MINOR TOPICS.
An exchange says some old letters have been
discovered which go to show that William Penn
need to sell whisky to the Indians and rob
them while they were drank. Nobody will be
lieve this, except the Indian agents of the Gov
ernor ent, whose own personal experience will
not it coarse permit them to doabt it.
An exchange says: “It is calculated in New
England that when a man leaves Harvard or
Yate Jollege $25,000 in his will the fact gives
him a start of fifteen hundred miles toward the
better land.” A pretty fair start, certainly:
but it is strange it never occurs to these men
that, by giving their money to their poor re
lations instead, they would more than doable
the distance.
As toon as the election was over in Louisiana
the announcement came that the sale of the
monitors at New Orleans had been accepted by
the Navy Department at Washington, and they
were ordered to be turned over to their pur
chasers. These eight vessels, thgt cost the
Government $4,400,000, are now the property
of Sliiekle, Harrison A Cos., of Bt. Louie, for
the moderate sum of $69,075. Interested with
these parties are N. McKay, of Boston: Thos.
Allen, of Pi’tsburg; and D. Campbell, of St.
Louis.
According to the affidavit of James McNulty,
a private in Company B, 3d United States In
fantry, the infamoes Lieut. Hodgson told his
soldiers guarding the citizen prisoners in Lin
coln parish, La., that if any offered them mo
ney to get away, they should take the money
and knock the prisoner down. He further told
them to "take all they could get and he would
uphold them." This was a direct invitation for
the soldiers to bold out false hopes to the pris
oners with the view of getting their money.
Alas for the uniform of the old regular army,
to what base uses has it come at last 1
Home person in tbe intellectual department
of the New York Herahl wrote “restive" where
he should have written “restless," and a lot
tery man, doubtless iust gated by Richard
Grant White, has taken the sentence contain
ing the error and made it tbe text of an adver
tisement, which begins with a flaring head
hue, announcing “A Mistake in the New York
Heraid.” As the advertisement appears daily
or weekly in nearly every paper in the country,
and as the Her all a exchange list is very
large, it is likely that by this time the writer
has been brought to see bis mistake. We
have no information as to tbe amount of
money the Herahl would give to get the adver
tisement withdrawn.
The Boston Pnal says of the Vic--President
under Lincoln: “Hamlin, who came hobbling
up from Maine to help Gooch aud re-echo
Blaine, was one of the most demoralized of
human beings. His shaking and quaking were
agonizing. Aside from the earthquake which
has overtaken the Republican part/ he has the
alarming danger of being defeated by bis
bosom friends, who are tired to death of sup
porting him in office any longeami who
covet the place of refuge in the Seriate to
which he obstinately clings. Poland’s com
forters are looking tenderly to a judgeship for
that political defunct; perhaps provender
somewhere can be found for Hamlin, than
whom a more inordinate office holder and
seeker does not exist."
Kellogg seems to have been frightened into
repentance neither by the tate uprising of the
people nor by his dangerous attack of cholera
morbus. On Saturday, according to dispatches
from New Orleans, he issued pardons for Lieut.
Hodgson and Marshal Seelye, who had been
sentenced to fine aud imprisonment for their
ontrageons and offensive course towards the
people of Louisiana. They were condemned
by a mixed jnry and sentenced by a Republican
Judge for offenses that ought justly to have
sent them to the penitentiary for life. But a
so-called Governor of a State interferes to
deprive its citizens of the protection which its
own laws afford them! Is it not wonderful
that the people of Louisiana can bear the rule
of tills man oven when guarded by Federal
bayonets ?
An English lecturer, Dr. Edmunds, depicted
some of tho ravages of rum in England. Of
the effects of beer, so universally taken there,
he said that “babes of London are seldom
sober from their birth until they are weaned.”
Dr. Edmunds says the English pross shrinks
from revealing the horrors of juvenile intem
perance. Dissolute children of both sexes
roam the streets, ripe for all minor vices and
crimes, or encumber tbe doorsteps in dishevel
ed condition, and “wink wickedly at the as
tonished public." In the nurseries “infants
spend the greater part of the day in sleeping
off the debauch of the previous night, and on
awakening, clamor for the fatal fount from
whence they drew the maddening poison.” Dr.
Edmunds says there are 300,000 babies in Lon
don. the greater part of whom spend their first
eighteen months in one prolonged fit of drunk
enness. Of course the babies are not to blame.
In these days ths contributions to medieal
resources are constant; now it is a pill, an
awful pill, and now it is a pensive powder. The
latest additions to tho doctor's store are bones
and banjo. A young Philadelphia girl, who
had siuoe childhood been prevented from walk
ing by a nervous spine, suddenly manifested,
two years ago, a frantic liking for negro min
strel ent: rtaiuments. Physicians had long
been in vain, and the wretched maiden in de
spair turned (o the weird and mournful beauty
of those performances for distraction. Every
evening for those two years she listened to tho
bounding freshness of the jokes, the soft
pathos of the bones, and as time wore on.
grew stronger aud stronger. She i. now per
fsotly well, and her friends attribute this pleas
ant change altogether to the minstrelsy.
If the newly invouted apparatus now on ex
hibition in Loudon, by which it is claimed that
oil or glycerins may be used to perform the
mechanical functions now so largely supplied
by steam should prove a success, the inventor
will be entitled to the thanks of suffering civili
zation. Oil, placed in small cylinders, is sub
jected to boat, aud produces by expansion a
pressure of 10,600 pounds per square inch. As
this expansion is gradual, tho pressure may
thus be brought up to the enormous figure
stated, or some fifty times the pressure allowed
in the use of steam, without danger of explo
sion, the cylinders simply cracking, it is claim
ed. whon tho pressure exceeds their capacity
to bear the strain. This new motor is applied
to a printing press and a punching and rivet
ing machine, which are now being exhibited.
Tlie French Minister of War ia much an
noyed at the number of marriages in the army
since the conclusion of peace. He considers
the fact prejudicial to the organization of the
army. Why he should think so is not stated
by the Patrie, which publishes tho opinion of
the minister. Two soldiers were heard con
versing during tho Alexican war. “What
brought you here ?” said one. “To tell the
truth, love of adventure. I have no family
ties, and I enlisted because 1 wanted to see
some fighting. ' “Alas!" said the other, “I
am a marriod man and I came here for ex
actly the opposite reason—l wanted to see
eome peace.” Perhaps after all the French
soldiers will go to war for the sake of peace
quite as cheerfully. Anyhow it is a queer no
tion to disoourage marriage among them.—
France will probably see the canker of a long
Jieaoe— and there seems no reasonableness in
lenying the soldier—especially in France where
loose connexions are always a temptation~a

