Cotton Crop Estimates.— We would
call the attention of merchants to the letter
of our Washington correspondent, “Ar
lington.” We vouch for the accuracy and
carefulness ot our correspondent in pre
senting the result of the official reports. In
our judgment, the estimate for South
Carolina and Alahama Is excessive. Eut
on this point each can estimate for himself
Louisville & Knoxville Railroad.
The city of Louisville, by an overwhelm
ing vote, has appropriated one million of
dollars in aid of this road. The Legisla
ture of Kentucky has passed a bill grant
ing State aid to the amount of ten thou
sand dollars per mile to such Railroad
Companies as can show their ability to
complete their enterprises.
Advertising Age n c y.—We take
pleasure in commending to the press of
the State the Southern Advertising Agency
of Henry Sparnck A Cos., No. 11l Last Ray,
Charleston, S. C. The members of the
firm arc native Charlestonians, well ac
quainted with the mercantile community,
and connected with the press of that city.
Their facilities for obtaining advertise
ments arc unsurpassed. The papers of the
State, daily and weekly, will be benelitied
bv communicating with these gentlemen.
Give then authority to act as your Agents.
General Early’s History.— A'c give
to-day the account of the operations of our
army around Washington in July IHGi, us
written by Gen. Early himself, and which
wo take from his late work on the “Last
Year of the War.” Gen. Early’s report#
of liis operations while in command of oor
army In the Valley have never before been
published, and we are sure that wo can
offer no more acceptable matter to our
readers than these reports as v.-e find them
written by the General himself. We shall
continue from time to time to make co
pious extracts from his book.
The Southern Express.—We arc un
der daily obligations to the officers of this
popular and enterprising Company for
papers and letters in advance of the mail.
They are invariably one da;/ ahead of the
mail in the delivery of Northern papers,
and we think that Uncle Sain had better
turn over the whole postal service, unless
tin: Government will require a little more
energy and speed from those who now
have the mail contracts.
The Land We Love.—We liave intend
ed lor some time past to call the attention
of the Southern public to this most excel
lent monthly. We ask for it a generous
support, not merely because it is a South
ern publication, but mainly because of its
intrinsic merits. .Such a work published
at the North would command a circulation
numbered by thousands and tens of thou
sands. The Southern people have acquir
ed a habit of going North for their shoes
and codfish, and they think, or at least a
large number of them do, that all intellec
tual excellence is contained witiiin the fro- j
zen regions of the Connecticut.
The I,and IIV: Love, is one of the best |
pm ■.■■■!: ■ds published in the country,;
North or South, and wo think it a slur j
upon Southern society and Southern into!- j
ligenoo, that its subscription is not ten j
times as large as it is. Wo are gratified to
learn, through a private note from the
editor, that it lias a good circulation at tho
North, and we were surprised at the state- I
incut made to us, that ho kml more sub- \
seribers in Vcnnsylvania th in in some of
the .Southern ,States.
In this connection wo Lake occasion to
state that the beautiful biographical no
tice of the late lamented Ilisbop Polk,
which Ims been going the rounds of the
Press recently, was first published in tho
/emit l(Y Love, from facts and information
furnished by tho members of tho Bishop’s
family.
A Pleasant Party.—Out of the large
ness of their hearts, tho Proprietors of the
Constitutionalist and Chronicle if .Sentinel
tendered tho attaeliees of tho Telegraph
< illice and the employees of both papers a
complimentary supper Friday night.
At the appointed hour, 12 in., the prin
ters and electricians, in full force, assem
bled at tlie Augusta Hotel and wore soatod
to a choice supper gotten up in mine host
Jones’ best style. It is hardly necessary
to say that tho eatables were safely put
away. A tier the removal of the cloth,
wine, and something stronger, was passed
round, and then commenced a quick suc
>• Mint of speeches, sentiments and witti
cisms.
In surveying the scone wo took in our

