Cholera, Cholera Infantum anil Cholera
Morbus.
The advent of Asiatic cholera into our
borders throws a whole nation into qualms
of apprehension. Old Muggins abandons
bis morning tod because lie lias hoard that
members of the total abstinence society are
exempt from the disease; and Hilly, Susy
and Polly Ann are not allowed local more,
than six green apples each, per day, “ be
cause dears, you know tho cholera is
below Savannah.” It never occurs to the
toil-loving Muggins, or to the prudent ma
ternal guardian of the little dears al'nrc
wiid, that they are always exposed to
cholera infantum and cholern morbus,
which carry oil' thousands of victims
annually. In New York while tho deaths
by cholera were 11, those by uholorn mor
bus were 33, and by cholera infantum 287.
In Philadelphia, while Asiatic cholera took
away 10, cholera morbus took 23 and
cholera infantum 158. The Huston Journal
thinks there is much less cause for alarm
from Asiatic cholera than from the other
two, mid says that in that city last week ■
the deaths by cholera infantum were a:!.
The Journal well adds: “ Parents and all
others cannot bo too careful in the eight
weeks to come.”

Western Emigration.
Surprise is often expressed that the
thousands of emigrants landed in New York
are so soon absorbed and lost to sight in the
great mass of population. They seem
scarcely to touch the soil before most of
them are converted into American citizens,
losing their iinlentity. But observers on
the chief routes of travel see more distinct
ly what becomes of them. The Milwaukee
News says:
Hardly a week passes without seeing
hundreds of these European peasantry
landed in our streets, or passing through
the city on their way to the land of pro
mise—the great West. Almost every na
tion of northern Europe is represented.
Large numbers of hardy Norwegians have
arrived during the season, seeking a more
hospitable land, and one in which nature
repays with a more liberal hand the toils of
the laborer.
lowa, Nebra tka, Minnesota and the
northwestern and western portion of our
State, receive most of the emigrants at
present. They seek out the government
lands, build log-houses upon them and soon
have homes of their own. For some time
the settlements of Germans, Irish, Nor
wegians, present the characteristics of
hamlets and villas transported from the old
world and planted on the prairies and woods
of tho new. After a while, however, they
become acquainted with the language,
manners and customs of the country,
and so become naturalized and American
ized. They form at the present time,_
perhaps, the most important class of
American eitizeus. They fell forests, build
railways and turnpikes, plow, plant and
reap, and send over the railways and ca
nals a great portion of the vast produce of
the fertile soil. Each year an army of
the descendants of the ancient Goths, as
great a: that which laid Home in ashes,
visits our shores, and the individuals who
compose it become peaceable, quiet and
well-ordered citizens. Every Frank and
furious Hum who, in times past, in fierce
battle, have fought each other and shouted
under sulpureous canopies, here plant
side by side and live in peace, having
beaten their swords into plow shares.
Description of Vienna.
A foreign correspondent writes: Al
though Vienna is already a vast city of
nearly thirteen miles circumference, yet the
amount of improvement and building that
is going forward is very great. The old
city of Stadtis about three miles in circum
ference, and was built chiefly in the middle
| ages, and was,consequently, densely packed
, together within a wall that was erected for
j defense. It is a curious old honeycomb, j
, that old city. The streets run crowded '
' about ; they are generally only from twelve
I to twenty feet wide, often not more than j
eight ; the houses tower many stories high, J
and away down between them the sun is j
| scarcely ever seen. _ . I
Hundreds of houses are built entirely
j over the street, so that carriages drive ‘
directly through the house, as it were un- I
! der arched ways, long and narrow and ;
| dark. Gas burns here day and night. It '
i is surprising what a limited extent of room j
a poor family will occupy, the trades- j
; man working in the same room occupied j
by his family. Here you are shaved for
two and a quarter cents, your boots are :
mended for five cents, you make asubstan- ■
| tial dinner of soup, beef, potatoes and pud- i
j ding for fourteen cents, and to forth. The j
i same pavement of solid, square stoues ex
tend.- all the way across the streets, and
you walk in the middle or on the side, as j
! you can find room among the rattling car- ;
riages. You seldom enter a hotel or store,
or a large private dwelling from the front,
but go in the coach way, which leads to
the inner court, and turn to the right or
left.
Statistical.
Between the year 1 SI 6 and 1864, 1,782,-
’ >;H > men were killed in the ()!d M orld bat
tle-. Os these 2.148,000 were Europeans
and ltU.Oi>o inhabitants of the other conti
nents. This, during -Id years, the average
annual number who thus perished amounts
to 45.000 men. and including the victims of
disease engendered, by the consequences of
war. The Crimean war (15.53-56) was natu
rally the most destructive, 511,100 men
have perished during its course. 170,000
of these died ou the field of battle. 334.000
from disease in hospitals—246,99o being
Russians. tlß.oooTurks. 107,000 French, 45,-
000 English, 2,000 Italians, and 2.500
Greeks. The war in the Caucasus, (1829-

