r that the country i only to hare a change from
one remarkable signature to another. It looks
like a handful of fish books.
lt is said that Prince August Alexander Louis
rtrdinand Alexis Charles William Maurice Al
bert Adelbert, of Sayn-Wittgentin-Hohen
atein, Westphalia, is about to marry the daugh
ter of a poor schoolmaster. That the girl i
going to marry A. A. L. F. A. C. W. M. A. A.,
of S.-W -If., merely to secure Lis name for a
well rope of extraordinary length, seems to be
the general opinion in Westphalia.
Dan Bice has come out of the shadows of j
bankruptcy with a smiling face and proposes ;
to start his old show this month. The reason ;
Dan got out of bis troubles so quickly was he- |
cause he owed $35,060 and had assets valued j
at £6O. Tliis was a thin exhibit, therefore, for i
creditors, and not one of them appeared the
other day at the called meeting. Dan is going
to borrow the money to set himself up again
from his wife, who always keeps a “few shots
in the locker.”
The Washington explanation of the rumor
of Don Pedro's proposed abdication is doubt
less correct. It lias been known for some time j
that he intended making a somewhat prolong
ed journey next year, and in his absence the
Countess d'En. his eldest daughter and heir
to the throne, would naturally be appointed
regent. It is not probable that there is any
thing more in the rumor than this, and for the
sake of the people of Brazil it is to be hoped
that there is not. Don l’edro is a singularly
enlightened, liberal and earnest-minded prince
whom a South American Empire, above all
others, could ill afford to lose before his time.
The At Jateaib mentions the receipt of a
letter from Antioch, reporting that the vil
lagers of Bezkali, while dragging near the old
castle called Bughazi, on the Al.ra mountains, j
came upon a leaden coffin having a lid resem- j
bling woven feathers. '1 hese were supposed j
by the writer to be the feathers of the saman- i
der, or pbcauix. and he farther states that on i
patting a piece of it into the fire it did not
melt, but assumed a different hue. "The editor
of the .11 J'vmih deals gent.y with the super
stition. hut suggests the greater probability of
the lid being made of abeatos. The govern
ment has given directions for the preservation
of what remains of this relic.
In this gentle and persuasive way the Louis
ville Courier-Journal invites President (irant
to relieve his party of its most tronblesome
problem : “Gen. Grant is rich, middle-aged
and celebrated. Congress lias adjourned. 'J he
•family' is provided for. Let him begin to
parse the verb <jo out —to go out, going out, j
gone out. 'X go out.’ is the mood, tense, gen- !
der. and number for him, over his Bpring
Julep atnl his midday cigar, first, last and all j
the lime, between this a-id the stli of March, j
'77, he can make himself |#ersonally a popular (
favorite, retiring with a patriotic address and a j
national salute.”
If Mr. Toots had ever boon possessed by dys- j
pepsia, be would have found himself in a posi- i
tiou in which he never would have remarked : '
“It’s of no consequence.” Borne body tells in
the Troy Times t e horrid tale that the three
greatest lawyers in the National Senate are so
troubled 1 y tins diabolical disease that they
have to be constantly on their guard : that, in
coiisequeuco of the same, it used to be said
that the approach of the dinner hour rendered
it unsafe for anybody to dispute with Senator
Fessenden ; and that one of the most promi
nent members of the House has been known to
drop down in the streets in a dyspeptic swoon.
There is something in the idea of poetic
justice, aft r all.
The telegraph announced recently that the
trial of the King of baroda, India, foratt mpt
ing to bribe tlie servants of Col. l’harre, the
resident British representative, to poison their
master, had resulted ill the disagreement of
the commission appointed to try the cate. The
name of tho royal poisoner is his Highness
Mulbar bao Guikwar Lena Kaslikeil Sumshcir
Bahadur. The man with these formidable
names and titles was also charged with embez
zlement, seduction, blackmailing, and uomo
minor sins. Hu employed tho ablest lawyers in !
Bombay to defend him for the sum of $250,000,
and was hacks I also by a petition for liis re
lease, signed by 4,000 persons. The disagree
ment of the commission reported by telegraph
will doubtless result in tho reinstatement of
the Baroda prince.
One of tho most conscientious sheriffs on
record lias turned up in lowa. A railroad was
to be sold at sheriff's salo, and a friendly
agreement was made by which this model offi
cial was to receive $350 in payment for his
part in the transaction, which required two
hours perhaps of liis valuable time. But after
the sale lie happened to look at the statuto
which fixed his fees, when lie found to his
horror that he had been transgressing the laws
of the Btato. which declared that he should
receive no other fees than those legally as
signed him. Bo he refused tho suiu offered
liim, and said he would take nothing but his
lawful foes, which, in this instance, it rooms, j
amounted to SII,OOO. The railroad men en j
deavoreil to hold him to his original bargain,
but be was too conscientious to violate the j
laws lie was appointed to uphold, and. the care
going to tho Courts, his integrity was rewarded
by a verdict in his favor.