If Congressman Holman should be elected
to the Senate from Indiana, it wilt be only one
more instance of the success which generally
attends devotion to a single idea. Mr. Holman
has been baying ever since he entered Con
gress at raiders upon tho public funds, and has
barked so impartially at friend and foe that he
has fairly earned the title of “watch dog of
the Treasury.” It would be well both for tax
payers and for tax gatherers if such vigilance
were more common; but occasionally these
guardians of the purse, in their eagerness to
seize something and shake it, get barking up
altogether the wrong tree. When the appro
priation for the transit of Venus expeditions

haul been tearing the bill already in a pretty
lively way. ponuced on this item and shook it
unmercifully. He attempted to have the
amount reduced, but his amendments were all
lost. Then, apparently losing patience at the
thought of wasting so much money on a mere
scientific investigation, he moved indignantly
to strike out the whole appropriation, and, with
a burst of eloquence of the kiad which proceeds
only from the “land of the setting sun." vowed
that for one he would never consent to such
an expenditure of “the people's money." That
may have read well out in the thinly settled
districts of Indiana, but it sounded very qneer
ly in the galleries.
The London Timet has its own private tele
graph to Paris, and so great has become the
competition in Europe for the earliest news
that every moans is resorted to in order to gain
time. The old age of pony expresses and
private packet boats have given way to an
enormous expenditure in other more costly di
rections, The use of carrier pigeons for press
purposes is on the increase, and the breed is
rapidly improving. By careful “selection” and
allowing only the “survival of the fittest,”
powers have been developed which a few years ■

