Sad Accident.
The Advertiser says that Mr. Thomas .1.
Howie, a most respectable citizen of the
Martin Town section, Edgefield District,
was thrown trom his horse against a tree,
oti Sunday last, and die ’, so.jii after of hi
injuries.
New Variety of Watermelon.
The Commissioner of agriculture has
on hand some specimens of watermelon
grown on the experimental garden from
seeds sent to the drparlmeut from China.
These are the first of that variety raised in
this country, and the fruit is pronounced
tie* best ever grown in the United States.
A characteristic of this melon is its re
markably sweet flavor. The Commission
er will shortly Is? prepared to distribute a
quantity of the seed.
Cholera.
We believe no new cases of cholera have
appeared among the soldiers in this city,
and no cases have occurred among our
citizens. Would it not be well for tiie
Hoard of Health to make daily reports,
until all danger and dread of the disease is
allayed. Exaggerated reports have gone
out into the country, which deter persons
from visiting our city, and grc-atly injure
the opening trade. We assure our readers
of our purjK.se of giving them the whole
truth- to report all cases that come to our
knowledge; but we still think it would be
well for the Hoard of Health to publish a
daily report until it is known the oincase
has disappeared from the troops, who are
quartered a few miles from the city.
The I.allies' Koine.
We had the pleasure on yesterday of
meeting Mr. T. >S. Gillespie, who visits this
city for the purpose of extending theorem
lution of Tlu t .adieu' Horne —a lit. rary
journal published In Atlanta, by I>r. Tims.
S. Powell. The public are already famil
iar with the efforts Dr. Powell has made to
establish a Home for Invalid Dailies. A
large bind, rai ;ed for the purpose, in Con
federate money, was rendered unavailable
by the results of the war, and with an en
ergy that ne>er tires, he has;,tai led a news
paper especially designs i for the ladies, the
proceeds of which are to be devoted to
the consumm itionof his cherished purpose
to erect an asylum for the invalid ladies of
Ids native South. The /Lome is an attrac
tive paper edited with enre and ability,
and a model of typographic taste. Mr.
Gillespie will call upon the ladies of the
city, and we sincerely hope that he may
obtain a large number of subscribers.
Dr. Powell also proposes to Issue an ad
vertising sheet, which wo commend to the
favorable notice of the business men.
The State Tax.
A few days ago we stated, on what we
deemed the best authority, that the (lovel
ier contemplated the suspension of the
collection oi the Stale tax. Tins was before
l tie < lovornor had sneer eiled in negotiating
the bonds of the State for a sum nearly
snllicient to pay the pressing debts of the
State. Itv an act of the last State
legislature ho was authorized “in the
event lie should not lie able, by issuing
bonds, to pay the land tax levied by the
United States Government, and the same
will have to he paid by the owners of the
laud so taxed, —to arrest the collection of
so much of the State tax as is levied on the
lands in the State by virtue of the tax hill
to raise a revenue f..i the year 18(10.” This
tax, amounting to Jl‘sß4,:i<>7 33, has been sus
pended until isos, leaving the people noth
ing to pay but the assessment of one-fifth
of one percent, or -0 cents on every SIOO.
The Southern Recorder states that there
will bene suspension by the Governor of
the State tax —from which we conclude
dial the successful negotiation of bonds
has rendered the contemplated action of
tlio Governor unnecessary.

pleasure of examining a quantity of gold

which nro extensively sold throughout
Central America. Among massive . ■ esses,

now in mute appeal from the winding
sheets of their ancestors, to ask for the
simple Indians in the mountains, medical
protection trom cultivated skill, against
diseases which gather them up in too
early graves. Ignorant and unlettered as
they are, they have learned of the white

