The Associated l’rc**>. The New York Herald' says that no changes have been made in the arrange ments of the Associated Press, save the dismissal of 1). H. Craig, and the appoint ment of Mr. Siminston, to whom all local agents throughout the country will send their reports. We believe the local agents throughout this part of the country con tinue to send their reports to Mr. Craig. How to Hegulatc Prices. A New York lady writes the 'J’imesof that city, to complain of the high price of bon nets. Her remedy might he applied in any latitude. She says : One day last week 1 went into a loading rnilinery on Sixth Avenne, for the purpose of purchasing a bonnet. 1 saw only one which suited my taste—a plain black silk, trimmed only without beads, and the price was sls. I did not take the bonnet, but went to work and made one exactly like it, at a cost of $4 61. Pasting and Prayer. It will be seen from our Legislative re ports, that the House has adopted a resolu tion sotting apart Friday, 22d inst., as a day o£Pa*ting and Prayer. It will be borne in mind that the (‘resident has appointed Thursday, 29th, for a National Thanks giving. It cannot bo doubted that fasting and prayer are eminently suited to the condition of the people of our State, and ! while we have much occasion for gratitude j to the arbiter of our destiny, there is more j pi our national affairs to call also for fast- ' ingiirid prayer than for thanksgiving. Medical College of Georgia. The commencement exercises of this vcleran institution were held yesterday at ‘ the Medical College, the introductory ad dr.-ss having bom delivered by Professor Jiains. The audience, comprising a full quota of medical students and a very re spectable number of ladies arid citizens, was not disappointed, for the well-known scientific attainments of the speaker afford ed a good guarantee of an interesting anil instructive lecture, it was replete with sound advice to the former, who, doubtless, regard it as the precursor of a highly in structive course upon Chemistry and Medi cal Philosophy. The relations of medicine to the natural sciences are so intimate and a knowledge of them so essential to a complete medical education, that special prominence must be given them in every school, and, In this particular, we fully believe that the course now inaugurated by the present Professor of Chemistry will far surpass any hereto* de live red. The Faculty certainly made n wise selection and gained a great acqui sition of talent, industry, and lecturing ability in Prof Kains. The numerous friends ofthis College will b" gratified to learn that its prospects were never brighter, and that the patronage of tins session is likely to very large for the times. We would respectfully direct the atten tion of physicians, and particularly of medical students, to the superior clinical advantages to be had now at this College. More extensive than in the past, they are also equal, if not superior, to those of any Southern institution similarly located, lie ides the City Hospital, the Faculty have access to the large government hospi tal for the freedmen. This affords abun dant mail rial, having an average of about eighty patients, and furnishing such dis eases as are incident to the season and sec tion. We would notforgot to mention, that this great clinical resource lias been obtalnod> through the conl-tesy and generous consid eration of the U. N. oflicers on duty in this department. The Faculty in return have tendered the use of their anatomical rooms and other facilities to llio medical officers of the I ’.

It is useless to go North or further South, if the best clinical instructions can be had so near home. Crops in Southern Georgia. The liainhridgo Aryan says: “The heavy frost on last Thursday morning, throughout this .section—much heavier in suiiie loealilies than in others—concludes the interesting subject of the crops for the present season. Our planters find that tlio September rams did no: injure the cotton as seriously as was foaiv.i they would; nor have the eatterpillar and rust done very great dam age. The col ton crop of llecatur, and in adjoining counties, will be considerably more than half an average one. Some think it, will reach two-thirds of the yield of is it. A gentleman from Miller esti mates : lie cotton crop of that county at a lull a- erage crop, lie says corn is plenti ful there and is selling at $1.25 per bushel. The corn crop of this county is sorry, hut we think it sufficient to supply the de mands of our people. .Some of our planters never made a better corn crop than they did this year, hut their number is small. M any have not made half as much as they usually do. We are pleased to know that peas, pota toes and sugar cane wore never better; nor do we suppose a greater breadth of land lias ever been planted in these im portant products than has been planted tins year. The late rains were of great service in promoting these crops, and hence, are not much deplored. The Albany Patriot, 8d insl, says : “Tiie planters are now beginning to bring their now crop of cotton to market and the staple looks beautiful. From in formation derived from all sources, we are led to believe there will not be a halfu crop made throughout this section. In view that this is the heart of the cotton re gion of Georgia we are willing to, place the amount of the present crop, to bo received at this point at 16,000 bales, and we think this is a safe and rea sonable calculation. In 1860 tho receipts to March 7, were 85,9"d•bales. Georgia. There are five candidates for Mayor in Atlanta.

