Torry of that city. The inner tube of the bose is made of gulla pere.ha, and next to it iv a lay ci id air-pr-i il’-rubber. On Ibis in wound layers of heavy cotton duck, made ox pro- ly lor the purpose, routed on Ia it 1 1 -ides with rubber. The gut tn percha tube none will endure almost as much pn .-lire ns a e-inper tube of the same di- Jiicn.iions, and will not decompose by the action of live steam, water, oils or alkalies. The “air .slock" prevents the lino particles of water from reaching the cotton duck, nnd thereby rolling it. Tho outer coaling for ordinary use is rubber, but, if neces sury, the eniiting may consist cf rubber ,ml gulla percha. The couplings and dumps are of poeular construction, in order that they may stand an extruordi jirv pressure. Tito first test was through ; ns- I- ngtlis of 25 inch hose, each 2"> fe t ‘ w length, the nozzle of tho pipe .being 1* ieh. ’l'iie lioso was attached to one of Woodward's largest st am pumps. The on ;imi fn a which the pump was worked generally carries -10 pounds of steam, but iu this instance it was increased to Hi pounds. Tho force of the water through the lioso caused a pressure of 270 pounds to the square inch, which was afterwards iiirre.iseil to 312 pounds. It required the litiim:.. exertions of six men to hold the pipe, so great was tho force of water. A patent nozzle, of cylinder shape,, was now applied to . its strength. When the pro .tire had reaelied 300 pounds, the brass plate in the head of tlie cylinder, wliieh \vii. i. vel'd with steel holts, liur.-Ud, throwing the water in every direction.

Very few perse ns in the South seem to be aware that the quantity of milk which a row gives depends very largely upon the Skill of the .milk-maid. Our planting friends complain very frequently of the small quantity of milk wliieh their dairies afford, and attribute the failure to the poor cow, when if they would examine more closely, it would be found to arise from the deficiency of skill in the diary woman in drawing the m;’k from the ud der. Many good cows have been condemn ed as bad milkers, which, under proper treatment, would have yielded a full sup ply 111 during the era of slavery, it was foiled difficult to procure good diary v men. now that the negroes have become free, that difficulty has become more and more apparent. No one can become a good “milker" at ot.ee. It requires prac tice and experience to acquire the degree of skill necessary to make a good “milk maid. ” The short tenure of service which wo ad have to submit to from hired labor, renders it almost impossible to give them sudirient training. This difficulty which now b. vts the Southern planter and far mer, lids fair to be overcome by the re cer: invention of a “Patent Uow-Milker,” which can be applied and used by any one Oi oi. '.miry intelligence. A late Northern paper speaking of this invention, says: Yoccnluy morning wo had the pleasure of witnessing the practical working of the Aiio-rieiin Cow-Milking Machine, and, in in our judgment, i>a*o,i upon 'persouat ob sorvation, xvo think it is one of the best in vent oos to save tune and labor now in use. By a very simple arrangement, the working of a rubber diaphragm unde roach teat-cup produces a sudden strong remtt timr suetion, like a eaif. whieit draws the milk and passes it into the eee.tre receiver and so out Into the pail. The operator sits up to y»e cow as usual, places the lour teals in the tea-cup, works the handle sic wi v back and forth,and, like four calves, he milks th 6 cow ; like the n, also, the machine draws and stops drawing to sv. ai ), v. . At thirty minutes past six A.

To those win* have been taunt.at wah the anuovauee which vex oar coun try w linen, who have charge ot the dairy, tu,. r , ..silts which flowed from the machine were as agreeable as they were surprising. The unanimous verdict was as Mr. loo ,i. s w aid s:iv. they are "a good tiling .■ haw in tTie house.” We hope that some of our enterprizing fanners wili give this machine a tr.al, and let the Southern people know the result of their experiment.

