From tins it would appear 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.” FiTAL MfIDEM. 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 clothing; a stranger, one box clothing; 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 mittee of colored citizens, ten boxes and 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. P. W. Hutcheson, Senior. ELECTRIC SPARKS.

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. ap9 frsuwe&w MERCANTILE PRINTING AND BINDING.

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.

Friday AfteunOon, i April 9. 1875. ) 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.

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.
