the reception of a basket of declieious
apples from our friend J. i’. Berk*

Louisville, Kv. John l’. Morton A Do.,
l*ul)lJßhers.
We aro indebted t.i the publishers for a
ropy of this hook. Wo loam from tho
Mobile .1 itrertisrr that tho author, 1\ A.

oioal of tlio 15art ill Academy, of Mobile,
mlit lias long been known as an accom

It does not follow, by any means, that,
because there are already so many works
on arithmetic, there is no room for im
provcliiti t. »>n the contrary, there are
few of the se works in which the authors.;
have not been misled, either by a desire for
novelty, or for originality, or for tho estab
lishment of some pet theory of their own.
So far as we have been aide to examine
it, Mr. Towne’s work is free from any of
these mistakes. Though a mathematician
himself, lie does not forget that his work
is intended for learners. Ho lias n<i parti- )
eular theory to establish, and does not sac
rifice any of the excellencies of his prede
cessors for the sake of originality. 11 is
rules and definitions are remarkably clear
mi l simple, as well as correct: and tho
examples are well chosen.
In the m liter of arrangement, Mr. Tow no
lias made some valuable improvements.
It. litis introduced the elements of instruc
tion in dccy/wts in tho beginning of liis
work where i! ought to he -immediately
afier ‘'notation” and “inimeriifon,” and
makes the system of decimal fractions i
pervade t ic whole work, instead of being •
set otv apart, as if it was something separate
and independent. This, of itself, is enough,
we think, to stamp Mr. Tow tie’s hookas
superior to all competitors.
It only romans to add that tho typo- :
graphical execution is excellent. We ctir- j
dialiy commend tile work to tho attention
of teachers and school committees.

A .M nun Srr. -The style o nxvupation
and amuseuient at the baths of Ix-uk, in
Switzerland, is tints described :
A 5 o'clock each morning, a bell is rung
for the bathers to repair to the baths, and
then comes one of the most whimsical
scenes that can be imagined. The kults
are great covered reservoirs capable oi
holding from twenty to fifty persons, and
into these the patients plunge up to their
necks in seething water, where they re
main no less than four hours at a tune .
and many of them twice a day. M?u and
women enter the same tanks, swimming
about at will, or fixing themselves behind
little floating tables, on which they take
breakfast, or read books, or play games of
dominoes and chess. It is necessary, to
relieve the tedium of so long an ablution,
to do something for amusement’s sake,
and the songs, the speeches, the repartees,
the choruses, the roars of laughter, the
shouts of applause that follow eaeh other,
are endless. All the resources of French
vivacity are brought into play to pas- the
time; and the effect of a half hundred
heads, which is all you can see of the per
sons tints variously engaged, is to the last
degree droll.

My Child.
BY REV. JOHN PIEKPONT.
I cannot makehim dead!
His fair sunshiny head
Is ever bounding roirn-1 my study chair ;
Yet when inv eyes, now dini
With tears, 1 turn to him.
The vision vanishes—he is not there !
I walk my parlor floor,
And, through the open dcor,
I hear a footfall on the chamber stair ;
I'm stepping toward the hail
To give the boy a call ;
And then bethink me that—he is not there!
I tread the crowded street ;
A satchel I'd lad 1 meet,
With the same beaming eyes and colored
hair ;
And, as he’s running by*,
Follow him with uiy eye,
Scarcely believing that—fie is not there !
I know his face is hid
Under the coffin lid ;
l 1 arc- his eyes ; cold his forehead fair;
My hand that marble felt ;
O'er it in prayer 1 knelt;
Vet my heart whispers that—ho is not
there !
i cannot make him dead !
Whom pa-sing by the lied,
So long watched over with parental care.
Mv spirit and my eye
Se<-k it inquiringly.
Before the thought comes that—lie is not
there!
When, at the cold, gray break
i )f day, from sleep I wake,
With my "first breathing of the morning
air
My sou! goes up, with joy,
To Him who gave my boy,
Then • uncs the sad thought that—he is not
there !
When at day’s calm close,
Before me seek repose,
I’m with his mother, offering up our
prayer,
Whate’er I may be saying,
I am, in spirit, praying
For our boy's spirit, though—ho is not
there !
Not there ! —Where, then, is he?
The form I Used to see
Was but tlie eavine-d that he used to wear, ]
Tbo grave, that now doth press
Upon that cast-off dress, |
Ig but the wardrobe lock’d ;—he is not i
there !
(
lie lives! In ali the past
He lives ; nor, to the last,
Os seeing him again will I despair ;
In dreams I sec- him now ;
And, on his angel brow,
I see it written, “Thou slialt see me] there'.'’ i
Yes, we all live to God !
Father thy chastening rod
So help us, thine afflicted ones, to bear, i
That in the spirit land,
Msetingat thy right hand,
’Twill be our joy to"find that he is there !