Tnr Stripe op Three Cities,.—
A long mooted question in musical cir
cles lias recently been permanently settled
to the great satisfaction of lovers of justice
generally, and especially to the delight of
Southerners, who have watched the long
struggle with intense interest. Boston,
New York unit Baltimore have boon the
contending parties in this prolonged dis
pute. which wns boldly inaugurated by
Messrs. Win. Knabo A Cos., of Baltimore,
to determine whether tho “lull), - ' the me
tropolis of tin' Monumental City, could
turn out the best American piano. The
great commercial town of Maryland cun
claim to lead. And this decision has not
resulted from anv one stated trial, but
from a series in' thorough comparative
tests iu Non York, Chicago and other im
portant business centres of .lie country,
in every instance parties opposed to the
“Knalie piano" have been lair.v beaten
befoiv an honest committee, or have re
fused utterly to meet the issue, and backed
down in the lace of imminent defeat. This
must settle the issue as fully as if ana
tonal convention had decided it, and in
tiic future the South can boast of manufac
turing tin- best piano of the country. —
knabo a Cos. have been making these
silts rb instruments for thirty yesrs, and
their fame is nothing new : but other piano
concerns have sprung into existencenienn
v hUe. claiming to U-at the old house at its
own trade, and a contest with them was
Inevitable. Hence the various trials as
above.
People will have their prejudices in
favor ot one or another maker, and must
lie humored in them; but an article so
lon tried as this—one that lias so often
proved superior and freelv accorded this
palm by the best judges of Europe and
America, lias certainly more than ordinary
claims up'ii a purchaser's attention. Sub
stantial, durable, handsome to look at,
delightful to listen to, keeping in tune
longer than any other known, having a
delicate touch, and giving such qualitv
and purity cf tone as only a•• Knabe" can,
we cannot but commend tho universal
verdict in their favor. The great South
ern house is again beiug extended to meet
the wants of its immense and constantly
inereasing business, and this triumphant
success, overlapping a quarter of a. nturv,
is. after ail. the true and indisputable test
of worth.
A visii to their clogaut warerooms. No.
«v3O llroadwav, in this city, will demon
strate the superiority of these celebrated
instruments still more fully than # any de
scription which could be given ot them.

Regulations fob Bebillers. — The
now regulations concerning the manufac
ture, inspection, and sale of distilled
spirits, to which we referee recently, have
been issued by the Commissioner. The
regulations give a digest of the internal
revenue law as it bears upon distillers, and
to whom it is very important. Tho Com
missioner at the close of the circular says;
‘•Under no circumstances must a distillery
lie allowed to run until the requirements
of law and the foregoing regulations have
been complied with, and any distillery
found running without such compliances
must be immediately skipped by the Col.

I see, from the Jacksonville Sentinel,
that General B. M. Prentiss, in a speech

accessory to the assassination of the late
President Lincoln. He also, as reported,
said he was backed in this suspicion by
! “the opinion of Hon. William Rich
ardson,’' as expressed to himself.
If he made tho statement in reference
i to me, I declare him to be a base aud infa

