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. [ I'OMMP NIOATED. j The Judgeship. Messrs.

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.

Keeping Too Many Fowls. —Farmers generally make a decided mistake in tvin rering too many fowls. Twenty hens, well cared for, will produce twice as many eggs a# any farmer’s family, of si? persqns, will use, and raise 2QQ, or, if desired, 500 chickens ; but one hundred will not do it if forced to roost, in winter, in trees, de prived of dusting wallows, water, and sun ny. bare ground exposures.

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. ana Comramial. 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.

COTTON,—Our cotton market has ex hibited somo extraordinary iiuctuations 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.

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.

A niateri al advance is reported the Xew York market, _ ally in he avy goods, since i on ' —i-rchants made their purchases, of j which fact country dealers should make a : note.

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.

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 i Lugs 1 Common leaf. 7($10 j Good to fine ....12(o)50 One box of 200 lt,a weight, raised by Mr : •!
