i used in packing my cotton last, year worked admirably, packing with ease from 00 to 525 lbs. With good active hands to work it, I am satisfied that front eighteen to twenty bales might readily be packed in a day. This Press combines the advantages of lightness and consequent portability and simplicity (being easily managed by any one of ordinary intelligence). Great compressing force, with lit tle motive power, and “ last, hut not least,” it is worked entirely by hand, thus saving for the farm horses the hard labor imposed upon them try the use of the ordinary “ Screw.” Respectfully, &c., yours, K. M. LAW. For DESCRIPTIVE LETTER and PRICE LIST address LITTLE & MARSHALL, AGENTS FOR THE INGERSOLL COTTON PRESS, No. HO Meeting Street, jy2B-2aw3m Opposite Pavilion Hotel, Charleston, 0. C.