FROM NEW TORS. Closing Scenes of the Campaign - Butler , , Tries to Speak —The Fenians—Max. Mex.—Cotton —Money, «ie. Monday, Nov. 5. Dear Chronicle: —The closing public scene of tbe week was the i REPUBLICAN RATIFICATION MEETING. The weather was not propitious. Rea ;h --1 ing the City Hall Park at an early hour, your correspondent had a fair opportunity j of seeing the meeting in its forming Mate. I It was quite evident that there was a strong feeling even among Republicans I against General Butler, who had been an : nounced in the morning papers as the : principal speaker, while the Democrats | were unsparing in their denunciations, I heightened by all possible expletives. “Luck at the spalpeen, the dirty spoon-stealing thafe—luck at him !’ ’ were the first words that greeted my car as I approached the | stand, and they were uttered in as ‘‘rich | an Irish brogue'’ a the refined cur of‘the j late Lieut. Gen. Scott could have desired. | Shifting my position, for the nonce, in a j company with a very Islamite in Rcpubii j can faith, who said : “I told them it was : a mistake to ask that miserable creature here. I was startled by: “Hurrah for Butler - ’ —“three groans tor Butler “spoons”—“get out” —“go home” — “spoons—spoons”—“put him out’ ’ —' how are you, Cockeye?” These, and other ex- ; pressions, with hisses and groans, com pletely drowned the cheers, as well as all j that was said by the speaker. Such was the reception. For a loDg : time the speaker stood quietly; but there was no abatement of noise, cries, groans, j Ac. At length he commenced ; but it was j impossible to hear and ' very frequently utterly impossible to catch j the eourd of his voice. Shortly iiefore the i close ofthis scene, three cheers of consider- j able volume emanated from those around the j stand. Immediately the turbulence increased I and there was a surging movement of the ’ mass towards the stand, with loud threats and curses, accompanied by violent ges- j tures, and yells and cries of all sorts. — j Turning to a well-dressed man, standing | near, I inquired the cause of this increase I in excitement. He said, laughingly, “lie has told them that he (Butler) had hung ! better men than they were, in Baltimore i and New Orleans, and might have a ; chance at them yet.” “And,” lie eon- , tinued, “it would be no had idea to form a ring upon the Kilkenny principle, for both Butler and Joe, with their followers. ; I think we should have peace and quiet | then.” At the close of the address, so called, there was a feeble attempt to cheer i the orator of the evening, but an outburst; of hooting, yelling, groans, with every ; species of noise conceivable, overwhelmned it so that the applause was scarcely audi ble. The next speaker introduced was HORACE C REEFY. The quiet, orderly and attentive de meanor of the crowd, while this gentleman ; was speaking, was in strong contrast with the previous scenes. It was wonderful, indeed, to see the same men so quiet, so orderly and respectful. It was not long, however, before the numbers moving off disclosed the iaet that the main point of interest had passed, and that the meeting was being dissolved. There is some talk of another FEN IA N MOVE.M ENT on Canada ; and there have been some re ports by telegraph of another alarm in Canada West. But little importance is attached to them Imre. It is even whis pered that these little alarms are gotten up to prevent the home government from re- ! laxing their interest in provincial affairs. Great Britain has now, it is said, twenty thousand regular troops in the.Canadas. The disbursements growing out of the maintenance of this force, form an item of no inconsiderable importance to provin cial trade. In addition to this, the “Home Government” is expending large sums ini fortifying Quebec, Ottawa, and other j points. A redan of about six miles long, covered by the bastioned forts, i:: being j constructed at Point Levi, opposite Que bec. The earth-work which forms the face of those forts, is sixty ieet in width. This example will. furnish your readers some idea of “tho defences” in the course of preparation, and off tho magnitude of the disbursement. “A little scare,” now and then, is rather relished by tho Kanucks. as for the benefit of trade. There is, how ever, a restless, uneasy feeling among