Tho report that M. Paul Cassagnac had been
publicly chastised by a woman was an inven
tion, and first appeared in tho Komenimt. M.
Oassagnao addresses the editor of that paper
by name in this style: “You attribute to me j
habits of a cafe haunter, of a drinker of ab
sinthe, probably imagining that wo spend our j
lime as you ttopnhlicans do, tippling in the I
pipe-sodden atmosphere of smoking ro ms. |
And, finally, you relate with the most circtim- [
etantial details an aggression against mo, in !
which 1 am made to look like a fool. This
morning in your paper you apologize. I refuse j
your apology. Air apology from you is like a j
bad shilling -base coin, which no one will look
at. However, there is one thing I wish to tell j
you —that your paper should be the last to !
publish these stories about encounters, as- ;
sautts, duelling, Ac., having at its head such a
double-dyed coward as yourself, whom 1 have j
the honor to assure of ray profound contempt." j
A certain small fraction of the haul ton of |
Washington is in purple paroxysms of resent- j
ment at a recent public rebuke administered j
to it by the bland and sound-compelling Tlieo- j
dore Thomas, the trills and quavers of whose ]
orchestra and vocalists the said select persons |
iutonupted with their untimely babble. The j
•courtly but resolute impresario rapped Ins
violin, stilled the hurricane tumult of the mu- ,
ie, and mildly announced that it the orehes- j
tra continued he feared it would interrupt the !
conversation. The rebuked persons, shrillest
au l most voluble among whom was the wifo of
a Senator, blushed a bright Vermillion and hid
their confused countenance*. There is agitation !
among the young cockerels of the diplomatic j
aviaries, and tlie Senatorial lady is reported to j
l> in favor of having tlie musician court mar
tialed. but the general seutimeut is that the
rebuke was well deserved and that it may have
the effect of improving maimers at Wasliing
lou.
The new building of old TriuiiV College at
Hartford, Conn., will cost a rnilHon of dollars,
and bo. next to the Capitol at Washington, the
moot imposing editleo iu the United States.
The general plan, by a London architect, is a
quadrangle. 1,050 feet long by 876 feet wide,
divided into four court yards of uearlv oqnal |
oiae. containing altogether about four acres
of ground. The style of architecture is early
English Gothic, and the tower—24o feet in
height—which ri es in the centre of the build
ing, c’osely resembles the Victoria tower of j
the new houses of Parliament. This vast pile
is to contain dormitories for 800 students: a \
chapel, a library, a museum, a dining hail, a
theatre, and an astronomical observitory and
dwelling houses for the faculty, besides reei- ,
tat ion rooms. The greater part of the build
ing is but two stories in height, and where
ihe third story is added it is partly included in
the roof, with dormer windows. Frequent
towers. .Uttering in height ai.d form, prevent
the length oi the building from having a mo
notonous appearance, and a number of spurs
and turrets give variety to the sky line. The
contract calls for the completion of the whole j
building iu April, 1877. Then Trinity College
will take the rank for which she has been
waiting and working for half a century.
The Washington correspondent of the Boston ;
Herat! says : “I presume every well-iu-fomied
Col respondent here has grown used to with
holding statements concerning these matters,
because they will not be believed, even in the i
ht wepaper offices, and malicious motives may
be ascribed to them. Bjt the simple truth is
that ihe President is looking very bad. He no
iouger has the sleek, well-fed look in the face
vraich has been bis characteristic ever since
the war. His features now have a swollen
look, and his face is terribly red in blotches.
I met him on the avenue near the treasffry de
partment. the other day. and observed that
bis figure was bent, and that he seemed to
walk with difficulty. He certainly has the ap
-s>earaaee of a man ‘on the downhill road in
life,’ as they say ui New Eugland. I do not
wish to indulge in any rash or sensational pre
diction of his future, but I am impressed with
the belief that the President's habit*’of eating
and drinking render his tenure of life every
dav more and more uncertain. Considering
what his past life has been, the heavy draughts
upon his stock of vitality, made long before he
became prominent as a military leader, and the
great change ly his personal appearance dur
ing the past few months, I cannot regard him
as a man of great probable longevity. There
are soofe who think he is getting toward the
end of the rope pretty fast, and who say that
unless his condition alters for the better he
will be seriously iu danger of quitting the
Presidential office before the 4th of March,
1877. Of these your correspondent inclines to
be one.”