Croat Decline in Prices of Breads!tiffs and Provisions. Speculators entered the markets some weeks ago and endeavored to control the prices of grain aud flour, and they suc ceeded in running these articles up to figures that were fearful to consumers. Flour has for several weeks commanded higher prices than were paid during the war, wheu gold commanded fully one hundred cents on the dollar more than at present. Indeed, it was not so high when gold commanded 285. But it appears there is too much grain and Hour in the country for speculators to control the mar kets for these articles, and the consequence has been a giving way of prices in the grain markets. The Chicago Jlepulluan of the 12th inst.. says; ■ “The grain markets in this city during last week were subject to most violent fluctuations. On Monday last No. i corn rose as high as §1 lu per bushel, but the market gradually became weaker till, on Saturday, it was sold as low as eighty-five ! cents per bushel—a decline within five I days of twenty-five cents per bushel "During the same period the wheat i market was also uu-v tried, ami wo have to ' note a dec’ine in prices of twenty-two cents ' per bushel on No. i scnt.g. and k 21c per bushel ou No. 2. On Monday last No. i spring wheat was sold ill this market as high as? 2 22 per bushel, and ou Saturday last it closed at £2 tier bushel. Oats declined Ije per bushel during the week. No. 1 rye opened on Monday last at $1.09 per bushel, aud dosed on Satur day at S'Jc— a decline within the week of 2tte per bushel. No. 2 barley opened on Monday at See per bushel, and on Saturday as low as 05c, dosing at a decline ou the week of 18(5 2>.*e per bush el. ’ The Cincinnati u i-j/.V of the 13th inst. has the following in regard to the "tumble' which has taken rut in p.i v - ‘'From even’ quarter we have advices of declining markets ior almost every article of produce. Ah speculative feeling is. for the time, suspended, and operators a-.t as if the markets were believe,! to be bottom less. In Now York. - yesterday, beef cattle sold at about what they cost in Kentucky, and hogs brought less than they v.vre bought for in Chicago or Cincinnati. Mess ! pork, which two weeks ago sold as high as 1 $35. is down to *21.7.'.; lard has fallen from 22c to 14c lor flrunc; flour, wheat, corn, rye, oats, etc., have been lulling steadily, though still comparatively high. Drygoods ar also declining, as are a: o groceries.; and finally, fancy railroad st> -ks, which were going up rapidly a few days ago. arc tumbling. “Thi- m-ws front New York has it effect, ofcour.se, throughout the We.-t, and the great leveling process is everywhere ex perienced. “Our dispatches from Lexington, the great stock market for Central Jv-ntueky, report a decline in .-beep ye.-tr-rday trout be to 41c ; hogs, from He to Safic ; cattle, from "('' He to o(o fie ; horses 20 per cent, and mules s'l’< 00 per head. "There i- a bottom to tho markets, -i c-iur-e, and the indications arc that it uni soon be reached. The practice of hoard ing produce, which was rendered practica ble by the abundance atii clr aphess of money, rendered thin i.-rcak in the markets inevitable. To such a point had values been carried that exports were, not ouly checked, but wo were actually rc importin'-' leading articles of produce from England. Now the tab! - are turned, and our foreign exports arc increasing. , “But money being plenty, the pro Lia bility is that a violent re-action will take place, and capitalist-will again attempt to monopolize stocks and for •.• prices up, compelling consumers and pr lu- rs to unite in paying the fiddler. It will not be so easy to do this, howeycr, as it was a year ago. Within the last six months hoarding produce has not paid. Vi ithin tho last sixty days it has: certainly proved a disastrous business. "And now let consumers see that they get the advantage of the decline, i. .1 them hear in mind when they go to their butcher, their baker, or their grocer, that there has been a large and pretty general decline in prices recently; that hogs have fallen thirty three per cent, beef in proportion, and that flour is full a dollar a barrel lower than it was a week ago. ” Ladies’ Memorial Association. We had the pleasure of a call, on yes terday, from Rev. A. E. Dickinson, of Richmond, Ya., who is stopping for a few days with Rev. 31 r. Cuthhert. 