Crop Prospects.
COTTON.
Our weekly compilation of crop intelli"
gence is, it will be seen, almost universal- i
ly discouraging. Our extracts aro from all i
the sources at our command, embracing |
tho leading journals of tlie West and South
west. \Ve have made a fair compilation, j
omitting nothing that was encouraging
from any quarter ; indeed, with a single
exception relating to a portion of Louisi
ana, which tlie reader will observe, we
have not seen an item relating to cotton
during the week that is encouraging.
Everything tells of rust, worm, rot and a
large falling off in tlie prospect of a month j
ago.
Tlie editor oftlie Monro (La.,) Intclligcn- \
cer, who has been traveling over the ad- j
joing parishes, says that in Jackson parish
some planters will not make a bale to ten
acres planted. In Morehouse the cotton is
good; corn a total failure. In Union cot
ton will not pay tlie cost of raising. In
Ouachita the river lands will do well; other
lands not at all.
Tho Galveston (Texas) News price cur
rent, of the 20th lilt., says the news front
the State grows worse and worse. Worms
and wet weather have prevailed almost
universally. A small part of the State, in
the west, and a portion in the extreme
north, may not have received quite as
much injury as tho rest, but the assuranco
from two-thirds of the cotton region is that
planters will not realize more than half
what they expected a month ago. We
could back this assertion by extended
quotations, but deem it unnecessary. The
North is determined to believe that the
crop will amount to no loss than two mil
lions oi bales; and bad reports lroin here
xvill not induce it to changp its mind,
England is ip an incredulous state as to
bad reports from this country. We cer
tainly wish, so far at least as Texas is con
cerned, that we had better to give.
The Memphis Appeal says the latest
accounts of the crop are very unfavorable
and prove highly stimulating to the mar
ket. A letter ironi one of our. most experi
enced cqtton paercitants, front Chicot
county, Arkansas, ope of the most prolific
cotton districts on the continent, dated
September 27, says: “I have seen many
crops of cotton, and have watched the pro
gress of the worms; they aro everywhere
in this section in countless millions. In
another week there will not boa cotton
leaf to be seen on the stqllis. Many of the
planters Jiorq'will've utterly broken
9P fU 8 ye.a'r; growers are dreadfully low
inspirits. My ideas of the extent of the
crop aro greatly rcducedsin™, I left home.”
This writer had estimated this season’s
product at one and a half million bales.
Another letter received fromy, „ oil known j
planter residing Council Bluff, Ark.,
sax : yii'iti ijoous of rain 1 never before \
saw, at this time of tho year. The cotton
is literally rotting in heaps, and that !
which has been gathered is hepting and I
rotting in the few the want of sun
to dry g The prospect is dismal enough.” !
ihe Brandeh (Miss.) Republican, of thy
29th, says the unprecedented fail v q ra ,; u j
during the past iponfp has very laap-Ajiy
injured in this section! The j
drought ruined the com crop, and now the !
rain is trying to finish the planters entirely
by rotting all their cotton. We hear a
great deal of complaint of the ars»y worm, !
but our impression is that it is only the
grass worm, ami that it will not materially I
injure the cotton. A few days of genial
sunshine would considerably revive tiie
droophig spirits of our p’amiog friends.
A corr , J py£,t.kA.t of A# New. Orleans
. Tmes thus refers to thh speculation „oout 1
the exuntuf the growing crop: “Fror- /j ’
■ first of planting i believed the crop
. not exceed tweßohy tn^re( jthousand bales,
| and I have not since doubted I was correct.
I still think so, and now rc-fer you to the
extract from Dr. Forbes’ communication
111 .vour valuable paper, dated. 7th inst. I
am now satisfied the crop will not reach
j one niilliou bates. If I am correct, Eng
i land s manufacturers could deal the Amer
ican manufacturers a death blow. Let
Englishmen buy up the one million bales
; and take them he-me, not to sell them
; ajpun, "hat would Uncle Sam’s spinning
jennies do then? This is entirely practi
cable. One hundred millions of dollars in
gold would do it.”
The Hinds county (Mias.) Gazette says
we hear great complaints of the ravages of
the worm in the cotton fields in different
parts of this country. In some instances
we are told, a clean sweep has been made,
and not a bale of cotton 'rill be gathered
to each ton acres planted. The constant
rains of the past month have, no doubt,
finished up the job, and the worms will
now kindly step in and relieve us entirely
of the labor of “ cotton picking, thus af
fording our planters ample time to improve
their places and get insupplies of fire-wood
for the winter!
The Vicksburg (Miss.) Tinges, of thezTth,
says: “At this moment it is almost a fore
gone conclusion that scarcely more than a
quarter of a yield will be realised, even
from the land which has been planted in
ootb>n, and in the hilly portion of the
country, where the drought has been more
severely felt, and those sections which have
been swept by the worm, it is hardly un
fair to say, that tho crop is a complete
j abortion.

