Tile Cotton Pi'eMnes -tlepairs and lm provementa—Tlie Cotton VValehouses- Wharf Itepaira, &c., &«'. NUMBER TWO. Our tirat article on this subject stopped at the Tyler Ootton Press, and we now continue it, golug west ward. The Lower Hydraulic Press, superintended by Mr. James H. Domund, has received a complete overhaul ing and is now prepared for a good business. The machinery has been put in “apple pie order,” the en gino room cleaned out. painted and whitewashed, the yard replanked, and everything put in the best possi ble condition. The warehouse next east of the press has been put in good condition; the open yard repaired, the old brick pillars removed and replaced by iron columns, and other imorovements made, rendering it one of the best warehouses in the city. Ou the opposite side of the street is a warehouse which has for some years been used by this company. It has recently been replauked, repainted and placed in general good order. Next west of this warehouse, on the soath side of tlie pienk road running along by the presses, was for several years a lot lying vacant. The owners of the Lower Hydraulic Press determined to put it to use, and therefore bought it and enclosed it with a high brick wail, intending soon to erect a cotton ware house. Lamar's pres-es and wharves are the next attract ing the attention of ihe traveler. Ail explosion of a boiler at this press some months since attracted the attention ot the public for a day or two. The heavy boiler was lifted from its bed, thrown through a thick brick wall, thence turning “end over end,” went above the roof of a forty-foot house and through the cotton yard, landing against one of tho posts of the shed. In its course it made an entire demolition of a shed on the south aide of tho engine-room, smashed the entire wall, stove the fireman to pieces, scattered human fragments of two or three other individuals in various directions, and did much other damage. This boiler was brought up near its former position, with the intention of haviug it repaired, but it was found that the diinage was too extensive, and Mr. Lamar consequently ordered anew boiler of a simi lar pattern. The two presses have been overhauled and placed in good condition for work. Tile feed-pumps have been renewed, and all the connections examined and set right. These presses are worked on what is usually called tho Tyler patent, by the direct action of steam, instead of resorting to the intervention of water in hydraulic pumps. The yard has been re-planked, the offices repaired anu everything placed in good order ior tho work which is confidently expected to come there erelong. Tae western shed has been cleared out ot guano, paved in a substantial manner, and has also received other improvements to lit it for business. This press has for suveral years been under the supeivision of Mr. M. Sinquefieid, who not only looks well after its interests during the business season, but also takes good care of tho extensive warehouses after the com pressing season is over, and they are used for storing various descriptions of merchandise. The next cotton press is that of tho Central Com pany, managed by Mr. S. W. Wight. This is a hy draulic press, of similar character to the others, and has also received a complete overhauling, until it is aa good as now and ready to receive its share of trade during the comiDg season, when Savannah will take rank as tho first cotton port. At the oid Georgia Steamboat Yard, opposite the foot of Montgomery street, is the Upper Hydraulic Press, which is also managed by Mr. James H. De mund. Here’ aIBO the entire machinery has been placed in good order, under the supervision of Mr. Win. 0 Burnham, who has for several years been the efficient cagiueer of this establishment. The eastern portion of this yard is occupied by the Black Star line of steamships running from this port to New York, of which Messrs. Octavus Cohen & Cos. are agents. The agents have made great improve ments here in repairing ihe wharf and shed, and giv ing greater facilities for the receiving and discharg ing of goods. The entire wharves and sheds, those occupied by the Cotton Press Company ah well as that portion under ihe control of the. Hteamship Company, are now in line order and prepared for a good business. Here wo must again break off, and leave for No. 3 many other items picked up in our travels. Fashion Books and Papers.— Among o hi r interesting reading matter, with which Estill’s News Depot is supplied, are the latest numbers of the following named books and papers: Leslie’s Ladya’ Magazine, for September; Harper’s Monthly, for September; Banner of the South, No. 23; Edinburgh Review, (quarterly,) for July; Chimney Corner, New York Ledger, Sunday Mercury. Thf, communication in regard to repairing the steam fire engine John W. Anderson, which ap peared iu yesterday’s News ano Herald, signed by Messrs. P. J. Bulger & Cos , should not have been published, as Mr. Bulger ordered it to be left out, as he was satisfied that the statement attributed to Mr. Chas. Gordon was not made by that gentleman. We make this collection so that there may be no misun derstanding, nnd if there is any blame to bo attached to any one for its publication, it lies with this office. The Baltimore Link. — The steamship North Point has again been placed ou the Baltimore and Savannah .Steamship Line, to run in connection M>ith the America. This ship will leave Baltimore on the 27th instant, ancl will make a weekly line in conjunction with the America. We learn from Messrs. J. B. West & Cos., the agentsof this line, that two more good ships, now ready for service, are to be put on, thus making it a semi-weekly line, as soon as the business will war rant such an increase. In the meantime the America and North Point, two staunch steamships, will afford weekly communication between this port and the Monumental City. Tobacco — Messrs. Ferrill <fc Weslow ad vertise in another column a lot of tobacco, comprising various brands and qualities. This house is exten sively engaged in the tobacco trade, receiving their supplies from Ihe best manufacturers, upon terms which enable them to sell as low as the ariicle, of equal quality, cau be brought to this or any other Southern market. Their present slock includes some very choice brand«, which purchasers will do well to examine before purchasing.

Row at Montezuma. — Extravagant rumors were afloat yesterday ot a serious collision near Montezuma, but upon investigation we tied then; tnoslly false. The only foundation for the reports grew out of a fracas which occurred between Mr. W. Y. Thomson and a negro man. Mr. Thompson was driving his buggy along the road, when some portion ot the harness broke. While he was down making repairs, a negro man came up, and they got into a quarrel, which was soon fol lowed by blows. The negro drew a large knife, which Mr. T. seized aDd took from him, but in doiug so tie was cut in several places on the hand. With ihe knife in his hand, the negro was completely at ihe mercy of Mr. T , but he spared him. We regret to learn that the same bad feel ing exists between the two races there that prevails at other points below, and hope our friends will act with prudence and modera tion under the circumstances. But peace may sometimes beoorne more intolerable than war. Miseram pacetn vel belio bene mu tari. —Macon Telegraph.