3lr. Dick inson is commissioned by the ladies of the “Memorial Association for the Confed erate Dead of Oak wood Cemetery,” of Richmond, to present its claims to the Southern people, and will receive any con tributions which our citizens may be dis posed to make to tho noble objects of the association. The following circular will explain the plans contemplated by the ladies, and is a sufficient commendation to the liberal consideration of our people. ! This association is distinct from the asso- j ciation of Holleywood Cemetery, and the ; interest which the devoted ladies of Rich- j mond have taken in both these cemeteries | for the Confederate Dead, give them addi tional claim upon the admiration and gratitude of all who sympathized with the cause for which those martyrs gave up ] their lives: TO THE I'E&rr.E OF THE SOUTH. “ The Ladies’ Memorial Association for | the Confederate Dead of Oak wood, ’ near | Richmond, Va., was organized perma nently on the 19th of April, 1806, _ for the j purpose of rescuing from oblivion the i names and graves oi the gallant Oonfed- j ; crate Dead who sleep at Oakwood Come- I tery. , | j This cemetery, situated one mile east ot j I the city, contains sixteen thousand Confed ; i rate soldiers’ (/rare.: —a larger number t ban any oth r in the South, including reprosen- I tativc dead from every Southern State., ! The graves are in a neglected condition, ! tlie names of the occupants marked only by • rude pieces of board carelessly and slightly | put in the earth. The grounds are desolate i and unenclosed. , j The Common Council of the city of meh : mond has undertaken the work of enclosing J the cemetery, and has made the requisite i appropriation for that purpose., | ' The work of love, gratitude _ and duty, ! which tlie Association proposes for itself is | simply this: . ; hirst. To turf each grave and mark it j with a neat wooden head-board, upon which I is to be inscribed the name of the occupant, his State, regiment and company, and ! other information in regard to him. Sieond/i/. To lav out and decorate the j grounds, and to redeem them from their present condition of utter clicerlcssness and I desolation. And, f ” Tlurdli/, At sonic future day, when the I finances of the Association shall permit it, to replace the wooden head-boards with en during marble, and to erect a hand.-ome monument for each State of the South, commemorating its dead. To effect these purposes it is necessary to appeal to the people of the South for pecuniary assistance. The Association U* i poor, the people of Richmond arc noor, and the work to be done is for the honor 1 and credit of the entire South. It would be an indelible shame and an ever present disgrace if. having the power to honor our dead, to perpetuate their names and mem | ones, and to preserve and protect their i graves, our people should suffer them to fie neglected and forgotten until the frail record" of their names, death, and burial | places are totally destroyed by decay, and ! the task rendered impossible. How many families throughout the South have rep resentatives sleeping at Oakwood Ceme tery ? How many mothers, and sisters, and fathers, and brothers, and friends, would be soothed and gratified to know I that their brave dead were honored, and i their graves cared for and tended ! \V ho would not be shocked and pained to wit ness the present lamentable condition of these graves, and to sec how rapidly the hand of'Time L obliterating all traces and of the gallant dead who died for us ? Could the people of the South look up jon tho lonely, desolate, aifo neglected I graves, no appeal would be necessary. The ; silent rebuke of those forgotten heroes, ! would reach the hearts and consciences of every Christian man and woman of tlie South. The Association is not for a day or a year; it is not the passing fancy of an hour, or the ephemeral creature of a mo mentary impulse ; it is permanently organ ized, with already two hundred aud fifty active members. It will know no rest un til its purposes are successfully and iu Ily achieved, it will not fail, it cannot fail, it shall not fail, until the manhood of tlie South has lost its chivalry, and until its women have ceased to mourn for their children because ' they are not.” •. In this work of piety and love the Asso ciation solemnly pledges its honor to the people of the South to apply, faithfully and economically, the funds which may be contributed. Editors friendly to the purpose of this association will confer a favor by copying into their papers this appeal. _ Contributions urgently solicited. They may be sent to the I!ev. John E.