well for the enlightened policy of the Em

REVIEW OF THE AI’KUSTA MARKET,
I'OP. THE WEEK ENDING SErT. 15TH, 1860.
[/; should be borne in mind that our
■ quotations represent wholesale prices. ,Small
bills, to Planters and others, arc filled at a
shade higher rates.]
REMARKS.— The second week of the
business year closes on a dull and stagnant
market, with an easier tone in a number
of leading articles. Tiiis is occasioned
rather by local and temporary causes, than
from any permanent tendency tolower rates
which the tone of the leading markets do
not seem to justify. The short-sighted poli
ce of some of the connecting railroad lines
in refusing to establish a liberal tariff of
through freights to the 3\ cst, drives a large
amount of trade trom this market,and will
keep our people from realizing, toa reason
able extent, the advantage whieh might
result from the abundant corn and wheat
crop of that section. Jhe interest mani
fested in the construction of rival lines
justifies the hope that the time is not dis
when the plodding monopolies will lie
woke up by a healthy competition. We
are pleased to learn that a through tariff to
Memphis lias been agreed upon. We have
not been furnished with a copy of it, but a
mercantile friend has given us the charges
on the different classes of goods, as follows*
Ist class, ) 1 100 It'S, s 1 25; 2d class do., $2 15;
3d class do., 81 75; 4th class do., $i 50; ear
load, $139; flour 'j-l bbl., $3 10 ; by the car
load, (t barrel, $2 15; wheat, rye, barley,
Ac., r 1 bushel, 46 cents; U car load, about
20 44 cent, lower.
Tho advices from the growing cotton
crop during tho week have been unfavor
able. In this vicinity, the crop after hav
ing been injured by the drouth in July,
has suffered from tho recent excessive
rains. In tho counties below Augusta re
ports are more favorable than those above.
Burke, Jefferson and Screven are doing
much better than Columbia, Lincoln or
Warren counties; while from Elbert ac
counts are exceedingly unfavorable, the
rust having, in many neighborhoods, almost
destroyed the crop. In Edgefield District
the complaint is general, and if we may
judge from the versions which reach us,
not over a fourth ofa crop will be realized
there. All along tho Georgia railroad dis
aster lias attended the crop, and hundreds
of planters will not pay expenses. In
Southwestern Georgia, though damaged by
the late rains, the yield is more encourag
ing, and a third to a half a crop is likely to ,
be realized.
j FINANCIAL.—There has been only a
■ moderate demandfor gold during the week,
j and hut little fluctuation in rates. Brokers
! are buying at 143, and selling at. 145. S '-
ver, buying at 138, and selling at 140. !A
--' curities, owing to tho scarcity* of money,

with a good demand at the following quo
tations :
Middling 23

The demand has been good during the
' week, with an advancing tendency. We
now quote:
! Middling .....30

i Good middling '. 32
The sales of the week amount to 630 bales,
i Receipts, 299.
Sales to-day, 144 bales :—1 at 23, 5 at
! 28, 77 at 30, 20 at 31,2 at 314, and 3 bales at
j 32 cents. Receipts, 47 bales.
BACON.—There has been little demand
j for bacon during the week, Tlicro is a
large stock on the market of meat that is
not strictly sound, and on which parties
are anxious to realize. This has impart
ed an easier tone to the market, and we
have lowered our quotations 4 cent., t hough
some holders of strictly prime pieat are
firm at the rates of last week.
GRAIN, —The supply of wheat is about
equal to the demand, and for the better
grades there is no change in prices. Much
that is now coming in is inferior red, on
which prices listvo declined 10 cents. IVe
quote white $2 50@2 75; red, $2 20a2 40.
The supply-of corn is in excess of the de
mand, and prices continue to have a down
ward tendency. Our quotations are full,
and include prime Maryland white, which
we quoted 3 to 5 cents higher in our last-
Oats are quiet and unchanged.
FLOUR.—Western flour is very dull.
Tho city mills supply tho local trade with
flour of excellent quality, and are shipping
to Savannah and Charleston. Their quo
tations are unchanged, save the Granite
mills, which are 50 cents lower on the extra
and family grades, Stock feed, 3 cents
il>.; fine feed, 2 cents; chicken feed, 50 cents
•p bushel. The following are the prices oi
.Stovall’s Excelsior flour at retail: Super
fine, $10; extra, sl7; double extra, $lB.
Hiram Smith’s sells at sl9. .
RAGGING.—There lias been an active
demandfor bagging for several weeks with
a firm aud advancing market; hut a recent
decline in Boston has imparted an easier
tore to the market, and wo quote gunny at
40«41 cents. The stock of gunny cloth on
hand in Boston on tho Ist of September
was 8,053 hales; on the way from Calcut
ta, 12,089 bales; loading at Calcutta, 2,255
bales. This, with the stock received from
January to September (8,782 bales) gives a
supply of 31,779 bales, which, if it all went
into use, would not pack quite 2,000,000
bales. We leave those interested to judge
how the demands of the crop will effect the
price of the article as the season pro
-3 In groceries and general merchandize
there are no changes worthy of note, and