coinitatus of tho < 'hnmicle A Sentinel..
The Press, tho Express, tile City Fathers,
tlio hogislaturo of Georgia, tho mails and
females, and a great many other necessary
and indisponslble institutions were toasted
and liecoming’.y responded to by tho rep
resentatives of tho different callings pres
ent. Many rich and raoy things wore
brought to light, which, owing to tho loss
of our notes, (in a horn,) we are unable to
reproduce. The Commodore and Admiral,
with their respective crows, kept up a
lively light, returning shot for shot, and
drawing some capital repartees from both
sides.
Having looked upon the scene thusly,
and knowing that wo wore “doubled,'' wo
drew thecurtain upon the picturesque scene
hastened li mowurd (for it was no place
fora married man to bent that hour) leaving
tie sc Jolly good fellows all'eetionately em
bracing each other, the editors, Printers,
Telegraphers, Expressers, and I'atres Con
serpti, all claiming the indespensability
of their respective "institutions.’’
P. S. We are glad to learn that all hands
are right once more, and that nobody was
seriously hurt from tlio squeezing process.
In behalf of the printers, we return our
thanks to the proprietors of both papers
tor the supper, and hope for many similar
re-unioi is—m neh ly.
A Glance at the Fashions. ,
In the following we endeavor to give a
synopsis of tho always interesting theme,
esp'' '.ally to the ladies, the Fashions,
but it nearly puzzles us when we cou
oUtpLito me various - stylos or dresses,
botnets, bead arrangements, basques,
mantillas and what-nots, which go to make
up a ladies toilet:
First of importance is tho dress, which
we find to be principally of solid colors,
though there are some very elegant styles
of striped plaid and embroided goods.
The most popular af these are tho poplins,
which have nearly taken the place of silk
even with the royalty, though tnauy of
our ladies still a Ihore to the good old silks
and velvets. The most becoming style of
dress is the gored, either with or without
plaits, especially to pur city ladies with
their handsome forms. These are invaria
bly made with a sweeping train, are
elaborately trimmed with the plumage of
our feathery tribe, which have become
such a novel favorite that our sportsmen
cannot supply the demand, so that our
poultry yards are made to sutler in many 1
instances. There is an imitation of this
feather trimming, but an objection is, it
will not stand tho weather. There is quite
anew cut to the gored, which consists of
two skirts, the lower is made to touch the
ground, consisting of eight breadths with
out seams down the front and back width,
which are sloped on each side ; the other
six arc only sloped on one side, the bias
side always beiug placed nest to the back
one. The upper skirt is also of eight
smaller gores, the edge of which is scol
loped. dented, vandyked Or plain just as
fancy dictates, with wide plush velvet,*
ribbon, cord or satin studded with jet or
pearl beads.
There is another style where all the
widths are gored except the back one,
which is extremely long, resembling a
pigeon's tail, and laid at the waist in one
large, double box-plait, each scam being
covered with a piping of satin the size of a
pencil, or with a similar si zed silk cord
sometimes with a treble piping of two
colors. Tlio Empire-shape is without
plaits at the waist, which is invariably
s mud, with a belt to suit the color of the
trimming, fastened with a large rosette or
buckle. The latter, now elegantly made,
to studded with jet or garnet, which have
become quite popular. These are also inter
mixed with tho trimming of the dress >
'’cloak and bonnet.
What shall bo thought of the Bonnets f
SgyreaaspraksCT*.-.- '.■■■"."-SA-J
| Though still small, they linycchanged very
the “Talhin,” which is coquettish, slight
| ly rustic and antique, but extremely be
coming. It has a crown and front some
j what similar to the shape of the tin-pan
hat with a portion cut off, where is placed
Ia curtain, which falls over the large mass
I of hair, now so popular,
j Then, there is the “Empress,” and the
j “Casquette.” All are charmingly made of
velvet, corded silk or satin, elaborately
! dotted and edged with jet beads and pen
-1 dants—strings edged with lace, or entirely
| of lace, the centre of which is velvet or jet
trimming.
The “Peplnm,” or new style of basque,
are still worn long, and are quite hand
some, made of bright colored silks, worn
over tarlatan or muslin dresses for an
evening. They are very elegant in lace.
The sleeves are still after the cut of the
gentlemen's. Some are made with a point
ed cap, or the trimming put ontosimiiate.
They are long, and just wide enough at
the wrist for the hand to slip through. For
the theatre, the Spanish style is in vogue,
which is similar to a shawl, reaching only
to the waist, the ends being folded in front
and fastened with a flower, a large bunch
of which are also placed on one side of the
head.
Short curls, which are so becoming, are
still adhered to. The waterfall is still in
vogue. The crimped and pulled are still
worn. Flowers, as the spring approaches,
are becoming quite a favorite, not only on
the dresses, bonnets and bead, but are pen
dant in dimiiiitive form from tho ear
rings.
Not being much given to observe the
I various styles of dress we refer our fair