REVIEW OF _ THE AUGUSTA MAKKET,
, FOP. THE WEEK ENDING OCT. 6TK, 1866.
[lt should be borne in mind that our
l quotations represent wholesale prices. Small
: bills, to Planters and others, are filled at a
shade his/her rates.]
i REMARKS.—Business has been quite
brisk during the week ; our streets have
been crowded with wagons, and country
merchants have been looking through the
market for their fall supplies. We have
but few changes to note in the general
market. There has been an advance in
cotton goods, on account of the enhanced
price of that staple; and flour has moved
up with the Western markets a little.
| Bacon is firm and in good demand and
prime meats are getting scarce.
The business of a number of leading
houses, especially in clothing and dry
goods, has been interrupted by the bustle
and confusion incident to moving. With
the opening of next week all will be ready
to receive their customers, and perchasers
will find stocks equal to the wants of the
country.
FINANCIAL.—GoId has been gradually
moving up during the week, and during
the last two or three days the demand has
been active. Our brokers buy at 147 aud i
sell at 149® 150. Silver, buying at 188, and
selling at 140. The scarcity of money has
•been more sensibly felt during tho week
than at any time during the season,and loans
could not be effected save at a ruinous rate
of interest. We learn that funds are ex
pected here from abroad to meet the wants
of trade, and a relief from the prevailing
stringency is looked for. Securities and
bank bills continue dull at our quotations:

during the week. Wo quoted jit the close
of our last report as follows :
Low middling 33
Middling 34
Strict middling 35£
Good middling 36
The market was unsettled during tho
day on Saturday by the error of the cable,
reporting a decline in Liverpool, and only
a few sales were made at lower rates. Late
on that day the error was corrected, the
Liverpool market having advanced to 13£d,
On Monday the market was unsettled, with
an advancing tone, and sales of 409 bales
were reported at 34 to 26 cents, a few bales
being sold at higher rates. On Tuesday
there was a brisk demand at an advance of
2to 3 cents, and holders being firm, only
151 bales were sold at 36 to 40 peqts, Mid
dling was quoted at 38@89; strict to good
middling, 40@41 cents. On Wednesday,
buyers came to a halt, and sellers making
no concession, sales were only 63 bales at
35 to 40 cents. 011 Thursday prices di'opped
off almost as remarkably as they had gone
up, and 151 bales were sold at 35 to 38 cents,
Sales of the week as reported to us were
1,404, Receipts of the week, 1,492 bales,
The stock of cotton on hand in Augusta
and Hamburg onltho Ist inst,,*hy actual
count, was 7,278 bales,
Postscript— Saturday, P. M.
COTTON. —The market is fiat, with a
slight decline on yesterday’s prices. Sales
to-day 181. bales, as follows: —3 at 34, 21 at
35, 4at 351, 1.15 at 36, and 38 bales at 36}