the “loyal Canadians,” growing more out of the fact that there are some twenty-seven thousand men in Canada West, and forty four thousand in Canada East, who served their apprenticesnip in the art of war as part and parcel of the United States army, during the past six years. This makes United States claim and bounty agents, and United States army overcoats, visible rath er oftener than is desirable for comfort in ■ time of Fenian movements. LA VAMOSE EN LA RANCHE, as executed by his Royal Highness, Max imilian Ist, seems to be regarded as con clusive evidence that Mexico is to be gov- j erned under the joint auspices of France j and the United States ; and that while the j Minister Plenipotentiary will arrange with i the dr facto President the proclamations, General Sherman and Marshal Bazaine will arrange the conditions of government, and control the order and the character of events —Sub rosa. COTTON. The recent advance in Liverpool, predic ted upon an advance in the East India market without having much effect upon this market, lias produced considerable discussion. The marked improvement in the staple of India cotton, together with the increased production both in India and Egypt, suggest the probability that the con trol of the surplus cotton of the world, has passed from the United States, and will remain for a very long time to come with 1 Great Britain. The estimates of the Egyp- ! tian and India crops, now form the basis for cotton operations, where formerly the j American crop was only considered. The ! circular of the Liverpool Cotton Broker’s Association, of the 11th of October, con ; tains the following significant passages: “The cotton market was dull on Friday, j but became firmer on Saturday, and has | since been active at gradually hardening | prices, owing to the advices from Bombay \ of higher rates, and notwithstanding lower quotations from Xue York, the tank closes firmly , with an advance iu most deserip- . tions. The tonnage of the United States i increased pari passu, with the increased production of cotton. "Will it retrograde ! in like proportion ? MONEY ! continues easy and abundant, while there has been an actual advance in gold, the ! opinion is held generally that the large amount of sterling exchange that will arise ! from the shipment of cotton, will constrain a tendency downward, until at least the Ist of March. M. FROM YE\ICO. TUr Umpire at an End. The Mexican Minister, Romero, on Tuesday, received the following letter, by way of New Orleans, dated Vera Cruz, Oct. 26, 1866: " Maximilian left the City of Mexico "on the 28dinst., resigning verbally in favor of Gen. Bazaine. Gen. Bazaine endeavored to persuade him to delay his departure until Gen. Castehiaus arrival two days later: but he declined, and. escorted fey v.ty Austrians, proceeded to Orizaba, by cross-roads, to avoid meeting with Gen. Castelnau. He reached Orizaba yesterday, and is expected here to-morrow. The Captain of the Austrian frigate. Daduota. states that as soon as Maximilian arrives he will at once leave for Europe. It is said that Maximilian will publish to-day a manifesto at Orizaba. Gen. Castelnau reached the Cuy of Mexico soon after Maximilian left, and took possession of the palace and assumed the "reins” ot government. The French soldiers who had entered under Maximilian’s colors will be returned to France under Gen. Castel uau’s influence, Gen. Porfirio l*iaz has captured the City of Oazaca. taking all the artillery, ammunition, men and supplies.” Two women killed a wolf the other day in Bates county. Missouri. The wolf had been catching chickens, and on being dis turbed ran to a fence, which it endeavored to pass through, but was caught by the hind leg by one of the women and held fast, while the other woman went to the other side of the fence and beat the wolf to death with a club. Tbe Technicbal Terms or the Stock Ex change. Tu the uninitiated, some of the terms used on the stock exchange would appear j little better than echoes from Babel. "Bulls” and “bears,” “consols" and I “scrip,” “contango" and “backwarda tions,” “options” and “omniums." and a [ ho.-t of others, would strike Lis ear, either j conveying no meaning at all, or one ludic rously different from that intended to be i conveyed. -Vs many, however, are inter ; c.