A YOUNG OKNTLKMAN AND LADA'
DROWNED.
Accident at Bnrch’s Mill Yesterday-
Wad Termination of a Fishing Party—
A float Upsets on the Pond—A Young
Lady and Gentleman Drowned—Mr.
Maxwell and Mias Rttuwoody the
• Victims.
! Our city was shocked yesterday after-
J noon by the report of a fearful disaster
| occurring a few miles from Augusta.
! The first rumor was that an accident
had occurred to a fishing party at
Burch’s mill pond, by which a young
man and fonr or five young ladies had
been drowned. Investigation proved
that the disaster had been greatly mag
nified, thongh it remained frightful
enough, Heaven knows. Thedeiightfnl
Spring weather of the past week, the
| warm snn, the bluetskies, the budding
| trees, the balmy air and singing birds
j have tempted many from the city to the
j country on parties of pleasure. Yester
: day a fishing excursion was arranged by
’ a few young ladies and a gentleman of
■ Angusta. The place selected for the
day’s sport was Burch’s mill pond—a
much frequented sheet of water
situated on tlie right of the Houth
westem platik road and distant
about fonr miles from the city. The par
ty was a small one, numbering ouiy five,
consisting of Mr. F. A. Maxwell, Miss
Maxwell, Miss Sled e, Miss Dun woody
! anil Miss Lawson. They left the city
about half past ten or eleven o’clock—
bonyant with life and youthful spirits,
confidently anticipating pleasure and lit
tle dreaming of the disaster which was so
soon to change their mirth to mourning
and consign two of the merriest of them
all to the cold embrace of death.
A short ride brought them to the mill,
and the day’s sport soon commenced.
They had been fishing some time when
Miss Dunwoody noticed a boat fastened
to the bauk anil expressed a desire to go
out upon the water. Mr. Maxwell ad
vised her to wait until he could test the
boat and ascertain whether or not it was
safe. After trying it he thought there
was no danger.be pushed off the batteau
and he and Miss Duuwoody paddled
out together upon the pond. When
some distance from the shore Miss
Dunwoody ceased paddling and look
ed over the side. In some way she
lost her balance and the boat dip
ping, she fell into the, water. Hor
rified at the accident, Mr. Maxwell went
to her assistance. Leaning over the
boat he caught hold of his companion to
pull herontof the water,when thebatteau
upset, and he, too, fell into the pond.
Mr. Maxwell was a splendid swimmer,
and could have easily reached the shore
had he thought of liimself alone. But
he had no such thought. He wished to
save the young girl who was then strug
gling in the waves. He swam to lier,
and attempted to support her to the
bank. He swam with her for fully fif
teen feet, but it is supposed that her
fright caused her to obstruct the mo
tion of Ins limbs, anil soon they both
sank together, never to rise in life
again. In the meantime the young la
dies upon the batik, who were helpless
spectators of the tragedy being enacted
before their eyes, shrieked wildly and
loudly for assistance. Their cries
brought Dr. Cassin and Mr. Uhl to the
scene. After some delay experienced iu
getting a bot, these gentlemen went to
the rescue. But it was then too fate.
The struggles had ceased. All was over,
and when they returned to the bank
they brought the lifeless forms of those
who had died so young. As soon as the
Had news reached the city the relatives •
of the deceased, accompanied by Dvs.
Coleman and 11. C. Eve, hastened to the
spot. Every expedient kuown to the
medical art was employed to recussitate
them, but to no avail. The spark of
life could not bo recalled; it had fled,
and fled forever. The bodies were
placed in carriages, and in a short time
the mournful cortege reached the city.
Miss Corinne Duuwoody was only six
teen years old. She was a most beau
tiful and gifted girl, beloved by all who
knew her. She is the daughter of Mrs.
M. E. Dunwoody—the only child of her
mother, and her mother is a widow !
Mr. F. A. Maxwell liad just attained his
twenty-second year. He was the second
sou of Mr. ,T. 1. Maxwell, late of this
county, deceased, and a brother of Mr.
J. L. Mnxwwell, City Editor of the
Chronicle and Sentinel. He was in
robust health—in the very flush of vig
orous manhood, universally esteemed
anil beloved for liis kindly heart and
chivalrio nature. Miss Dunwoody will
be buried this evening, at five and a half
o’clock, from the Presbyterian Church.
Mr. Maxwell will be buried this even
ing, at three o’clock, from the family
residence, on Greene street. His re
mains will be escorted to the grave by
the Richmond Hussars, of which com
pany he was an active member.
Matrimonial. —The Atlanta Constitu
tion says: Last night, at half-past eight
o’clock, the Christian Church on Hunter
street was filled with a large audience
to witness the nuptials of one of Atlan
ta’s fairest daughters, with one of Au
gusta’s sterling young men. Rev. Z. T.