Lisbon, or Brussels. Laud and Water records
a case of interest. An ocean homing bird, of
great docility, intelligence and spirit, has been
found in Iceland which flies at the meteor-like
speed of one hundred and fifty miles an hour.
A pair of these birds whose present home is in
Kent, within ten miles of London, recently
carried dispatches from Paris to their home in
one hour and a quarter. Press pigeons carried
on the dispatches to London, and the whole
journey of the dispatches from Paris to Lon
don occupied only one hour and a half. The
press pigeons now commonly u-ed are not the
ordinary carrier pigeons, but are bred by
Messrs. Hartley, of Woolwich, England, from
prize birds selected from the best lofts of
Antwerp, Brussels and Liege.
AIDS TO COMIWERfE.
THE TAYLOR COMPRESS.
What Science and Ingenuity Can Ac
complish.
Yesterday’s Chronicle and Sentinel
gave a few facts in regard to the Taylor
compress in course of erection in "this
city. Yesterday afternoon we paid a
visit to the lot where the compress is
located and inspected the machinery.
A number of workmen were busily en
gaged in pntting the castings in posi
tion. Immense masses of iron were
lying here and there, while in tho back
ground were the two large cylinders un
der whioh the cotton is placed to be
compressed.
The Location.
The Augusta and Port Royal Com
press Company some time since pur
chased the large lot opposite the Central
Railroad depot, between Washington
and Twiggs street, and known as the old
Metcalf warehonse lot. The compress
is located at the southwest corner of the
lot. It will be covered by a substantial
warehouse or shed. The Port Royal
Railroad Company will use a portion of
the lot, and has already a track running
into it from Washington street.
The Company.
The Compress Company has obtained
a charter with a limited liability. The
capital stock is forty-five thonsand dol
lars. Thirty-nine thousand dollars have
already been subscribed. Mr. John F.
Taylor, the patentee and builder of the
press, is a considerable stockholder.
Several of our citizens own stock in the
company. A prominent Liverpool mer
chant is also a subscriber to the stock,
and has strong faith in the success of
the enterprise.
The Compress.
The compress is known as Taylor’s
steam compress, and is said to be su
perior to any other. We are informed
that a compress company in Savannah
which was using a Tyler press obtained
one of Taylor’s compresses, and put it to
work as soon as erected. The ship cap
tains were mnch pleased with its man
ner of compressing the cotton, and be
came at once dissatisfied with the bales
packed by the Tyler press. The Taylor
compress is in consequence kept at
work night and day. The power of the
compress may be imagined when you
consider that it weighs about one hun
dred tons or two hundred thousand
pounds. With a boiler pressure of only
eighty pounds it exerts a force on a bale
of cotton equal to twelve thousand five
hundred tons or two million five hun
dred thousand pounds. Some idea
of what it can do can be form
ed from tho following figures :
A number of bales of cotton
were compressed in a press of
great power, in Galveston. The cotton
was afterwards shipped to Norfolk and
there recompressed in one of the Taylor
presses. One bale weighing 435 pounds;
dimensions, 54x37x27 inches, after being
compressed in Galveston was reduced to
54x37x16 inches when put into the Tay
lor press. Another neighing 520 pounds;
dimensions, 56x31x27, was reduced to
56x31x14. A third, weighing 496 pounds;
dimensions, 50x32x26 inches, was re
duced to 50x32x14 inches. It will be
observed from this that the pressure is
exerted upon the flat side of the bale.
Thus one of the bales above cited, which
had already been compressed in Galves
ton, was reduced to very nearly one-half
its thickness, or from 27 to 14 inches. A
bale as put in an ordinary press can be
redneed down to fully one-fourth its
thickness by the compress.
The Modus Operaudi.
The ordinary bale of 3otton is placed
under the cylinders, steam applied, and
presto ! the bulky mass is reduced, flat
tened in an instant. The iron ties which
held the bale are pulled up to suit the