Indian war (1857-59) 196,005; the Russian
and Turkish war (.1828-29.1 193.000; the
Polish insurrection of 1831, 190.000: the
civil war ofSpain, which raged from 1833
to. 1840, 172,000; the war of Grace inde

which la -t number may be thus analyzed :
>,874 fell ofi the field of battle, .and 33,000
died of disease: of which 59,654 were Aus
trians: 30.22 ' French. 25.600 Italians, 14.

A Siberian Woman. —A gentleman j

In reply, tin King expressed his thanks,
and pointed out that Prussia had drawn
her sword, not only for her independence,
but for the reorganization of Germany.
"The first.” said the King, “has been as
sured ; tlie second may, with the help of
God, also be obtained. Everything pro

' OPENING OF THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
The King in person opened the Prussian
Chambers yesterday 1 Monday. August 6.)
The members rose on his entry and cheer

Count Stolberg was elected President of
tb" Upper House.
The following is tlie Kimr's speech in
1 full: —
Illustrious, XoUc and Loyal Gentlemen of
Both Houses of the Diet : —
Now that I see assembled around me
the representatives of tlie country, my
heart impels me to express first of ail from
this place my own and my people s thanks
for God's gracious goodness, which has
assisted Prussia amidst tlie heavy but suc
cessful sacrifices not only in averting
from our frontiers the dangers of hostili
ties, but in enabling the armies of' the
country by a rapid victory to add fresh i
laurels to its inherited fame and smooth :
the course for the national development of ,
< rermany, accompanied by the visible ,
blessings of God.
The part of the nation capable of bear-'
itig arms enthusiastically obeyed the sum- j
mons to the sacred struggle for the inde
pendence of the Fatherland. Our heroic
army, supported by a few faithful allies,
advanced from success to success, i'rom vic
tory in the East as in the West. Much
precious blood has been shed. The coun
try mourns* the loss of many brave men who
died heroes in the flush of triumph, until
our standard waved along a line extending
from the Carpathian mountains to the
Rhine.
It will be for the Government and rep- i
resentatives [of the people in united co- 1
operation to bring to maturity the fruit I
1 that must be gathered from this sanguin- !
ary seed to prevent its having been scat- I
‘ tered in vain.
Loyal gentlemen of both Houses of the )
j Diet, my Government is able to look with I
: satisfaction upon the financial position of i
the State. Careful foresight and eonscien- j
tious economy have placed us in a posi
tion to overcome the great financial difii- I
| cuities which have resulted as a natural I
consequence from the circumstances of the |
present time. Although material outlay
: has been imposed upon the treasury during
recent years by the war with Denmark, it
has been found possible to meet the ex
penses hitherto incurred in the present
wttr from the State revenue and existing
balances without imposing any other bur
-1 den upon the country than that of furnish
■ ing the supplies in kind for war purposes
that it is bound to supply by law.
I hope and am assured that the further
means required for the successful termina
tion of the war and the payment for the
: supplies in kind, while maintaining order
! and security in finance, will be readily
; granted to you. No agreement with the
1 representatives could be effected as to a
settlement of the budget during tlie last
few years. The State outlay incurred
during this period is therefore destitute of
that legal basis, which I again acknowl
edge, and which the budget alone can
reach. The ninety-ninth article of tlie
constitution ordains that the budget is
annually to be agreed upon between my
government and the two Houses of the
Diet. Although my government has
nevertheless carried ou a budget for several
years without the legal basis, this has only
been done after conscientious examination,
and with the conviction, in accordance with
the Diet, that the conduct of the administra
tion, the fulfillment of legal obligations to
wards the public creditors and officials, and
the maintenance of the army and the State
establishment, were questions vital to the
existence of the State; and that the course
adopted, therefore, became one of those
inevitable necessities which in interest for
the country as the government we must
not hesitate to adopt. I trust that the
| recent events will in so far contribute to
i justify our having carried on the adminis