-ted in knowing what the like means, it , will scarcely he considered out of our prov ! into if we can endeavor to enlighten them.- “Consols” is an abbreviation of the term consolidated annuities, which date their origin from the year 1751, and bear at the present time 3 per cent, interest, “fierip” is analogously a contraction of “subscrip tion," and is applied to the stocks given in 1 exchange Ihr a loan, a re iuced scrip, con sol N-r:p, Ac. “Omnium ’is the term by wliieh the whole of the stock of which a Government! jau consists is designated. A “1 ill” i ■ one who : lys in the ex] j Gun of being abie to soil again at a higher ; price, and a “bear” is. conversely, one who | sells in the hope of bringing down prices, ijgnd of the delivering what he has sold by i purchases made at cheaper rate —in other words, the bull speculates for a rise and; i the bear for a fall. A “stag,” or, as he is I sometimes called an outsider, i.s one who ’is not a member of the Stock Exchange, : but deals outside, and traffics in letter of ! allotment obtained under fictitious names “Contango” expresses the amount paid j per share or per cent, which a buyer pays to a seller for carrying overthe shares from one account to another, t <-., tor a period • longer than they were originally bought for. “Backwaraization ’Jexpresses the converse, i e. . the sum which a seller pays for not j being obliged to deliver the shares at the ! time before agreed upon, but carry them j over to the following account. In English ; and foreign stocks and shares, the settling j days are twice in every month, the middle j and the end ; and the eousols only once, from about the 6th to the 11th. “Options” are resorted to in nearly eve : ry kind of shares, and might be used in ! a!!. They consist in either what is called a ' “put and call” or a “put” or “call.” A ! “put and call” is when a person i agrees to give a certain sum for the choice of buying or selling a certain amount of stock at a certain time, the price and date being there and then fixed- A “put” is where the money is given tor the option of the only selling stock ; and a “call” where the party reserves to himself the right of i buying, price and date being in both cases ! agreed upon, and the “option” money’ i paid at the time of the agreement. If. at the I expiration of the- “option” time, the | price be the same as the “option” price, i the person who has paid the money has j the right to buy, sell, or neither, as he ! thinks proper. There are various other terms, but their importance is secondary. A glance, liow : ever, at those wc have given, will at once : show the spirit which too largely pervades ; stock exchange business, viz : gambling. : The “bull” buys and the “bear” sells; if the price of the shares in which both arc dealing, rises, the “bull” is not only so much in pocket, but the “bear” is obliged to buy to meet his engagements, and there by to augment the price against himself and the whole of his brother “bears” at the same time. In the same way the ba sis of the whole proceedings in which “put and call,” and “put” or “call” are brought into operation, is altogether one of gam bling. The chances, mixed with what ap pears probability, of a rise or bill within a given time, arc taken, and on these the parties speculate. If both are satisfied to continue the _ game, “contango” and “backwardation” come into play, and enable them to do so without increasing the trouble of commencing the transactions afresh.” But let it not be supposed that the mem bers of the Stock Exchange are in all or even the majority of cases the principals in such bargains ; on the contrary, it is the outside public, and how often some of these come to grief the records of bank ruptcy show, The brokers and jobbers are mere intermediaries between one section of speculators and another, and are certainly as little, if not less, to be blamed than those who employed them. Still the evil of speculation, like all other evils, has its attendant good. It is at the present time all but essential to the floating of any un dertaking, however excellent. It is a pity that it should be so, but if bona tide in vestors will not embark in any scheme whose shares do not carry a premium, someone who knows the concern must manufacture the premium for them. —«■»- Summary.