Sweeney, pastor of the Christian Church
iu Augusta, was the officiating clegy
man. Tlie fair bride was Miss Mary
Perdue, daughter of Rev. F. P. Perdue,
of this city, and the happy benedict,
James B. Johnson, of Augusta, one of
the most popular conductors on the
Georgia Railroad, and brother of Col.
S. K. Johnson, Superintendent of that
road. The attendants were: Mr. Leig
McWhorter, Miss Dora Kiser; Mr. E
C. Dugas, of Augusta, Miss Kate How
ell; Mr. R. C. Heggie, of Augusta, Miss
Anna Marshall; Mr. H. Stockton, of
Augusta, Miss Laura Payne. The bride
and bridesmaids were tastefully and
beautifully dressed, enhancing, if pos
sible, their handsome personelle. After
the ceremony was concluded and as the
bride and groom were ready to enter
the carriage, numbers crowded around
to tender their hearty congratulations to
and lienisons on the happy eouple. Mr.
and Mrs. Johnson left last night for
Franklin, Tennessee, where they will
spend their honeymoon.
The T. rnado Sufferers. —The fol
lowing additional subscriptions for the
tornado sufferers, were received by Mr.
George 11. Sibley, Chairman of the Re
lief Committee, yesterday: From Mr.
R. R. Gray, on behalf of the following
laborers on the line #of the Western
Union Telegraph, S2G—F. Hazard, $.5;
Cordy Davis, (col.), §5; Sam Malone,
(col.), So; George Wilson, (col.), §5;
James Secies, (col.), §2; Jesse Walker,
(col.), §2; Dave Hammond, (col.), .§2.
From the First Ward Committee, $5 50;
from Rev. W. J. White, Chairman of
the Central Committee of colored citi
zens, §3(5. The following are additional
contributions received by the Second
Ward Committee: Fleming Bros., three
bushels onion sets for McDuffie and
Columbia counties; a lady, one box

Mrs. Collier, 50 cents. Rev. Wm. J.
White, Chairman of the Ceutral Com
mittee of colored citizens, has received
ten boxes of clothing and suudries
which will be forwarded to the sufferers
to-day.
A Locomotive Made in Augusta. —A
tramway locomotive has been recently
finished at the Forest City Foundery in
this city, Geo. R. Lombard, proprietor,
for a saw mill near No. 0, ou the Central
Railroad. The trial trip was taken yes
terday afternoon, three miles down the
Central Railroad and return. The en
gine proved itself to be everything that
the builders claimed for it. It is made
altogether for strength and not speed,
having been devised to work exclusively
ou a wooden railroad or tramway, where
it will be used to haul lumber. This is
the second locomotive of the same char
acter that has been constructed for Mr.
Garbett, the saw mill owner, at the
Forest City Foundry.
The Tornado Sufferers.— The fal
lowing additional contributions for the
tornado sufferers were received by Mr.
Geo. R. Sibley, Chairman of the Relief
Committee, yesterday: From Mr. Jona
than M. Miller, contributions from his
neighbors, $37 90: from Rev. Wm. J.
White, Chairman of the Central Com

one trunk of clothing. An interesting
letter from Hon. A. C. Walker will be
fonnd elsewhere.
Fatal Burning. —A letter from Saw
Dust to the Chrenicle and Sentinel
gives an account of a fatal accident
which recently occurred near that place.
A colored girl ou the plantation of Mr.
Oliver Hardy, while standing near the
fire-place, last Thursday, had her dress
to catch on fire. Before the flames conld
be extinguished she was so badly burned
that her injuries proved fatal and death
ensued.
GIANT POWDER.
A Disastrous Explosion.
San Francisco. April S.—A quantity
of giant powder in a frame builaing ex
ploded to-day crushing the walls of
Bathaway's bonded warehouse, corner
of Spear and Harrison streets. A num
ber of frame buildings occupied as
saloons and dwellings were blown to
piecies, and in a few minutes the whole
was a mass of flames. A number of
men, women and children were crushed,
and some perished in the flames. The
loss of the warehouse is half a million.
The fire is under control, and the
search for the bodies is pushed as fast
as the flames will permit. Three have
j been taken oat so far.
EDGAR ALLEN POE.