COTTON RECEIPTS.
The receipts of the first month of the cot
ton year, wore formerly considered imports
ant as affording some index to the extent
of the crop, \Ve Have been unable to coin
pile a full statement of the receipts for
September, but a glance at several qf the
leading cotton ports wSU bo interesting.
We have taken the receipts of 1859-GO,,as
affording a fair basis for comparison :
Receipts for Sept., 1866. 1859.
New Orleans 10,496 145,890
Mobile 3,493 48L800
Savannah 6,793 lb-40’0
Charleston 0,086 13,091
‘M ttl'J 234,147
Thus it will bo seen that the four princi
pal ports show an aggregate of receipts for
the month of September of a little over
one-eighth the receipts of 1859, for the shine
period.
BACON. —Theyo Ims ap, active de
mand during the week and, prices aye firm
without any quotable change, Prime
meat is ip light supply,
FLOUR, —There is a better feeling in
flour and holders of Western are firm. The
city mills have advanced tlicir quotations
50 cents to §1 a barrel. See “Prices Cuv
rent."’
WHEAT*—The arrival of- Georgia and
Tennessee wheat are very light, and the
graffo is usually low. Good wheat is in de
mand at an advance of 2.3(3,30 cents
bushel on our last quotations. We quote
white, at .82 75(5)3 00; red, §2 40(5,2 75. A
lot of prime white would bring .8.3 25.
CORN.—There has been ad demand
corn, and p,rio,f. nave an upward ten
dency, Uioiigh we do not alter our quota
tions. Corn meal is active at 81 55 from
the mill at wholesale.
COTTON GOODS. —There has an !
active inquiry for cotton, goods, and prices
have advanced, of which we
refer to. our table..
BAGGING. —The unfavorable reports of
the cotton crop, which continue to come in
from »H sections, have destroyed fconli- j
denee iff bagging, and prices ary we ak. We 1
quote 38(6,40 cents as * he current
a standard Juticle. Some holders arc till- ;

Petersburg Tobacco Market.
Tho first regular sale of tobacco at the
Commercial Exchange in Petersburg, took
place on Tuesday last. The Express says:
One hundred and ten hogsheads of tobac
co were offered and sold. The lot em
braced lugs, common leaf, good lea! and
prime leaf, ants realized prices ranging
from 86 up to $59 ft cwt. Several boxes oi
loose fancy quality were also put up, and
knocked out at, figures hereinafter stated.
About lot o'clock the summons to busi
ness was sounded, and the auctioneer, t <u.
E. A. Wyatt, ascended the stand, in com
pany with S, V. Watkins, sr., the ."secre
tary and Treasurer. The sales were open
ed with the samples from Westhill W arO T
j house, that being the first break, continued
i with Centre Warehouse, (second fircaK ~
i Oaks, (third break), and oonoluded Wta
Moore's, (fourth hreak . about 2. o o,ock.
Instead of giving the price of each hogs
! head, we will, at the suggestion ot mem
: hers of the Board of Exchange, and promi
nent buyers, classify the grades of the t>-
j banco, and publish the extreme figures
realized for them, as follows:
I No. of hhds sold..- W 71 1 .0

One box of 200 lt,a weight, raised by Mr

One box of prime, bright coal-cured leaf,
raided by Mr ,1 II Pemberton, of Pittsyl
vania county, Va, at the extraordinary tig
gure ol 81,125 ft ley tbs. Purchased In-
Mr Win R Johnston.
The bidding upon this latter sample was
spirited and of the most interesting nature,
and when it was knocked out a round, we
may almost say, of applause greeted the
purchaser. It v. iilbe used as wrappers lor

Boston Uiv i(lends.
Including banks the total amount of Oc
tober dividends in Boston is over {(3.300,000.
Ol forty-five banks twenty-four divide 5 V
cent., eight 6tp cent., eight 4 f 1 cent., and
one each of 7}, 7, 4}, 3} and 3 V* cent,, nver
aging a fraction over 5 p cent. The foot
ings for two years compare as follows:
_ Capital. Amount.
Total, April, 1866 $42,550,000 §2,138,500

lotal, April, 1865 40,550,000 2,384,000
The Boston Commercial says a noticeable
feature of the bank dividends at this time
is the great uniformity as compared with
April last, the only change being old Bos
ton Bank from 5 to 6, and Webster 5 10 4 f. 1
cent, A like instance lias never before oc
curred among the banks in this city, and