FROM MILLEDGEYIMiE. I Milledgeville, November B.—The I Senate passed the bill forbidding the distil j lation of cereals. | The House passed the bill validating ap prenticeship contracts made under the auspices of the Freedman’s Bureau. The House rejected the bill authorizing the redemption of State Road change bills. The Committee on the Constitutional I Amendment will report to-morrow. The t Report argues at length against the amend ] ment, and advocates its rejection. Rejection of the Constitutional Amend ment. Milledgeville, November 9.—The Legislature rejected the Constitutional Amendment this day at one o’clock. The rejecting resolution reads as follows : Resolved, That the Legislature of Geor gia declines to ratify the Constitutional Amendment adding a fourteenth section to the Constitution of tho United States. • A motion ivas made in the Senate post poning its consideration to some future day, but was amended to the mere adop tion of tho above resolution, and this passed—yeas, 36; nays, none—the full Senate voting. In the House the vote stood yeas 131, nays 2—Ellington, of Gilmer, and Hum phrey’s, of Fannin. i The Committee on reporting this resolu | tion accompany the report with a lengthy | argument, the substance of which is as fol lows: | First. That tho States of the United : States alone are authorized to consider ! Constitutional Amendments, j Second, That such amendments must be | proposed by two-thirds of Congress \ or tho Legislatures of two-thirds of the i States. Third, That Georgia was one of the i original States, and must always have con tinued such unless she reserved the right to secede or gave the right to the Federal Government to eject her. The report adduces the legislation of Congress, the proclamations of the Presi dent, and the issues made during the war by the Government of the United States to prove that it was held by that Govern ment that no State could secede, and the war only interrupted the practical rela tions of the States thereto ; and the sup pression of tho rebellion was to restore these relations fully, and the Constitution then became the supreme law of the land. The argument then goes on to declare that Georgia and the other Southern States are integral parts of Congress, and that no Constitutional Congress can be convened while such integral portions are forcibly ex cluded. It says the adoption of the Emancipation amendment is no precedent for tbc adop tion of this. The Southern States, during that time, had no delegations to be received into Con gress as now, when they are denied admit tance; and then concludes by saying that as the amendment in question was not proposed by two-thirds of a Constitutional Congress, the Committee recommended the adoption of the resolution above given. The balance of the proceedings are unim pertant. Milledgevii-le, November 10.—The proceedings of the Legislature to-day are not specially important, private and local bills being up. FROM NEW YORK.

On the 3d of September, 1855, a queen of art appeared among us. Few who were present at the new Winter Garden Theatre on that night can forget the enthusiasm of shout and flowers which greeted Rachel as she advanced in the Homan robe of Ca mille, full of dignity, yet of grace, with that peculiar plastic beauty which belonged to her, and her alone, preserving, amid the tumult of welcome, a classic attitude, so full of calm dignity that you might range the galleries of art and not find a statute to surpass her in severity or in symmetry. A few weeks and she left our shores, weary, wan and wasted, to lay her bleeding heart at the foot of the statue of another queen of art, whom France had lifted up and worshipped. Eleven years have elapsed, and on the 20th of September, 1866, that rival queen appears among us. Many distinguished in every branch of art, who were present on the 3d of September, 1855, to welcome Rachel, were present on the 20th instant to greet Ristori. She, too, has achieved a triumph. Rachel was singularly devoid of moral beauty. Ristori’s.nature abounds with it. The impression produced by it cannot be described —it must be felt; and where it is not felt it does not exist. In Rachel we felt nothing of a moral beauty. Even her physique proclaimed a purely sensuous or ganization—a sensuous organization senti neled, it is true, by a compact and masterly intellect, as her remarkable and eloquent brow denoted, but not escorted by those higher faculties of heart and soul which manifest themselves in the generous aud spirited fullness of Ristori’s face, the gentle and soft expression of her eyes, the chaste and subdued expression of the mouth, without which the highest intellect loses its grace, the most soaring genius its humani ty. Rachel's eyes glimmered and sparkled according to the torch of sensation she chose to light up to suit the occasion ; but they failed to convey that illumination of the soul which shines out with such _ beau teous radiance in Ristori’s, which in its sin cere and chaste fealty to truth and prin ciple might be less scintillating with little jewels of sensation, but is more deeply im pregnated with a high moral tone. Then, Rachel’s mouth was a very crater of sensu ality, and thence came her terrible power in portraying carnal passions. Her cheeks were not’generously full or her nose high spirited and looking upward like llistori’s. The cheeks were cold and thin, and the downward bend of her nose gave a low ex pression to the features. For one gentle word we remember in her whole stage vocabulary, we retain a thou sand of anger, fierceness and rage. To create a sensation by the manifestations