reduced dimensions, properly fastened,
and the changed mass taken out from
the press. The marvelous power dis
played by the machinery seems almost
like magic, and demonstrates what hu
man ingenuity can accomplish. Com
merce called for some method to enable
ships to carry more of the great staple
in smaller bulk, and almost as soon as
the call was made the means were fur
nished. The mind of man in this, as in
almost everything else, permitted no ob
stacle.
What it Accomplishes.
An idea of the advantages derived
from the compressing of cotton may be
gained from a comparison of the freight
tariffs on cotton from St. Louis to New
York before the erection of a compress
in the former city and since. The rate
before was 90 cents per 100 pounds
pressed on the old-fashioned presses,
and $1 10 on the uncompressed. Now
the railroads are carrying cotton pressed
on the Taylor compress at 60 cents per
100 pounds, and have carried it for less
during the past season. It compresses
cotton so that from 20,000 to 22,000
pounds can be readily loaded, bales on
end, in an ordinary freight car—thus
making cotton, as a freight, equal to pig
iron or any fourth class freight. The
compressing process also adds immense
ly to the capacity of vessels for carrying
cotton, and makes the freight charges,
in consequence, much less. The trouble
in the prst has been that the bulk of
the cotton was too great for its weight.
Now the same quantity of cotton, in
weight, can occupy at least one-half the
space formerly required to store it away
in, thus doubling a vessel’s capacity
and enabling its owners to materially
reduce the freight charges.
What the Company Will Do.
The Augusta aud Port Royal Compress
Company proposes to make the charges
for compressing ootton as low as they
are in Charleston or Savannah. With a
railroad track running directly to the
compress, cotton can be easily conveyed
from any depot or warehouse in the city
and returned in the same manner.
It is proposed to get up steam to-day.
The compress will not commence opera
tions, however, until Monday or Tues
day. It has a prospect of doing an ex
cellent business. The cotton, after
being compressed, can be sent directly
to Port Royal and shipped to Liverpool.
manufacturing enterprise.
Does It Pay T
Witli the facts before ns in our own
city the second line of onr caption is per
haps superfluous. But as there are those
who may be disposed to doubt, without
investigation, we desire to place a few
plain facts before the public. As to the
larger industrial establishments com
ment is altogether unnecessary. Their
record has long been made in remu
nerative dividends and large pre
miums on the stock. The Augusta
Factory, Graniteville Manufacturing
Company and Langley Mills are promi
nently before the country as successful
and paying enterprises. But it is to
smaller establishments, not only in the
business of manufacturing cotton goods,
but in other lines as well, that we now
refer. Among these is the Augusta Ice
Company, put in operation but compar
atively a short time since, it will, ere
long, pay its stockholders handsomely.
During the past year we understand
full fifteen per cent, was made upon the
capital invested. A debt of five thou
sand dollars was paid oflf, a lot purchas
ed from the city and paid for, and a
fence will soon he erected around the
premises. Not only was this accomplish
ed as a benefit to the stockholders, but
the price of ice was reduced so as to
place it within the reach of every citi
zen. Yet this is comparatively a small
company.
Another practical example of the prof
itableness of manufacturing, outside of
the large companies, is the mill of
Mesers. Russell tft Simmons, located on
the Augusta Canal. These gentlemen
sell every pound of the mill’s products,
and realize very handsome profits. The
Southern Cross Mills, recently pat in
operation, are equally as profitable. And
so it is with every manufacturing estab
lishment in Augusta, no matter what its
Eroducts may be. Much of this, per
aps, is due to the almost uuirvaled ad
vantages possessed by onr city, but this
is only an additional reason why capi
talists should place their money in such
enterprises in this section.