Considerable interest was excited by Professor Fergusson’s statement, made a few weeks since, that a meteoric shower would take place on or about the 12th or 14th of this month, and the curiosity of our people lias been on tip-toe to witness tbe grand display. The 12th came with out the looked-for shower. The 13th and i 14th and then the 15tli, and still stars con- j tinued to refuse to fall, and still continue . to refuse to make the grand exhibition ; which their friend, the Astronomer at Washington, had pledged them to. It seems, however, that in the Old Dominion their refusal to “obey orders was some- ■ what modified, and that from certain dark ' alleys iu Lynchburg they vouchsafed to j the curious investigator a view of their wild j and erratic flights. .The Richmond pa pers complain that their goodly city was 1 left out of the programme ; and the En or, alluding to the reported exhibition, says: Up to this writing we have no account of any meteoric appearance in the region j j around Richmond, aud great has been the j disappointment at the non-appearance of 1 the expected exhibition. In Lynchburg, , ! however, the people have been more • tunate, for they have had, if not the sight j itself, at least “something like it,“ if we may credit the statements of the papers i there. Our Lynchburg cotemporaries ; seem to have accomplished the well-known feat, too, of seeing stars by daylight, for they represent the “shower" as having fallen about mid-day. The AYtc* portrays the appearance vividly thus : About two o'clock yesterday afternoon, i crowds o f persons, black and white, male and female, coold_.be s-.-cn in all directions I on tbe streets, viewing showers of failin ' ; stars, which, shooting from their orbits approached the earth, and were distinctly visible to the naked eve. The shower* , seemed to be confined vrineipJti to one p 3 rt.o.. u i tan tiorrionv and appeared to be in great prolusion. They were to be seen only in a direction due South, aud a short distance to the East of South. Some of these falling meteors appeared like huge round balls, and did not.ohaage their ap perranee as long as they were visible. Others were drawn out to a very great length, apparently not broader than the hand. Ail of them had the appearance of furnished silver, dazzling and bright. Ihe showers.lasted foralioatforty minutes. when they ceased altogether to be visible. The atmosphere was very hazy during the time of their toiuinuaut-e, which great!y coniributed to make them more plainly ob servable by the naked eye. The number of tb >se stars seen i- ; tated by some at thirty, by others at forty, and by others still at fifty, sixty, and so on. as high as one hundred. We did not ourselves count mure than ten. The 1 •■'/iioon scents to Lave a time piece a little behind time, judging by the standard of the A- for it says ar the shower comm, need ‘‘about one o’clock. TLesi'iwnc siu its time, how ever, “or something else makes the Ttr !/iniau a little iess credulous. It says : A great many persons betook themselves to dark alleys to observe the phenomenon : but their optics were not keen enough to determine whether what th y saw were really im too. - or nify thistl.-down and cobweb floating in the air. Numbers singular looking objects cuuld be seen shooting about iu the.direction of the sun, which, to cur eyes, had a very meteoric _ ‘ . 4 .i.l delusion, however. Now, whether this conflict of opinion is due to the incredulity of the 1 ir>/inian, or to the advantage the A' rs had in being in a dark idle;/, we cannot tell. The Repeoliohia time piece must have been even further behind time than the Viruinimi s; Lut what it lacked in tardi ness in that contest, it made up in greater incredulity, k disposes of "the sight" in - in this way: Up to the hour of our writing (11 p. in.) no one has seen a meteor fall, though smoked glass and stove-pipe telescopes have been brought into requisition. A report that seven men had been killed on Perieval Island by a star, turns out to be incorrect. About noon a good many peo ple declared they saw meteors flying about, but later and more accurate information lead- to phe-conclusion that what they saw was the 'scudding down of nettles. Without undertaking to decide between these witnesses, and certainly without in tending to reflect upon the veracity of any of them, we cannot but remember the old nursery story about the “falling of the sky,” in which a silly little chicken so terrified the whole chicken community.— A rose leaf fell on his tail and he thought it was the sky ! In his own fright he alarmed all tho other chickens. But then, rose leases are not thistle-down! MESSAGE FROM GOY. J EXKINS. Georgia and Florida Boundary Line. Executive Department, ) Milledgeville, Ga.,-Nov. 12, ISCG. J 1 To the General Assembly: I came into office under the impression I that the vexed question of the boundary j between Florida and Georgia had been I amicably and finally settled. I was there- j fore, greatly surprised to find, during the | bite spring, that the inhabitants of a nar- j row strip of territory, which I suppose utay i be_called the “debateable ground,” were ; being called upon by tho receivers of tax j returns for both States to make return of | their taxable property. This produced no little anxiety and excitement among those good citizens who would he highly appre ciated by either State. There was in this a' conflict of authority, which, if not checked, might in time have imperiled the peace of the border. Under this impres sion, I proposed to Governor Walker, of Florida, that ail action in reference to tax ation be suspended until 1 could carefully investigate the subject, with the history of which I was not very familiar. Governor Walker, in the spirit of amity and courte sy, which it is to he hoped, will always ob tain between the States, promptly acceded to the proposition. My investigations have satisfied mo that this is no longer to be regarded as an open question. It is un necessary to review the whole history of the controversy. Yourattention is invited to a point in it when a renewed attempt at amicable adjustment between the parties, after repeated failures, was agreed upon, i and to what ensued. You are aware that i having been unable to agree, yet unwil ling to protract tho controversy, the parties resorted to a suit in the Su preme Court of the United States, in tlie progress of which that government was made a party. At this