I readers to Qninn &. Bro., where they can
j be supplied with the latest magazines, cou
! taining new and ' elegant illustrations,
j (Jodey is the same valuable Oodey of days
! long gone by. Jje-morcsts is doubly valued
for its elaborate braid and embroidery pat
terns, and Leslie, for its various illustra
tions, which are inoro numerous and ex
plicit, with the latest diagram patterns in
full size. Asido from all this, each one
contains an interesting and valuable
amount of reading, interesting and instruc
tive to our fair readers.
Gen. Sherman and Minister Camp
bell. —A Washington dispatch to the
New York Herald says : “There are some
piquant little connected with the ex
pedition to Mexico which have never yet
been told. Sherman and Campbell pulled
together from the start like a baulky
team. Each had separate instructions,
and each claimed to rank the other. On
the arrival of the Susquehannah at Vera
Cruz, Sherman, it seems, was for the ac
cepting Bazaine’s invitation and going
straight to Mexico city. Campbell strong
ly opposed the suggestion, on the ground
that he was accredited to # Juarez and to
to Juarez only, and had nothing to do
with Bazaine, Castelnau, or any oue out
side the Republic of Mexico. This argu
ment at last prevailed, but not till after a
somewhat stormy discussion, in the course
of which personal allusions to kid gloved
aids-de-camp and legation secretaries pre
sumed to be “on the make” had been
pretty freely interchanged. The breach
thus occasioned was never healed, and
culminated at Matamoras in Sherman
returning to New Orleans by the S usque
hannah and Campbell by private steamer.
Sherman took up his quarters with
Sheridan in New Orleans, and Campbell
buried himself in the fourth story of an
indifferent hotel, each speaking contemptu
ously of the other, and giving a contradic
tory account of the expedition.”
The Voice of New York. —The Na
tional Intel!iffeneer refers to the recent
debate in the House of Representatives on
reconstruction, and says : The voice of
the great commercial metropolis was heard
last night emphatically and forcibly in
favor of the restoration of fraternal feeling
and of the policy of conciliation. Mr.
Dodge, of New York city, spoke last night
at the evening session of the House in a
spirit ot statesmanship and practical busi
ness sagacity. True, he advocated the
constitutional amendment, and declared
that it was meant as a finality, and was so
regarded by the country. But lie urged
its adoption with words of kindness, and
not of abuse and of threatening. Ho de
clared that New York could never have
been carried at the last election if it had
been understood that Mr. Stevens’ bill was
to become the platform of tho Radical
party ; and he notified the House that tho
business interest of the country were al
ready in a feverish, excited condition by
reasonof the extreme measures threatened,
and warned gentlemen of tho imminent
danger of persisting in the course which
some of them seemed inclined to adopt.
Proisaiu.e Release of Mr. Davis on j
Parole.— I The special Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Gazette .
writes : Charles O’Conorand J. (1. Shea, |
Esqs., counsel for Jefferson Davis, are in I
the city. Mr. Horace Greeley is also here. 1
It is further known that Mr. Greeley had
an interview with tho President yesterday,
and had interviews with Mr. Davis’ couu
sel this .morning. From these facts the
quid nuncs have conjectured that tho
State prisoner at Fortress Monroe is about
either to be released on parole or bail, or
that his case is on the eve of being dis
posed of in some way ; and it must be con
fessed that the facts warrant a fair infer
ence that this long delayed act of sheer
justice is at last about to be performed.
Philadelphia Wins. —The New York
Sun congratulates itself that the Common
Council of that city is not without a coun
terpart. In Thursday’s meeting of the
Philadelphia Common Council there was a
rough-and-tumble fight between two mem
bers, which, ■according to the reports, must
have entirely eclipsed the inky demonstra-
tion on the part of tho New York Council.
The Philadelphians have the satisfaction
of knowing, therefore, that they have out
done New York iu one respect, 'I heir
Common Council deserves the distinction ■
of having exceeded the former in disgrace- J
ful proceedings, and they are willing to
throw up the sponge. *
General Mag ruder. —The Baltimore
Sun says General Magruder, formerly a
resident of that city, and a General in the
Confederate service, has been in Baltimore
several days past, stopping at the resi
donee of a relative. The General is in ex
cellent health, looking even younger than
he did half a dozen years ago.
The Cost of a Newsparer. —The re
ceipts of the New York Tribune for 1865
were $ 1,5it),537, and for 1566 $909,448.
The expense for 1565 were $646,107, and
for 1860 $882,908. The former year gave
a nett profit of and the latter
one of $26,510. Nothing having been
charged for rent, the profits of last year
have really amounted to very little.
Pork. —The price of pork ought to re
cede, for the Western hog supply of the
present season, down to January 19th. is
announced to be 551,553 hogs shipped,
packed and butchered, as compared with
453,457 for the same period last year—an
increase of nearly 100,000 hogs.