\Fur the Humbly Chrmucic and Sentinel ]
In a recent number of the Saturday
Review there is a very severe and unjust
article bearing upon Mr. Ingram’s edi
tion of the works of Poe. The paper is
headed simply “Edgar Allan Poe.” and
takes Mr. Ingram to task for looking
through the vail of charity whetFhe pre-
Daied his memoir of Poe, which is pre
fixed to the first volume of his edition
of Poe’s works. The spiciness of the
article is only surpassed bv its utter
want of Christian charity, and in point of
judgment and literary excellence it is
inferior to the very memoir which it at
tacks so vigorously, and infinitely below
the works of the poor, misguided genius
whom the unfeeling world delights to
vituperate. That trite reflection in
Hood’s poem,
“Alas for the rarity
Of Christian charity
Under the sun,”
Constantly occurs to us as we read this
number of the Saturday Review, and
all lovers of the writings of Edgar A.
Poe must regret the appearance of the
article in question.
For one, we accord to Mr. Ingram our
sincere thanks for the feeling manner
in which he has discussed the life of one
the most brilliant as well as the most
intensely interesting of American writers.
He has* regarded the kindly adage,
j “Tread lightly on the ashes of the dead,”
and we now have before us the truest
exponent of Mr. Poe’s life which the
world has yet seen. Dr. Griswold, in
his biography ot Poe, shows a malignity
which is wholly inconsistent with a
truthful representation of the character
of his snhject. The simple, straightfor
ward tale of Mr. Ingram fixes upon
Griswold the infamy of a betrayer of the
dead, and shows to the world a man of
excusable weaknesses in the person of
EJgar A. Poe.
Long before the appearance of Mr.
Ingram’s edition of Poe’s works we j
wrote an article which was regarded by |
some of its readers as placing Poe in too
mild a UrbL to be compatible with a
truthful eff. Jjite of his character. How
ever, in spile of objections, the article
appeared and we say modestly, that
from the day of its issne to the present, i
we have never regretted its publication. •
And hence it is perhaps that we are dis- <
posed to sympathize bo earnestly with j
Mr. Ingram in the reception with which
his memoir meets.
We have uever regarded Edgar Allen
Poe as a demon. He was human, and
was, therefore, weak and erratic. His
life, from earliest youth up to the time
of his death, show# a peculiar mental
constitution. He seemed to have two
minds, which were active at different
times, and was a remarkable illustration i
of Dr. Brown-Sequard’s Two-Brain
theory. His life was dual. At one
time he was cheerful and bright, as
though hiS path were strewn with
flowers; at another, he was sad, despond
ent, and melancholy almost to madness, j
But he was always extremely brilliant.
His nervous organism was of so delicate 1
a texture that any stimulant, whatever,
taken by him would derange his
whole system. He was, in his sober
hours, a true gentleman and was
actuated by the principles of posi
tive virtue. It was only when he
would yield to the tempter and lift the
damning cap to his lips that he seemed
the pitiable maniac, the wild, mysteri
ous genius. A single cup of wine, it is
said, would influence his imagination,
set fire to his brain and transform the
person of quiet disposition and contem
plative demeanor into tho madman of
extraordinary brilliancy. His writings
in liis calmer moods were intellectual in
the highest degree; but when excited by
stimnlauts or otherwise, the pure
bright star which shone at all times
from his mind assumed the fierce blaz
ing aspect of a sun which temporarily
obscured the better side of his nature.
His misanthropical distrust of his
fellow men must have resulted from
some early disappointment, some great
wrong done him by perhaps the most
trusted friend of his youth, for it cer
tainly was not born in him. However
nothing positive can be known concern
ing his misanthropy. We can ouly con
jecture. But although he sometimes
despised men in general and contemned
in liis lofty mind their attacks upon his
character, he was friendly to many.
That he was a warm, personal friend of
Mr. Willis is well known; and the mu
tual attachment existing between him
self and wife was intense, real and un
feinged. His mother-in-law was per
fectly wrapped up in him and
certainly lie returned her affection,
with all the fervor of which his
ardent nature was capable. She was
used to speak of him as her “ darling
son, Eddie.” We would find Uo diffi
culty iu mentioning many others to
whom he was personally attached. Mr.
Willis writes charmingly of him, and
surely the close intimacy he enjoyed
with Mr. Poe enabled him to write ac
curately and fairly. Poverty was the
bane of Poe’s existei.ee, and many of
his superb articles were written and sold
for the mero pittance of his daily bread.
His domestic and social troubles result
ing from his poverty were such as to dis
courage a man of great ambition; and
galled by the ignorant in appreciation of
many of those around him, it is not
strange that Poe often gave way to the
disease, intemperance, amt endeavored
to drown all sorrows in the wild revel
ry of the cup. His sins were very much
to be deplored, but we do not believe
they were unpardonable sins. The
world is too prone to magnify the par
ticular traits of both good and bad
characters It imparts extravagance to
everything it touches. And this fact it
was that caused Coleridge to write:
“Good and bad men are each less so
than they seem.”