stage of the case, the Governor of Florida proposed that the terminal points of the then existing line be agreed upon, that a line be run from one ! to the other by two commissioners, one to j be appointed by each State, and that the I line so run be established as the boundary. | By resolution of the 27th of December, i 1857, the General Assembly accepted the j proposition in regard to the terminal points j and iri a counncndab’e spirit declared that i Georgia would adopt either the then exist- I ing line between these points or any other that might he surveyed, and marked by virtue of law and the joint action of the two Sta'tcs. Authority was given by the same Act to the Governor, to appoint a competent Surveyor to run out and mark distinctly such a line between the designa ted points in conjunction with a Surveyor , tp be appointed by the Slate of Florida. Tn pursuance of this agreement, Grtstavus 1 J. Qrr was appointed by the Governor of Georgia, and W. Whitner, by the Govern- I or o? Florida, to run and mark said line. 1 Whilst these surveyors were engaged in the work assigned them, the General As ' sembly of Georgia, by an act assented to I lGth December, 1859, enacted “That if the | State of Florida shall duly recognize, and, | by law, declare the line now being run by the joint surveyors of Florida and Georgia, that is to say, the first line run by them j from the western to the eastern designated terminus, as the permanent boundary line i between the two States, that the said line I is hereby recognized, adopted and declar i ed, on the part of Georgia, as the true and ; permanent line oi boundary, provided, nevertheless, on the eastern terminus it j does not depart exceeding one-fourth of a ’ mile from Ellicott’s mound.” The lino was run out and marked, and j its eastern terminus did not “ depart onc ! fourth of a mile from Ellicott’s mound.” | Indeed, the variance being reported as only twenty-four feet is unappreciable, and, , for all practicable purposes, the line may : be taken to have terminated at that mound. | It would seem, then, that nothing more ; was wanted to bind Georgia to this line i than Florida’s recognition of it by legisla ! five enactment. Whilst this survey was I in progress, the Legislature of Florida ; enacted a law, approved 22d December, 1859, of the same tenor and effect with the ! above recited act of the State of Georgia. After the completion of the line, the J Legislature of Florida passed resolutions, j approved February 8, 1861, referring so the above act, declaring the line run by j Surveyors Orr and Whitner as the perma nent boundary between the States, and i authorizing the Governor of that State to | issue a proclamation to that effect, provi i ded that by authority of the Legislature of | Georgia the same tiling be done by the Governor here. 1 transmit herewith a copy of these resolutions now on file in | this department, authenticated by the great seal of the State. By the 17th and | 21 st sections of the Code, which was’tnade : the law of Georgia, first by adopting an act I approved December 19, 1860, and secondly ! by the sth clause, Ist .section, and sth ar ! tide of the Constitution ordained and es ■ tablishcd by the Convention of 1865, this | identical line is declared to be the boundary I betwo n Florida and Georgia. Surely, this i should have ended the controversy. The i State of Florida so holds. I respectfully • submit that, the State of G eorgia must so hold, unless she determine to ignore a law i enacted by her Legislature and solemnly i recognized as law by her people in Con ! vention nearly five years after. I regret to add, however, that the Gcnc ! ral Assembly, by resolution, assented to ; | December 11th, 1861, re-opened the eon -1 troversy by providing for the appointment | of Commissioners on the part of Georgia, | and requesting the appointment of Oom- I missioners on the part of Florida, to hold , further conference on this vexed question, j i The Legislature of Florida, with eommen i dablc patience and friendly consideration, acceded to the request. Commissioners were , I appointed on both sides and entered into ! I conference in the month of December, 1 1862. Messrs. Wright aud Erskine, on j the part of Georgia, proposed that a line : known as the Western line be adopted as the boundary. Messrs. Bank and Pany, j on the part of Florida, declined the propo- . - sition, and insisted that the previous ae- 1 . tion of the Legislatures of the two States ! | had established the On- A Whitner line j and so this effort ended without changing ; the status of the question. I have already adverted to the difficulty which occurred iu. regard to tax returns. Accompanying this communication wi'l be | ; found a copy of a letter from the tux eol- \ ! lector of one of our border counties to the | : Comptroller General stating his embarrass- ; | ments and asking instructions ; also a copy j ! of a letter from a citizen of Georgia to my self stating that the duty of administering an estate lying in the disputed belt has de : volved upon him, and asking direction in which State he shall - ok the necessary au thority for so doing These appeals present in strong light the evil of keeping the ques- 1 tion open. Other and perhaps more se rious difficulties will occur in the progress : of time if a finality be not given to it. Questions of jurisdiction, civil and crimi na’T will rise between the Courts of the border counties of both States. The rights of property, the privileges, duties anil liabilities ot citizenship punishment of crime, and the peace of the border coun ties are all involved. To me it stems that these considerations far outwciih in im portance s he right of eminent domain over Aik, narrow strip of land, and even the re lation of citizenship between the State of Georgia and the inhabitants of this belt. Doubtless there dwells upon it good and true men whom we should all grieve to lose, 1 but of all men in the State they are most interested in the settlement of the contro versy. But whether interests or ties are involved in it. I respectfully insist that by the action of two States Georgia is commit ted to the Orr and Whitner line, and good faith requires that she make full and final c knoweldgment of it. I recommend that the General Assembly authorize the Ex - ceutive to issue a proclamation declaring that line the boundary, and requiring h,_r citizens and officers to govern then --clvt's accordingly.