Premium for a Gentleman. —Mr.
Leonard W. Jerome, of New York, the
treat stock operator, and judge of line
horses, is, it seems, a graduate of Prince
ton College. A few days since he wrote
to the President of the College, reminding
him of an expression he had used to the
class of Mr. Jerome: “Young gentlemen,
with all your getting I advise you to get
manners.” Mr. Jerome, thinking this
good advice, sends $5,000 in United States
bonds, the interest on which is to be annu
ally expended in the purchase of a medal
to be awarded to the member of the
graduating class "who shall be declared by
a vote oi his classmates to be the first
gentleman in his class.”

I The Pope’s Address to the Cardinals.
At the reception of the Cardinals and
Pontificate authorities, on Christinas Day,
Pius IX. improvised an energetic reply to
an addre33 of devotedness read to him :
First of all he thanked the Cardinals for
their congratulations, and the constant
| attachment which they had shown for him
! personally. He said that iu the times in
| which he found himself he derived a pow
j erful encouragement from seeing himself
j surrounded by the affection and counsels
'of the College. Replying to the
| observations of Cardinal Patrizi, who had
been spokesman, be added that he was
tranquil, because he knew that in the
present struggle he defended the cause of
God and of the Church, and therefore he
relied on the assistance of the Lord. He
said, with the Prophet David, “ The Lord
is my light, the protector of my life ; whom
shall* I fear?’’ Ills Holiness afterwards
said that it was necessary to be prepared
for all—to endure every persecution. He
also observed that a lew days before he had
received letters from theJJorea relative to
the deaths which several missionaries have
suffered in that country ; only two of them
were successful in escaping from the
ferocity of tli4ir persecutors, and it was
they who forwarded to Rome the narrative
of the martyrdom of their colleagues. The
Pope expressed the opinion that it was
necessary to be ready to suffer everything
for the Church, which now-a-days is per
secuted in Europe by deceptions, seduc
tions, lying promises, and by unjust de
mands and exactions. Certain persons, by
the aid of rare diplomatic skill, are putting
forward groat assurances to induce the
Holy See to make concessions. These
people act as the devil did when he tempt
ed Christ on the mountain, showing Him
all the kingdoms of the world, and saying
he would give Him them if He would fail
down and worship him. “As tor us,”
said his Holiness, “we shall not allow our
selves to be seduced by such proceedings.
Others come with the olive branch* of
peace, but require that their will should be
submitted to. Well, we shall ;always con
tinue to reject false offers and repel every
thing that is contrary to the principles of
justice, to the good of the Church, and the
dignity of tho Holy Sec. We desire peace,
but a peace that should not bo offensive to
the honor of God and of His religion.”
Defeat of the Usury Law Repeal.

REVIEW OF THE AUttUSTA MARKET,
FOR THE WEEK ENDING JAN’Y 2oTH, 1807.
{lt should be borne in mind that our
quotations represent wholesale prices. Small
bills, to Planters and others, are jilted at a
shade higher rales.]
COTTON.—The market opened with a
slight improvement oil tho closo of the
previous week’s operations, but tho weak
and falling markets of Liverpool and New
York pressed it down flat. The" market
has been emphatically sick, and at this
time presents no indications of improve
ment. In consequence of the decline, the
offering stock has been light and the trans-
actions small. Holders generally are not
willing to sell at present beggarly prices,
and prefer to withdraw their stocks and
hold for higher figures. The sales made,
for the most part, were forced, that is, fac
tors were ordered to sell by owners, in
order to raise money to meet pressing de
mands.
The Liverpool accounts have not been
received since Tuesday, owing to a break
in the Newfoundland lino. It may be that
the next received will be improved. In
that event, of course, our market will be
strengthened and better prices prevail.
The following are the tranetions of the
week:
Saturday.— The market was very quiet
and transactions limited. Quotations re
main about the same as on Friday. We
quote Middling at 31, Strict Middling at
32, and Good Middling at 83 cents. The

at 23, 4 at 30, S at 31, 4 at 32, 37 at 324, 30 at
325, 78 at 33, and 09 bales at 33J cents! The
receipts were 370 bales.