tration without a law regulating the ap
plication which will be made to the re
presentatives and will readily be granted
to my government, and the hitherto exist
| ing conflict be therewith finally and the
more securely brought to a conclusion.
| As may be expected the political position |
of the Fatherland will now admit of an ex- I
tension ofthe frontier of the State and the
i establishment of a United Federal army,
i This army will be under Prussian leader
ship, and the costs will bo borne in equal j
j proportions by all members of the Con- I
| federation. The bills required in this j
I respect for the convocation of a popular j
j representative federal State will be iaidbe
j fore the Diet without delay.
_ Gentlemen, you know well that the en- I
: tire Fatherland feels the high importance |
| of the movement which brings nie once I
I more among you. May Providence bless [
j Prussia as graciously in the future as He j
| lias visibly blessed it in the immediate !
| past? May God grant it!
The Naval Fight at l.issa.
The following official statements, con
cerning the late engagements at Lissa and
Dalmatia, had been published:
Venetia, July 21. —Yesterday morning
the Italian fleet, composed of twenty-three
ships, including the ram Affordatore , and
twelve iron-clads, was attacked off the
Island of Lissa by the Austrian squadron,
under command of Admiral Tegelhej. In
the coucse of a severe action a large Italian
iron-clad frigate was sunk by the Austrian
iron-clad Ferdinand Max. Another Ital
ian frigate was blown up with all on board.
These vessels weriy lost. The Austrian
line-of-battle ship Kaizer was surrounded
by four Italian iron-clads, of which she ran
down one and forced the others back, losing
in the engagement her foremast and bow
sprit, twenty-three killed and eighty-two
wounded. The Austrian squadron has sus
tained but exceedingly little damage, and
is quite tit for action. After several hours’
lighting the Italian fleet was driven back
and pursued by the Austrian squadron,
and the Island of Lissa is thereby relieved.
Another telegram says the Italian fleet
was forced to retire in the direction of An
-1 cona followed by the Austrian squadron.
The following account of the naval en
gagement between the Austrian and Ital
; ian fleets, dated Straits of Lissa, July 20th,
has been received at Florence :
On the evening of the 18th some of our
i iron-clad vessels forced their way into the
port of St. George. This morning disem
barkation commenced when the naval vi
dettes signalized. The enemy’s squadron
j was in the sight The Italian fleet put out
to meet them and a battle-commenced. Ad
miral Perona hoisted his flag on the Af
fondatare and bore down on the Austrian
fleet under a heavy tire. The stern of the
Austrian Admiral s vessel was destroyed.
The fight was very severe. We lost the
iron-clad lied Italy, when the Admiral
had left and which sunk from a collision
with the enemy at the commencement of
I the battle. The iron clad gunboat Pales
tro caught fire, and the commander and
i crew refused to leave the vessel. She
blew up, amidst their cries of, long live
the King, long live Italy. No other ves
i sel was lost, nor fell into the enemy’s
hands. The Admiral renewed the attack
on the Austrian squadron, which retired
to Lesina, without waiting for our fleet to
come up. and the Austrians continuing
1 their retreat, the Italian squadron remain
jed mistress of the scene of action. The
damage sustained by the enemy was con
siderable. The crew of the Re de Italy
were nearly all picked up by the Victor
Emanuel.
Later information says one Austrian
man-of-war and two steamers were sutik
| by the Italians.
' The King of Prussia had convoked both
; houses of the Prussian Diet for the 29th of
July.
War in Europe.— By the arrival of
the Germania and the City of Boston at
this port, we have files of European papers
to the 26th of July. We receive by these
arrivals a (idler account of the prelimina
ries of peace proposed by Prussia. The
organization of a South German Confede- j
ration, to embrace the States south of the
Maine, is stated to be optional. Austria is
to join the Confederation, on account of
its German provinces. Bavaria was una
ble (o obtain an armistice, and Prussian
troops were at once to advance into Wur
temburg and Baden. The princes who had
been dispossessed of their dominions were
to hold a Congress to guard their rights.
The people of the minor North German
States were, in the meanwhile, becoming
more urgent in their desire for annexation.