Savannah Market.
Savannah, Sept. 12. — Cotton — In New
Y'ork the advance in Sterling and the good
demand now prevailing has considerably
improved that market which has been re
sponded to here. Yesterday a much better
tone was evinced, holders being decidedly
stiller in the higher grades of evsn morn
ing lots, though poor cottons are still neg
lected. ' We quote at tv to 3le for New Y’ork
middlings.
It should lie remembered, however, that ;
the few buyers here,and the small and an- j
desirable stock offering, precludes as yet;
anv idea of a regular market.
The receipts are very light. The old ;
crop is prett v thoroughly marketed, and
but little of the new is ready for transpor- :
tation. The movement in the staple is
much impeded by the law requiring the
tax of three cents to bo paid before ship
ment, and not as heretofore, at the ports.
. An effort is being trade, however, to .
t remedv this, which it is thought will be j
successful. By the first of October-v. emay
expcct full arrivals.

DIED,
1 At Lancaster. Ills late residence in Hancock conn tv, on the •
i third day of July, the Honorable JAMES THOMAS.
Judge Thomas was a singular iastaucc of the eminence to
which a jvsolut l . will may raise a man, in spite of great diffi
culties and obstacles. To him, the son of a poor man, all but
the elements of education, was denied. In the simple work
of managing a small farm, and, for a part of the time, of
keeping a country school, the first ten years of his manUpod
were spent. This was long enough, and too long, for such a
man to remain In obscurity. In spite of the want of a libera! ,
education; in spite of the formidable array of eminent law- ;
yrs, not only from the Northern but from the Ocmulgec and
Middle Circuits, by whom the. Courts of Hancock were then
usually attended, he, after a short preliminary reading, under ‘
the direction of the lute Hon. Nathan C. Sayre, left his farm,
by which he Iru! added little to the small estate he had ac
quired by inheritance and marriage, removed to Sparta, and
began to practice at the bar.
Ilow soon and how ably lie came to compete with the lead
ing lawyers wherever he practiced ; how well the advantages
of cultivated intellect and the charm of eloquence which for
tune had given to others, but withheld from him, were com
pensated by a native talent that was equal to theirs, and by a
resolute devotion to professional duties that was superior to
theirs, and how soon he reached an atundant success, both in
money and reputation, it is well known to the public.
There never was a more faithful lawyer, lie loved the law.
He gloried in the search, in the finding, and in the establish
ment of its principles; and, to this end, few men had labored
more iu the Legislature, and out of it, for a Supreme Court, so
necessary for the ascertainment of vexed questions, on which
the ten Circuit J udges iu Georgia ha.l almost as many various
rulings. lie was one of those men, not numerous at the bar,
who are as willing to study, and as capable to sec the strength
of an adversary’s side of a case, as their own, and who arc
therefore/seldom surprised at the raising of unexpected
issues.
He more than identified himself with his client. To the
cause of the latter he was wont to bring an amount of vigi
lance, and labor, and demand, that were never employed in !
the conduct of any, even the most important, of his own 1
affairs. While they were very often postponed, and some- j
times neglected, he always grew to comprehend all of a j
client’s rights, and claimed them with a pertinacity which i
nothing on this side of the last judgment of the highest Court i
could subdue or weary. Regarding a lawyer’s neglect of his
client’s cause as criminal, and even dishonorable he was •
guilty of It not once iu his whole professional career. Yet, :
faithful as lie was, and exacting to the last degree of what was
due, lie was not so fond of litigation that he would ask either
from a court or a jury more than he believed was right, and
he was ah. ays ready to propose or to accept a just and honor
able settlement.
It was not easy to become well acquainted with Judge
Thomas; and few men were more frequently misjudged,
whether iu regard to his professional learning, or the motives
of his personal conduct. Never having learned the graces <f
elocution, his language ajidgenoml manner had much of the
old-fashioned usages of old-fashioned times. But lie had
studied the law long and laboriously, and beneath that plain
and sometimes ungainly exterior, it required more than one
view, and more than one combat, to discover the strength of
intellect and the amount of research that were adequate to
the comprehension and the argument at ion of the most id tlicul
questions. We have often been witnesses to the astonisl -
meut and contuse on with which lawyers of much greater
name have looked up from thc-ir defeat to this plain farmer,
who, a little before middle life, had come from his fields to
compete with the greatest for the prizes of forensic struggles.
So also the singleness of his own personal motives, tne igno
rance ot the art of concealment, the difficulty of being brought
U compromise with whatever he behoved to be wrong in
principle or in conduct, made him appear often obstinate, and
sometimes piorosp, Yet every lawyer who know him well
did nut doubt that reliance was never more safe than when it
was given to his sense of the obligations of professional honor
and and all young lawyers, especially, knew, from
the generous assistance that lie was ever ready to extend, that
not one of his equals so cordially sympathized in their *- iak
and embarrassments. Among other difficulties, \l.. Thomas
had always to contend with ill health. From childhood lie