No better or more complete illustra
tion of this truth can be found in uni
versal history than the case of Edgar
Poe. It is to be hoped that coming,
generations will read the works of Edgar
Allan Poe as edited by Mr. Ingram, to
gether with the admirable memoir which
is prefixed to the first volume, and learn
to do justice to the character of a man
who. “unlike Cain, slew not his brother,
but who, like Cain, was branded and
wandered forth into the darkness.”
GEORGIA RAILROAD.
A Protost Against Retroactive Orders.
Near Wintbrville, j
Oglethorpe County, Ga.,
April Bth, 1875. )
Editors Chronicle and Sentinel :
I see iu your last issue of the weekly
Chronicle and Sentinel a piece head
ed Georgia Railroad, stating that Super
intendent Cole and Judge King had
issued orders reducing expenses in all
its departments. This was done the
26th of March last, and when applied
to subsequent transactions, is all well
enough; but certainly it ought not to
apply to contracts made previous to this
order. I will state a case in which lam
personally concerned, as a specimen of
many others which have occurred.
Early in last January the overseer of the
road running through my land came to
me ami said he had been authorized to
contract for chesnut ties at thirty-five
cents per tie. I very shortly afterwards
hired hands and got a lot and delivered
them about the last week in January or
first week in February. On yesterday
(7th inst.), the inspector came along
and scaled the price agreed upon in con
formity to the order of Judge King and
the Superintendent Col. Cole. There was
no denial of the contract, and its faithful
performance on my part. The inspec
tor simply said these were his orders,
and he was bound to obey them. Here
was a plain and palpable violation of a
verbal contract, which in future will
probably work much injury to the road.
Corporate bodies are as much bound to
stand to their contracts as private indi
viduals. Hereafter contracts will in
all probability have to be made in writ
ing. I cannot believe that a majority
of the stockholders comprising this
great railroad company will ever sanc
tion such doings as this. I have my
self ever been a friend to the railroad.
When it was first built I gave them the
right of way through my land without
charging them a cent; and it has always
been a pleasure to me to know that the
road was doing well and prospering; but
such flagrant violations of contract as
this may well strike the confidence of
its friends. I am now in my eighty
second year, and, I say it not boastfully,
I never violated a contract in my life.

A TONIC OF RARE MERIT.
THERE ARE MANY TONICS. BUT FEW
indeed which produce any other effect than
artificial stimulation of the' appetite. This, so
far from being a benefit, is a positive detri
ment, if the digestive organs are weak, because
it induces the patient to eat more than the
semi-paralyzed stomach can act upon, and thus
aggravates indigestion. There is. however, a
tonic which possesses the rare merit of impart
ing both vigor and regularity to the operations
of nu rniou. Hostetter’s Btumach Bitter's pro
voke a wholesome appetite, because they en
able the stomach to dispose of what it receives
with such healthful rapidity that at (he proper
time fo • meals it is not torpid from indigested
matter, but craves its timely sustenance. It is
the very fact that it facilitates digestion that
renders the national stomachic such a power
ful coadjutor of naiure in instituting those re
i cuperative processes which result in the recov
ery of the general health. Uninterrupted,
vigorous action of tho physical machinery in
evitably results from the use of this supreme
| invigorant and alterative.

should not be trifled with. Immediate relief is the

Boon to buffering Females.
LaGrange, Ga., March 29, 1870.
Bradfield & Cos., Atlanta, Ga.—Dear Sir* : I
take pleasure in stating that I have used for the last
20 years the medicine you are putting up, known as
Dr. Bradfield's Female Regulator, and consider it
the bo-.t combination ever gotten together for the
diseases for which it i3 recommended. I have been
familiar with the preparation both as a practitioner
of medicine and iu domestic practice, and can
honestly say that I consider it a boon to suffering
females, and can but hope that every lady iu our
laud, who may be suffering iu any way peculiar to
their sex, may be able to procure a bottle, and their
sufferings may not only be relieved, but they may be
restored to health and strength.
With my kindest regards, I am, respectfully,

General Trade Review.
As usual, with tho approach of Summer,
trade is becoming comparatively du 1 iu * gen
eral point of view. Jn several commodities,
however, the demand'continues good, and busi
ness. without being excited, continue* good.