ot generous feelings, an immense moral power is requisite, which Rachel had not; while the furor created by fierce emotions would not be possible without the predominance of the mal nature which Rachel had. While we may admire, then, those sub lime legerdemains of artistic skill which enabled Rachel to assume so many admir able phases of look, attitude and expres sion, we cannot place her, as a tragedienne, upon the same high platform as Ristori. Rachel was like the sculptor who uses clay and marble for any statue the designer may desire, and threw the clay and marble of her intellect round any sensation the stage might require. We are fascinated by the beauty of the clay and the glow of the marble; but we draw no inspire tion. There is only clay anti marble, and no touch of the woman’s soul. In Ristori we draw any amount of inspiration from the rich Italian she throws into her action. There is so much of soul that there may be less of clay and marble. There is more of the tragedienne and less of the artiste. The execution may he less elaborate, the finish less perfect, even the impression less fascinating and the in fluence less intoxicating, but the effect is more lasting; and long after the brain statues have left our mind the soul struc tures of Ristori will find there a home and habitation. Rachel might give a pose plastique, for instance, of one of Shaks pcarc's women, but Ristori could make us feel her presence. Let us hope, as we have mentioned Shakspeare, that Ristori will give us her splendid picture of Lady Macbeth. Her sleeping scene in Lady Macbeth is said to be beyond anything seen or imagined, and to keep half of those who see it awake the whole night. Nothing whatever of the tragedy queen in it —none of the Siddons traditions or the melodramatic clap-trap of that ponderous she-Forrest, Charlotte Cush man. No description can give the faintest description of the fatuous, vacuous state of the blinded physical orbs, yet percep tive mental visions ; the soul speaking out the eyes, yet the eyes themselves, without corporeal sight, seeing nothing eternally, yet reflecting everything within the crater of the guilt-burning heart. Throughout, Ristori plays the part with her face. — New York Citizen. A Father and 'J*hiee Children Per ish.—The New Orleans Picayune says: “On Friday afternoon Mr. Jas. Thomp son. a laboring man of Oldtown. went in a boat to a small island on the Milford side to obtain a load of sand—taking with him all his children—three boys from four to ten years of age. lie loaded his boat with four barrels of sand, which made her so heavy that in returning he could not man age her in the quick water below the bridge, and finding that she was likely to go into the rapids below, he threw over two of the barrels, which caused the weight of the other two to upset the boat. As the boat went over, Mr. Thompson was seen to grasp his three children, but the swift cur rent of rips earned them under and out of sight. It was a place where the strongest swimmer must have perished. Their bo dies had not been recovered when our in formant left. Mr. T. leaves a wife to mourn the untimely loss of her husband and chil dren.” and (Tomumrial. REVIEW OF THE AlhlSi.l illllkET, FOR TUB WEEK ENDING NOV. lOTH, 1866. {lt should he borne in mind that our quotations represent wholesale prices. Small hills, to Planters and others, are Jilted at a shade higher rates.] REMARKS.—Business has been fair for the past week, with only a few changes iu nv leading articles. Cotton is coining in quite freely, and commands a price so satisfactory as to leave no occasion for withholding it from the market. The stock of bacon has been increased by heavy arrivals, and prices are lower. Corn con tinues scarce and higher, with a prospect of a still further advance. Flour is scarce and very stiff. Salt tends upward. In groceries there are no changes of note, and our dealers are doing a healthy trade. The receipts of cotton for the. lirst two mouths of the current crop year amount to about 160,000 bales. I. is found from a comparison of the receipts of several years that the average amount of the total crop received during September and October has been a fraction over 10 cent. Tak ing this as as a basis, we arrive at 1,600,000 as the crop of the present year. It may be urged tiiat the delay occasioned by the clumsy arrangement for collecting tho revenue has prevented the usual amount of the crop front coming forward to mar ket. On the other hand it should bo re membered that the necessities of raising money lias forced planters to hurry for ward their crop as fast as possible. Tho high price, and the unusually favorable weather have also, it is believed, contribu ted to swell tho receipts to a full compara tive average. There is at least nothing in the receipts thus far to indicate that the crop will vary materially from a third of the average yield, or reach the urgent wants of tho trade. THE MARKET.—Wo closed our last re port on a quiet market at the following quotations: Middling 34$ Strict Middling 354 Good Middling 36 Choice lots 364 On Saturday the market was dull and irregular, and sales of only 69 bales were reported at the above rates.

On Wednesday there was more activity in the market, prices being still irregular, and 596 bales were sold at 04J006t cents. On Thursday the market was flat, and sales of 300 bales were reported at about the rates of tho day previous. On Friday only 145 bales were sold at 34@354 cents, the market being too dull and irregular to ad mit of quotations. Total sales for the week, ending Friday, November 9, P. M., 1,685 bales.