seldom knew what It to be well." But he fought this as
ail others, and, many a time, kep» on Ms way when almost any
othpr man would have been in liis chamber and in his bed. He
was frequently broken down, sometimes on his way to Court,
sometimes *n the midst ol Court business. But his resolution
a: ier the worst paroxysms of sickness, would lift him up again,
and lie would return with renewed ardor to his work. The
increased frequency of such attacks obliged him, in the year
1 19, to retire from the profession. lie did so reluctantly, and
four years afterwards, duringan absence from tho Mato on :*
tour, in sc-apch of the means of assisting ly» health, his mium
having been run fori lie vacant place upon the Beuri* of thc
Northern Circuit he was elected without This
l:wt »l'i-<fe-Umlrui,v so ton ‘ raU 0;l /, tl , hc
aoceptuil, anJ, (tough !► was phifrto see that from this, four
)'«iraof ahscncu from court, ami from lu, Increased InflrmiUcs
of body, liis legal iumit y hail suffered sonic diminution, yet
his decisions were allowed to rank equally with those of any
of Ills predecessors. He was forced again to retire from all
public business, and resigned his office some time before his
term would have expired,
In private life a good nun is always seen to the best advan
tage. In every one of its relations he was a good man. At
hisqome, to which his moat excellent wife had added every
necessary -appointment of taste and comfort, and at other
places yhere he found himself in the midst of friends, he
3 ieldcd to the influence of social intercourse with a freedom
w Inch rendered him a most agreeable companion. If within
these smaller circles he carried the same pertinacity with
winch, when iu Court, he was wont to cling to his own side
ol gieat legal questions, it was one of the especial peculiarities
which imparted u zest to his own society. While his friends
v tie ol ten amused by the quaintness ofliis thoughts nml ex
pioxions, and, by a harmless habit of arguing against all
opinions that wen; not in exact accordance with his own, they
knew lull well that these were no hindrances cither tq a
judgment that was one of-the soundest and safest, or to a love
and friendship that were as pnre and faithful a? sgch tlungt
ever become.
He was emphatically sin hou&4 man—honc&t In every posi- i
tion—as a husband, as a father, as a master, as a citizen, as a I
friend, a citizen, while hc would never give a cent to any i
enterprise t bat he believed to be wrong or useless, 1 1 one thn i
he believed good, he gave with a liberality greater than any '
one else, While lm would often fall below the value in his I
demands fur what he sold, there never lived n man who, ac* j
cording to his meant l , was more willing to pay the full value j
for what he bought. Asa Im iu*, ko was always not only I
innocent of avoiding any risk or responsibility, but lie did i
never hesitate tn administer counsel aud remonstrance when 1
<. em,ed ty. lie necessary. There were very many of tliece '
friends—many who were united to him by tho mutualities of !
feeling and good offices, and many mory who were drawn to |
him by the memories of protection in persecution, and assist- j
ance in want. Ciccrj s .kl that the greater attainment in j
friendship is hen the superior is equal to the Inferior. Kcd
in amicitia superiorem parem esse inferiot-em. j
Fcny tb.orehave been, if any, to whom this praise may more j
justly be accorded. But all the. e, his equals and his inferiors, j
were always suro that whatever differences might arise be- j
tween them and him, in law, in politics, in religion, or an yA
other matter, he would be ready for all the sacrifice that he
could be expected to make.
Though far from being either obstinate or morose, his cont
victlons were remarkably poaitivQ, ju the defense of them
he had a courage which no throat of danger to his person or to
his standing in tlio community could disturb.
There arc few sadder histories of family life. Notwith
' standing thc weakness of Ihs own physical constitution, and
the many tlireatenings of death that ho bad met, it happened
to him to have to bear the £ rief of seeing his wife and all liis
children die before him. No man could l.ve his family more.
We who raw him as hc sat iu liis chair and looked down into
the grave * herein the lest of his beloved—lus daughter—the
only one who bad reached maturity, was being laid—felt that
we saw as great anguish as the human heart could endure and
continue to live. Hereafter, he must tread thc way of life
alone. Yet, he wa* the same as before to his neighbors and
friends. No man could complain less, either in the sickness
body or the anguish of spirit; and tho poor man who, upon
the next day from the burial, wont to him for help, found him
I as patient and as ready oven for the details of charity as at any
j other time.
*lls ut he wc a growing old. The war came. All alone, except
with his servants, he went through its desolations. At last
• he lost these, liis remaining care, for whose being it was a
' most comforting task to provide. Then the darkness that m
: the loneliness of his home had come around him, grew deeper,
i In the davsot liis strength, he bad lived in the humble hope
! of salvation th ough Christ. We do not believe that in the
weakness and darkness of this age, he was altogether wit hou
the Light that once had led him on his way.
He lingered long. Before the summons came, he said he
was willing for the time to come. It came at last, in the
morning of a bright summer day, and he departed from
amongst his friends. When they looked upon him for the
i last time, they felt that it might be long before one could arise
: who would be truer than he had been to all the instincts and
offices of manhood. R. M . J.