Somersault of a Newspaper—Mysterious Beatlis--Amusements—The Fenians-- The City, ivc. [From our own Correspondent.] Chicago, November 12, ISC6. Friends Moon: <f- Wright: The last agony in the turn-coat way is shown up to-day. The Chicago Times has gone over to the lladicals. and is more radical than the worst and most blood thirsty one of the lot. The somersault was so complete and so quickly done, that every one has been taken by surprise. All day the office has been filled by indignant Dem ocrats, withdrawing subscriptions, adver tisements, (Ac. The turnover will not hurt the Democratic party, but it will surely de stroy the newspaper. The concern is in very shaky condition, financially, so, to make a sensation and gain applause, it turns at its dying hour, and like the snake, ejects its own poison into its own blood. Its death can only be a question of time, It carries no Democrat with it. Stand firm at the South —the gap will be quickly closed. Put not your trust in Yankees. Story, of the Times, is a turn-coat to-day because the codfish eaten early poisoned his blood. MYSTERIOUS DEATHS. Yesterday morning two men were found dead, in different parts of the city. A dozen conjectures are afloat as tothc cause, but the general belief is that they were killed in rambling about the streets. One of them, a stable hand in the employ of Messrs. Yatt & Lasher, on State street, was found in the excavation m front of the new building which is being erected by the Young Men’s Christian Association, on Madison street near Clark. About mid night two policemen chased a man down Clark street to Madison, whence he turned and disappeared iii front of this building. Diligent search was made, but he could nut be ibuud. The excavation is well guarded by barriers, but it is thought that “Beaure gard” (the name the dead man was known by) was the man, and that in attempting to escape he jumped over the barrier and was killed. The facts arc nowbeing inves tigated. Whether the surmise given above is correct, or whether the man was drunk and in some way got over the bar rier and broke his neck, or whether he was fully murdered and thrown in the hole, is a question which Chicago will never satis factorily settle. The other man, Otto Op perheimer, was found on Wentworth avenue, and from his position when found it is supposed that he was killed by stumb ling into the ditch. When discovered he was nit quite dead, but was totally insensi ble for the little time that the vital spark remained. Os all dangerous places for strangers perhaps this is the worst. The city has been raised all over about ten feet, in the last ton years; the buildings have been raised by jack screws, and the streets have been filled up to alevel with the build ings from curb to curb, but the ground un der the sidewalks has not been raised , and to break through a sidewalk anywhere in Chicago would be to go down eight or ten feet. This lias made the sidewalks full of breaks and steps, and ups and downs, and the only wonder is that a dozen strangers are not found every night and morning with their necks broken either by stumbling over the rubbish which encum bers the streets every few steps where bui’dirgs are being erected, or the pits and hills in Chicago. AMUSEMENTS —ART MATTERS—MUSICAL. The “Buislay Family” opened here this ■ evening, to a good house. They will re- j main at Crosby’s Opera House every eve- j ning during the week. ... j The amusement season is fairly opened | now, and as the Opera House will seat six j or seven thousand comfortably, and was l well filled, they will probably have sub- < stantial cause tp. remember the Garden : City. The Philharmonic Society's concert, on ; Saturday evening, for the. benefit of the j city charities, was, 1 am happy to say, as j much of a financial success as it was a j musical treat. . The opera house was i densely packed by the finest audience of the season, and as none were dead-heads, the poor folks will be made glad to a large j extent. Max Strakosch is coming, with Susini | and Ghioni. Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams are hav- i iig a very successful run at McVicker’s Theatre. Beard’s great painting, “ Westward Ho!” has been, engraved and the plates secured by the Art Association. The Schwesslers’ great painting of Washington Irving and his Literary Friends .at Sunny side; Cropsey’s “American Autumn,” and a magnificent chromo-lithograph of the same, and “Recognition,” a sad but. beautiful battle piece by Constant Mayer, arc among the attractions at the Art Gallery. Battle scenes, battle heroes and pieces relating to the late War are becoming more numerous and popular. The great est American artists arc turning their attention to them. A large collection are at the Art Gallery, and very many belong in the city. Those enumerated above are the property of the Art Association, and included in their list for distribution. FENIANIS.M. The Fenians here are quietly and deter minedly working. Anns are being rapidly collected; clothing and provisions, and more than all, money, are freely coming in. There are many hundreds of the organiza tion here, and a very large proportion of them are men who have seen service in the last war. emcAOO AS A CITV. Chicago is a great place for bad water and worse whiskey. The first objection will no longer exist after the Lake Tunnel is finished, which will be ten days from now, and the second objectionable feature promises to be overcome. Yes, Chicago, stupid as it has been in whiskey, is becom ing converted to temperance, and after the weary spree that had water litis forced them into, it would not he surprising if saloon keeping ceased to become profitable after the new water works come into ope ration. At present the city is, or rather until within a few days it has been, the whiskey sellers’ refuge. One of the curious things connected with the distribution of lager, rye, tanglefoot, total disability and all the other varieties of spirituous liquors, in Chicago, is the fact that there arc en gaged in saloon keeping in this city eight or nine broken down European noblemen — Poles, Hungarians and Germans. The Marquis of will pass out the beer; the Count of tenders you the lager and Receives your fractional currency with the same bland smile and appreciation that the poor Dutchman, who left Ger many to avoid conscription, evinces, as he does.the same. In fact, the Counts and Marquises, &e., are a poor set, and the common people beat them to death. Brought down to their own footing they make out a poor fight in the world, and show but little that an American calls nobility. “Count shake us up swei-lager," is a sound that can only be heard in Chi cago. _ The people of the Garden City are as curious as they are numerous, or as the ways of the city are strange to a stranger. A noisy city it is too. The eight or nine hundred buildings which go up monthly cause much dirt, noise, and expense. The cholera has “flown with the sum mer birds away. The weather is ex ceedingly fine. Wilkes. The Macon Telegraph tells of a frccd man wao asked C ountal to pay him for dig ging the grave <*f his own chiid; and of several instances where colored women, after procuring coffins from the city could get nope qf li.

KEVIKW OK THE Al'H IST A MARKET, FOR THE WEEK UNKING NOV. 17TH, 1566. [lt should be borne in mind that our quotations rep resent wholesale prices. Small bills , to Planters and others, arc filed at a sheutc h igher rales.] KE.MAItKS.—There lias hern a fairtrade during the week, and we have to report a decline in a number <>f leading articles. The most notable of these has been the de cline in cotton, which amounts to fully 3 cents on the week. It is useless for us to attempt to give the reasons for this sudden decline, or to speculate on its probable ex tent. These fluctuations are peculiar to the trade, and often occur when least look ed for even by the most sagacious judges. The receipts continue to come in slow and steady, falling usually below the public expectation. Advices from Southwestern Georgia report that tiie recent frosts did not entirely kill cotton, and late 1 sills are still opening. Wo are still in tlio enjoyment of delightful “Indian Summer'' weather. The price of bacon, lard and corn is lower, and tho tendency in provisions generally is to lower rates. This will bo .agreeable news to consumers. COTTON.—The market attliecloseofour nst report was Too irregular , to admit of quotations, the principal sales being from 33 to 351 cents.

The New York Journal of Commerce, of the 14th, says that “money is in good demand from adventurous borrowers, and there is more inquiry for purposes of legitimate trade. Capital is readily placed at 5(u;0 ig cent, on stock collaterals, and upon government securities at 4@o jji cont. for temporary loans. The range of discount for tho best commercial paper is 5J(®7 cent. an num for short and long date.” The ab sence of such facilities for obtaining money here, is a great barrier to the progress of trade.