REVIEW OF THE AUGUSTA MARKET,
FOE THE WEEK ENDIKO AUGUST lITH, 1806.
[lt should be borne in mind that our
< quotations represent wholesale prices. Small
\ bills, to Planters and others, are jilted at a
shade higher rates.]
REMARKS. Our market has been
rather dull during the week, with but
little demand for goods or cotton. The re
ceipts of bacon and flour have been rather
in excess of the wants of the market, and
prices arc lower. The quantity of new
wheat coming in is about equal to the
want sos our millers, whoso operations are
confined chiefly to the suppiv of the local
trade. Ragging and rope are in demand
and prices are stiff, with an*\ipward ten-
dency.
The crop prospect of this region, though
by no means favorable, is more cheering
than many anticipated. The reports from
the general crop are still contradictory,
' though all accounts concur in the rapid
improvement which is resulting from con
tinued good weather. One or two bales of
new cotton are reported from points in
Southern Georgia, and a like number in
• Louisiana and Texas. AVith no further
decline in the staple, which there seems to
be no reason to expect, it is believed that
i the aggregate revenue from the crop will
not fall very far short of the average ol
1 years nrevious to the war. When we take
1 into view the difficulties which beset the
| planting interest, in preparing for a crop,
: the unfavorable spring, poor seed, excess
j of rain, and unreliable labor, there is much
j room for encouragement in thq.present
: situation. All reports strengthen the grow-
I ing conviction that planting on a large
scale is extremely hazardous, with present
labor, while those who give personal super
vision to a small force, generally find no
i difficulty in securing a fair share of indus
i try from their hands. The tendency, there
i fore, will be to a diversity of crops, and it
| is not likely that the production of cotton
| will for a long time to come reach that
i of former years, or that the price will re
turn to the former average. These views,
| in which many sagacious observers concur,
! are encouraging to the agricultural inter-
I osts of the country, and give good rea
j son to hope that the change in our labor
! system—which appeared so disastrous—
\ while it will induce a change in our farm
ing policy, may not seriously impair the
profits of agriculture in the future.
FINANCIAL.—The money market this !
week lias been very tight. Securities have
been freely offered, but there has been
little disposition to purchase. Brokers are
buying gold at 146, and selling at 148; they
■are buying silver at 138, %nd selling at 140.

COTTON. —This has been a week of un
usual stagnation in cotton, and we iiear of
very few transactions. Tuc market at the
close of our last was dull, with a down
ward tendency. AVe then gave, as the
nominal rates, the following:
Low Middling 28a—
Middling 29a30
Strict Middling 31a32
The advices from Europe in the early
part of the week added to the depression,
and business was almost suspended. The
heavy stocks in Liverpool, and the im
proved prospects of the .growing crop arc
alleged as the causes of the stagnation in
the market, and holders arc losing the con
fidence reported in our last. Our market
is too irregular to admit of quotations, but
prices are about two cents off on the week.
The top of the market for
cotton would be 30 cents.