by constantly doting themselves with drugs
(often of a very pernicious nature), which they
are credulous enough to mistake for invigorauta.
There can be no doubt that many lives are
shortened in this way. All that such persons
require is a pure vegetable tonic, which, like
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, also possesses the
regulating properties necessary to rectify thoie
organic disturbances which are bat the result
of weakness. The feeble and the nervous can
not be too earnestly advised to abandon the
dangerous practice of swallowing mineral
tonics, sedatives and vegetable alkaloids,
which disorder the stomach and produce the
most hurtful reactions, and to substitute in
their place this standard strengthening cordial
and corrective of the numerous disorders pro
ceeding from debility of the nervous system,
as well as of the stomach, liver and bowels.

The Coarse and Situation of Trade.
For the week ending to-day trade in its
every branch has been most excellent except
when stocks have not been found to supply the
demand. The markets of the United States
have almost universally ran out of Bacon. On
ly one honse in town is reported as
holding any to-day. Up to three days
go the weather all over the North
and West was too warm for killing hogs, but
a change has taken place and we may reasona
bly hope to be able to obtain a supply in a
short time. We have only had a limited sup
ply of dry salts, bnt they are not reported so
scarce in the West.
On Wednesday and Thursday it made an effort
to rain and turn cold, but with only partial suc
cess. 3he sun this morning resumed its bril
liancy, with not a cloud to be seen on the
zenith or horizon. It seems that it is the
intention of Providence to permit the Southern
planter to secure every pound of cotton raised
and in first rate order. So far we have not had
such a line Fall in two or three decades of
years.
The meat market has been steady in prices.
Grain has been in light supply and without any
material changes throughout. Flour has ruled
dull and lower, and closes with holders ready
to make concessions but buyers chary at any
price. Oats, bariey and rye are ail off. Baling
stuff in brisk demand and steady. Coffee is
without change. Sugar has declined a frac
tion. Tobacco is buoyant but not quofably
higher. The leather market has improved.
There is an active demand for builders' ma
terial.
,In tbe general grocery trade business is very
active with a marked improvement in cask
sales. We have now reached that period in the
year when the demand for Tennessee produce
and more particularly poultry, butter, eggs,
etc., is very active. Our city dealers try to
keep full handed, but there seems to be a
market for all shipped here.
The Dry Goods Situation.
Our merchants report a splendid business
week, with the rates prevailing at last quota
tions fully ma ntained. Northern trade jour
nals are bitterly complaining of hard times and
a want of customers, but we have no reason in
the world to grumble. As much as has been
said aud written, the South is better off in
many respects than our frieidn up North. We
have more money per capita than they, and as
a rule everybody around us either enters the
Winter well supplied with fuel, food and cloth
ing or with plenty of work to do at good wages.
We have no changes to make in cottons or
woolens and note an active demand for each,
with full stocks on hand.
Stocks, Bonds and Money.
Money is easy and in general terms worth
13 per cent, per annum. Local paper of in
definite qualification, or “open time.” is not in
request at the banks. Upon acceptable collat
erals thirty and sixty days they are froe
lenders. A most ample supply is on hand to
move the cotton crop.
The sales of cotton for the week ending to
day have amounted to 10,759 bales. Bringing
in the round aggregate $619,710. This princely
sum of money has been brought from other
markets and added to our ‘'circulating me
dium" within the last six days. It is true it is
gradually going back to some extent, but the
present material situation of the South leads
to the conviction that we have entered upon
an era of flush times, since our people have
taken the precaution to save up some of their
enormous incomes. The truth is, almost any
other class of people in the world than the
liberal Southerners would grow rich in a few
years with their opportunities.

The demand has been in excess of the sup
ply of bacon. We have only been able to keep
a’moderate amount of dry salts. As the
weather is reported cold all through the North
we may expect heavy shipments and easier
prices in the cource of the coming week. The
rates have not greatly varied since our review.

for a pound of bacon-lias been working precisely [
during the week. We quote the market clos

TIIE AUGUSTA MARKETS.
Augusta, November 14, 1874.
General Remarks.
We hardly have anything to add to the ex
tended report given this morning. A small
supply of new ary salt moats was received to
day. the fi.st installment of the season. The
weather is reported quite cold all over the
Went to-day, presenting a fine opportunity for
killing hogs, which will be improved beyond
question as the demand for meats of all cuts is
far in excess of the supply.
Trade to-day was fair, the weather being
just cold enough to be bracing and invigorat
ing, giving an elasticity to human nature.

which was } cent higher. Total sales in
clude 130,000 bales, of which 122.700 were on
contract and 9 300 for immediate delivery.
