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.” Hates of Postage.

Evening Post. 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.

W Return of King William to Berlii. [ Dignxteh by the Atlantic Cable,] Queen's Hotel, London. August 7, 1866. [Received August 8. 1566.] —On the 6th the King of Prussia returned to Berlin, when the municipality presented a congratulatory address. 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 mises happily for the future of Prussia, as an honorable and lasting peace is im minent. ’ ' 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 ; ed ior him and his victories. 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. Tribune, Ith. The Middle Georgia Sews says two mean looking fellows, one calling himself from New York, and the other. Charles Miller, from Ohio, were ar rested in Madison on Saturday, charged with robbing a negro. They were lodged in jail. The Intelligencer says that i man named Wm Carrington was shot in YV est Point last Saturday, by Harman Blackburn. It appears that Carrington was kindly inter ceding to preserve peace between Frank Blackburn, a brother of the murderer, and a man named Irwin, when Hannan ran behind Carrington, and shot him. causing almost instant death. j BY TELEGRAPH.

[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. GEORGIA BANKS. Augusta Insurance & Banking Co’y. 8© 9 Bank of Augusta 50@...

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. STOCKS OF COTTON AT TIIE TORTS.

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 j in pronouncing it the very best Cotton Screw we have ever known. S,» 1 uglily do we c teom it, that, if p-?cticahle to ob tain one of them, we would have no other. is easily built, iiuple in its const tuition, not liable to get oik order, packs y» ell, with great power und with great facility.

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.