WRIGHT’S
PATENT IMPROVED
Iron Screw!
FOR
PACKING COTTON.
r rilK ATTENTION OF COTTON
, JL PLANTERS is invited totlie claims of this invention,
winch, in MMI’LKTI’V, ECONOMY, DURABILITY and
j | Ell, surpasses any machine fur Baling Cotton ever
before presented to the country. Its great excellence in these
! respects makes it
THE BEST MACHINE
■ FOR PACKING COTTON
IN THE WORLD !
j 1. ITS SIMPLICITY—It is anew and Improved applica
; tiou of the Screw Power; just as simple in its construction as
: the old fashioned wooden screw, as easily managed, and no
; more liable to get out of order. No ropes or indues as used
, in the cult on presses.
ITS ECONOMY.—It has been demonstrated by actual
experiment to be cheaper than the wooden screw. The tim
bers used in its construction''are much smaller ami fewer than
those employed m the old ; the levers being only 16feet
long, and the height of frame above the bed being
OBiylOfeet. All these timbers can be procured on the plan
. tat ion, no matter how exhausted the forest. Any ordinary
wood workman can build the frame, and half a dozen hand’s
will put it up in a few hours.
N. ITS DURABILITY.—The Screw and Nut are of iron,
ami will last for years without any appreciable wear. The
whole machine occupies so little space that it can be com
! pletelv covered at very small cost.
■J. ITS POWER.—With a lever only sixteen feet long, one
1 mule is sufficient for packing the heaviest, bales. Planters
who have used it say that, with two mules, cotton may be
j compressed on this machine for shipment.
| This Screw was invented just before the opening of the war,
: and has subsequently never qeen very generally introduced.
Those who hove used it and seen it used, unanimously concur
i in the opinion that it is
UNRIVALLED AS A COTTON SCREW.
. The following testimonials from some of the best ami roost
reputable planters in the cooutrv show the estimate in which
, this Nere.w stands with those who have tried it :
We have used ami seen in operation for the last five years,
'Wright's Improved Cotton Iron Screw, and feel no hesitation

Augusta Savings Bank,
THIS INSTITUTION HAS BEEN
i paying for the past year, fifteen cents on the dollar
for the Certificates of Deposit which it issued during thp
war in exchange for Confederate money. This per
centage has been paid on the recommendation of a com.
rnittee composed of Dr. Joseph Milligan, Josiah Sibley,
Esq., and W. J. Owens, Esq., three disinterested citi
zens of Augusta, of high character and position, who ex
amined and valued all the assets of the Dank. This val
uation did not amount to fifteen per cent, of our circula
tion, but the committee estimated that we might he able
to pay this percentage on the supposition that many of
the hills had been lost or destroyed. Since their exami
nation, ail tbs exchange, coin, bullion, hank hills, bonds,
stocks, coupons, cotton and merchandise held by the
Dank have been sold, gome of these have proved to be
less valuable than the estimate of the committee, and
some more ; but on the whole an advance of nearly twen
ty per cent, has been realized ; so that the Dank will be
able to pay eighteen cents in the. dollar for its change
hills, tinless the number destroyed shall be found to iio
smaller than was anticipated. No larger per centage than
this can be paid hereafter, as we have nothing now to ap
preciate.
We have recently investigated the amount received by
the Bunk for its certificates, counting the Confederate
money nt its value when received, and find that it was
less than eighteen cents in the dollar; so that this Dank
will pay hereafter not only to its depositors, but to its hill
holders, the full amount it received.
The new Savings Hank of Augusta, chartered by tho
last Legislature, will redeem the change hills of the “Au
gusta Savings Dank,” at their office No. 223 Droad street