This is specially applicable to all grades of Ba
con sold in this market. Without any apparent
reason, as far as this market is concerned, at
any rate, price? hare rapidly advanced daring
the week, with a fair, healthy demand from
regular customers, to whom it has been con
fined altogether. The true reason of the ad
vance is due doubtless to the Western specula
tive demand. Although it cannot perhaps
properly ue said that there is a corner iu the
Western market the spirit of speculation seems
to have taken possession C|f a number of par
ties iu the West, and large quantities of Meat
have been purchased. The feverish state of
the market has prevented consnmera in this
section from ordering large supplies from the
West, and purchases have been made princi
pally from local dealers. Tne supply in Au
gusta is light. The demand was excellent dur
ing the first part of the week. To-day business
has been more quiet. The prices of all grades
advanced fuliy a cent during the week, aud
there is evidence of a stilh/nrther advance. Of
course it is apparent that there mast be a reac
tion gome time. There is nothing to wairant
the keeping up of present prtces and the re
luctance of large dealers to keep more than a
very light supp y ou hand would seem to dem
oustrate that this reaction cannot be very far
distant.
The cottou market has been unusually duii
and uninteresting during the week. Very
nearly top prices, it is thought, have beeu
reached, and very little advance, if any. is
ooked for before the close of the present year
Notwithstanding the fact that the daily re
ceipts continue to be very fair, the general
estimate of the total receipts at Augusta for
the year ending August 31st. 1875, does not
exceed 18U.OOO bales. Many place it at 175,000,
or over 25,000 bales less than last year. This,
of course, is a cousiderable fal iug off, and is
but a specimen of the general decrease in re
ceipts as compared with those of the previous
year. The prospect is now that the crop of
1874-75 will fall even considerably below the
lowest estimates of six months ago, cotton’
writers to the contrary notwith tanding.
The sales of mules and horses fur farm and
plantation work, while not as large as two
years ago. have been sofar fnlly sixty per cent,
larger iu South Carolina, and from twenty-five
to thirty-three per cent, larger in Georgia in
comparison with those of last year—a very sure
indication of planting operations on a more ex
tensive scale. The sales of Guano have also
been much greater than last season, amount
ing to fifty per cent, more in South Carolina
and twenty-five to thirty in Georgia. A cqnsid
erably greater quantity would have bfletfUiold
in Georgia but for the repeal of the lien law.
which compelled dealers to shut off a large
number of parties who would otherwise have
been accommodated. All these circumstances
seem to point unerringly to a heavier crop next
year.
The amount of cotton sold during the year
has been large, aud millions of dollars have
been brought to tho city through its agency.
Much of this immense sum has found no per
manent lodgment in our community, but has
flowed back North. Still a not insignificant
sum has remained, aud been put in general
circulation. The influence of this lias beeu
and still is shown in the first rate tone of the
commercial situation. Quiet and steady as Au
gusta is. it does as largo a business, perhaps,
as any city of its size in the United States.
Flour, domestic and Western, remain un
changed in prices of all grades. The supply
of the latter is comparatively light. Our city
mills are doing a large businesf. 3he flour
manufactured by these mills bears a deserved
ly high refutation, and tho demand for it is
always good. B fere tho war a large amount
of Angusta flour was shipped to Brazil, and
was preferred in that section of tho world to
any other. The war put a stop to this trade,
and since its cessation the greater portion of
tlie custom from South America has fallen to
Richmond, Virginia. It is thought, however,
that much of this trade may again be directed
to Augusta.
Corn has advanced in the past few days from
two to three cents by the car load, with ail ac
tive demand. Meal has risen corresponding
ly, and we now quote city holt and at $1 10.
Wheat and oats continue at the previous
woek’s quotations.
Tlie Cotton Crop.
The long rainv spell retarded planting opera
tions and throw the farmers eoveral weeks bo
hind hand. Fanning is now going oil, however,
actively, and all the preparations are on foot
for putting the seed in as soon as possible.
We have as yet heard of but one planter who
has planted cotton. The present weather is
very favorable, and will help the farming com
munity to a considerable extent to make up
for lost time.
Financial.
Money continues easy, and it can be ob
tained at any of the banks on good paper and
collaterals at from 10 to 12 per cent. Some
transactions have been made at lower rates,
but these were on undoubted securities and
special terms. The per centage given mav be
considered as the general basis, with a "ten
dency to the latter figure. The demand, in
fact, has increased, and the rates in conse
quence have slightly hardened. But money is
still plentiful, and can be obtained at easy
terms comparatively. Transactions, with com
mercial paper as a basis, have been few, there
being but little of such paper afloat, business
having been reduced in a great measure to the
cash system. For short loans on personal
notes the brokers charge somewhat higher rates
than those given above. The general finan
cial tone is healthy, and we have much less
talk about hard limes than is usual at this sea
son of the year There has been but an indif
ferent demand for securiries during the week,
and we make very little change in our last
week’s quotations of Stocks and Bonds. Geor
gia Railroad Stock remains at the same fig
ures as then given, 80 to 81, and is quoted
“dull.” There has beeu quite an active in
quiry for City of Augusta Bonds, the new issue
in particular. Taken altogether, the tone of
the Money and Stock market is good, and
there is no cause for complaint.