Presentments of Grand Jury
. OF EMANUEL COUNTY.
We have inquired into the circumstances connected with
the murder of Col. Ripley recently in tliw county, and wc arc
satisfied that the murder was committed by some unknown
parties, not citizens of tills county, who tied Immediately after
thc murder.
A report being current, and perhaps believed by the United
Slates military authorities, to the effect that there existed in
tills county a regular gang or company of bushwackers or
outlaws, we feel it to be our duty to state that after careful
examination, wc arc fully satisfied that no such organization
exists, or lias existed, since the close of the late war.
Vi c regret to stale in this connection, that a worthy citizen
of this county, Mr. Daniel Coleman has been arrested by the
United States military authorities, changed with complicity
in the murder of Col. Ripley, and after *a legal examination
was had before a Court composed of two Justices of the
Peace, Mr. Coleman being discharged and fully exonerated
from said charge, the United States officers in command of tho
squad of soldiers present, re-arrested him, and carried him to ‘
the military prison in the city of Savannah, where hc now re
mains In close confinement.
As we are fully satisfied that Mr. Coleman is detained in
prison without any just cause whatever, we ask your Honor
ts communicate the facts to Ilis Excellency, Gov. Jenkins.
In taking leave ol his Honor Judge Wright, we express our
appreciation of the diligence with which he performs the
arduous duties of his office, and our acknowledgments arorten
dered to hint and the Solicitor, John R. Prescott, Esq. fur
their uniform courtesy to this body.