tations. The sales were 51 bales, as fol
lows lat 28, Bat 29, 2at 30, lat 31, Gat
321, IS at 32?, and 17 bales at ?3 cents. The
receipts were 496 bales.
Tuesday. —Tho market was very dull
and transactions limited, holders being
unwillingto accede to the views of buyers.
We refer to the actual sales as the only Cor
reet quotations. The sales were 158 bales,
as follows: —14 at 27, 4 at 281, 4 at 29, 10 at
30, 69 at 31, 32 at Sit, 15 atSli, and 10 bales
at 32 cents. The receipts were 275 bales.
Wednesday. —There was a better feeling in
the market tlie.n on yesterday, but holders

ers. We quote Middling at 30J, Strict

GENERAL MARKETS.— Thero has
I been very little change in the price of
j leading art'oles. Bacon has an upward
tendency, having advanced about one
cent i 1 . Drea it nils, although .kg
I down at the North, continue unchanged.
; Our merchants generally are doing a slow
business. Cause—flat trade, owing to the
| tightness of money. Dry goods men are,
perhaps, to bo excepted. They seem to be
! driving a good business.

The Snow Storm.
j Science has not yet mastered the winds,
land knows but little of the laws which
I govern that invisible substance which, to
j the higbth of fifty miles or so, envelops
the revolving planet. Immense forces,
imperfectly explained on tho hypothesis
of an over-shifting vacuum, dwell in tho
atmosphere, and we are continually sur
prised by their action. The Prince of the
Powers of the Air keeps his secrets well.
Had we but known them, and could have
predicted the _ snow storm of yesterday,
great things might have been done ; tho
market price of shovels would have risen,
ana sleighs would have been pre-engaged
at a premium.
This great storm began in New York
about la. in. of Thursday. With vast
white wings it sped from the Northeast,
embracing a line of coast from Maine to
Philadelphia. It descended in the night,
and by daybreak thousands of* miles were
covered with deep snow, and thy millions
on millions of flakes were falling. In Bos
ton such a storm has not been known lor
ten years; the shipping in the harbor was
buried, and oft Cape Cod storm-beaten
vessels struggled in the white gloom to
find a harbor. Portland, Providence and
Albany were covered, and in New Haven
the snow fell to the depth of six feet,
with drifts of twenty feet. Here the
streets were choked up, the running
oi the cars were almost suspended, tho ice
in the rivers and bay shrouded in a
white _ cloud; pedestrians trampled out
paths in snow knee deep; travel, pleasure
and business were interrupted; we were
snow bound. New York on Thursday
morning looked as pure as a Sunday after
the Excise law had been enforced; by night
it was as dingy as a Sunday after Cardozo
had issued an injunction. Thus the feet of
man tramples into foulness the pure gifts
of Heaven and the blessings of a Republi
can Legislature.
ihe business-loving city finds the snow
to be a nuisance. The boys who have gain
ed an inexhaustible store of snow balls, the
young folks who dance along in merry
sleighs, and the industrious men who,
starting up from no one knows where,
shovel away the unbidden visitor
into the gutters—these are delighted
with the storm. Here fertilizes no land;
it seems to do little good. Despondent
people predict that the weather will freeze,
and then thaw again, till the streets are a
conglomeration of mud and ice. Wc know
how hard it is to get rid of the snow in
great citjes; the stony streets refuse to
absorb it, and if we shovel it from one
place, it is only to shovel it to another.
This storm, which now appears to have,
ended, will possibly torment us for weeks.
Yet who can be angry with tlie snow ?
The beautiful snow ! It is lair when it
dances in countless flakes, and fair when its
dazzling whiteness makes the familiar
landscape strange. It falls, and in an hour
the face of the world is changed. This
storm came to us from England,*" where in
London on tho 2d instant it fell to such a
depth that Macaulay’s cclobrated traveler
might have engaged in his favorite study.
It lias reached Cincinnati, and we bid it
good speed to the West, to cover tho
prairies and make the Black Mountains
white. We can only hope that tlie wind
which swept with it across the Atlantic
has been merciful, and that we shall not
hear ofships driving onroeks, and thunder
ing at sea, and men drowning in tlie same
mighty storm that has laid for our belles
and beaux a glittering pathway sots their
jingling sleighs.—A 7 ! P. Tribune.