* - Cotton.
Tlie Cotton market dur.ng the week lias been
quiet, with but little doing. Monday the tone
of tho market seemed to bo somewhat restored
and prices recovered from the decline of the
previous few days. The remainder of tho week
it continued dull, with a moderate demand.
The sales, however, were generally greater
than the daily receipts. As intimated in the
premises, prices have, it is thought, about
reached the top figures.
Remarks.
The Spring trade in dry goods and men’s
wearing apparel has been brisk, both in the
whole-ale and retail lines. The stores have
presented an animated appearance during the
week, and merchants have apparently done a
thriving business. While there is evidently a
sensible falling off in business generally when
compared with the Winter, it is gratifying to
note that it is less than usual at this season.
Our general trade review, quotations, Ac.,
will be found in the resume below:
Saturday, April 3.—The price of cotton
is a shade lower and the decline, though
gradual, is fully perceptible. The market
closed yesterday with lower quotations for
every grade of the staple. We quote:
Good Ordinary, 14) ; Low Middling. 15f;
Middling 15f—against Good Ordinary, 14); Low
Middling, 15); Middling, 15) on Friday. The
failure of the New* York gold corner, engi
neered by Daniel Drew, and the consequent
decline in prices, have doubtless had their
effects upon the cottou market. The receipts
yesterday were 209 and the sales 594 bales. All
the principal cotton markets reported the mar
ket firm and steady. The receipts at all the
ports yesterday were 4.960 bales, against 7.481
for the same day last year—a decrease of 2,521
bales.
Monday, April s.—The tone of tjie Cot
tou market seems to be restored, and
prices are recovering somewhat from the
decline of the past few days. There was
an advance yesterday in the price of Lo.v
Middling and Middling Cotton, in response to
a better feeling and stiller figures prevailing
in Liverpool. We quote: Good Ordiuary, 141:
Low Middling. 15): Middling. 15); as against
Good Ordinary, 14): Low Middling. 15); Mid
dling. 15). on Saturday. The receipts to-day
were 145 and the sales 216 bales. The receipts
at ports during the week were 8,168 bales,
against 12.737 last year. The receipts for Sat
urday aud to-day art 13,123 bales, as agaiust
20,218 bales for the same days last year, a fall
ing off ofcnearlv thirty-five per cent.
Tuesday, 6.—Cotton yesterday was dull, and
prices experienced no change." Liverpool and
New York did not show any activity, and small
er markets were unaffected. Our quotations
are the same as Monday: Good Ordinary. 144:
Low Middling. 151; Middling. 15). The re
ceipts yesterday were 397 bales, and the sales
295. The receipts at ports were 8.201 bales,
against 8.264 bales on the same day last year.
Wednesday. 7.—The Cotton market was
quiet everywhere, with little doing. Augusta
shared the general dullness. Prices still re
main unchanged. We quote: Good Ordinary,
14) : Low Middling. 15); Middling, 15). Re
ceipts, 110 ; sales. 137 bales. The recoipts at
ports yesterday were 5,836 bales ; 7,618 bales
on the same day last year—a decrease of 1,728
bales. Tne hglitness of the receipts seems to
indicate that but little cotton is left in the
country in the hands of the planters.
Thursday, B—The market was steady to-day,
with a moderate demand—quotations unchang
ed: Good Ordinary. 14);Low- Middling. 15); Mid
dling, 15). New York and Liverpoool showed
no cliaDge. and all American markets closed
aulet. The receipts at all American ports yes
terday were 4,223 bales, against 6,657 bales
last year—a decrease of 2,434 bales. The re
ceipts for the past fire days have been 31,488
bales, agaiust 42,757 bales same days of last
year—a decrease of 11,209 bales. Receipts
yesterday, 347 bales. Sales. 419 bales.
Friday. 9.—The market to-day was steady,
with the following quotations: Good Ordinary,
14) ; Low* Middling. 151; Middling, 15). Re
ceipts. 111. Sales, 373 bales Receipts at all
ports. 7.658 bales; this day last year. 6.155; for
the week, 32,076 bales; last week, 40,175; this

WEEKLY REVIEW.
At the Cotton Exchange business of the
week has been very moderate. During the
early days considerable buoyancy was appa
rent, with holders rather indifferent. Liver
pool advices have been quite favorable. Since
Wt-duesday there has been but little doing,
and tbs tone of the market has gradually
weakened. The offerings of medium grade's
have been more liberal, but good lines a:o
still held about s@s above current bids. For
future delivery there was a good business dur
ing the early part of the week, but a freer dis
position to sell has weakened the market,
which has a downward tendency.
