Last Friday was .the anniversary;oi the surrender at Appomattox, where the fortunes of the Southern Confederacy went out like aD expiring taper in the darkness of a starless night. Since that tfRSnorablc day a dccadc oi years has mfesciff-jtwav^ and as we look back upft the rcoora of lost opportunities aij.(l ffi^^ajited hopes, our saddened reteo'^OTC^.ia. akin to that which toojejft.trar*Kfifo?dfortunes and crowninjijj^Ycrsesl&fc befel the gallant armxproich stacked their arms and sur^miqercd their colors on the 9th April; 1SG3V It is truo that wo have riot' been called upon to doplore in the last decade, the loss ol many a gallant spirit on the battlefield, but worse than that, wo have soon a death-blow ffiven to those f principles of Constitutional liberty to protect which the best blood of our cftizen soldiery was freely shed. We have seen the most intolerable op pression exercised under the forma of law, and every species of corruption and unpunished villainy crushing out the spirit of a free people. Yet the day of our deliverance draweth nigh. Republicanism lias been weighed in the balances and found wanting, and in the victories of last fall and the promise of tbo spring elections, the Democracy shadows forth some compensation for the reverses of .Appoinattox.and the sad intorvcningycars. Duk friends, Messrs. Perrin & Ilill, are conscientious men, and do not recommend their horses and mules too highly. When they have a bad case on hand, which is givep to tricks, m..fhfly jnaf let a fellow try the animal, which Bomotime speaks for itself in a very forcible manner. This happened \|? T WSIIinm ?

FATAL ACCIDENTS' -Mi Sad Termination of a Pishing Party near Augusta, Ga. l( A Young Lady and Gentleman Drown- t ed. ^ - d , Yesterday a fishing excursion was c atrahgod by a few younj ladies and c a gentleman of Augusta. The party jt 'j was a small one, numbering only five, e j consisting of Mr. F. A. Maxwell, Miss g I Maxwell, Miss Sledge, Miss Dunwoo- )' Jdy and Miss Lawson. They left the c city bouyant with life and youthful a spirits, confidently anticipating picas, a uro and little dreaming of the disas- o ? tcr which was so soon to change a i their mirth to mourning and consign o | two of the merriest of them all to the o cold embracc of death. o A short ride brought them to the ^ mill, and the day's sport soon com- r , mcnced. They had been fishingsomo h . time when Miss Dun woody noticed a r ? boat fastened to the bank and ex- 'i pressed a desire to go out upon the " water. Mr. Maxwell advised iior to t 1 wait until ho could test the boat andid ascertain whether or rot it was safe. I After trying it lie thoughtihcrc was i'1 no danger, he pushed oil' the batteau!^ ' I > 1 1 11..,! ii anil nc ami ,uiss I'uuwuuu) p;iu<m.uiout together upon the pond. When I v some distance from the shore Miss e Dunwoody ceased paddling and look- h ed over the side. In some way she ^ lost her balance ond the boat dipping. 11 slid fell into the water. Horrified at a tho accident, Mr. Maxwell went to I her assistance. Leaning out of the boat he caught hold of his companion i11 to pul1 her out of the water, when a tho batteau upset, and he, too, fell j into the pond. Mr. Maxwell was a'p ..ixl r.rmltl Icivnlil HJHOIIUIU on ?11 v.4 vviim ?%%.>* I easily readied the shore had hojC thought of himself Alone. But he j phad no such thought. Ho wished to >' save the young girl who was then " struggling in the waves. Lie swam ^ to her. and attempted to support her 0 to the bank. He swam with her ful-Ul ly fifteen feet, but it is supposed that u her fright caused her to obstruct the motiou of his limbs, and soon they ^ both sank together, never to rise in 1 life again, in the mean time the ^ young ladies upon the bank, who c were helpless spectators of the I rag- " ody being enacted before their eyes, sl shrieked wildly and loudly for assis- J'< tance. Their cries brought Dr. Cas- jc sin and Mr. Uhl to the scene. After c some delay experienced in getting a *' boat, these gentlemen went to the d rescue. But it was then too late. 11 The struggles ha J ceased. All was f over, aiui when they returned to the ! ' hank they brought tho lifeless forms ^ K.wl /Kn/I c*\ vnnnff 0 Ul IIJOM?

The Columbia cor- * j respondent of the Sun and Commercial, j ihe II. K." of the Capita/, is no i \\ less a person than IJolliii II. Kirk, a t, j decayed Kadical politician, who hopes u j to l)U)' our silence as he lias already! \ sought to sell his own. This man w Kirk brought to us, during the late,a canvass, a report of a pretended con-j t ;vcrsation with Gov. Chamhcrlian tl j which v. us so evidently a monstrous! ? falsehood that, even the heat of those o days, we d-clined to touch it. During j>; the same canvass, Kirk wrote letters toin the Augusta Constitutionalist in support 11 of Judge (Jreen while writing letters! v to the Columbia Union-Herald. eulogiz-' n ing Mr. Chamlierlain, and went so far'e ' as to prepare a placard to bo posted; ? all over the State, announcing that Judge Green was dead. This placard,I^ he declared, would ensure Chamber-1< 5 Iain's election. Failing to get the i ? ollice he begged for, Kirk resumed hi.s denunciation of Mr. Chamberlain, j" but has offered to discontinue his eorrcsitondeiice if ho be given a place! worth one hundred dollars a month, u f i the pri':o he puts upon his clastic j. conscience and mendacious pen. As Kirk sapiently observes, "a lie) ^ will travel faster than the truth," so*' c wc don't expect our words to reach 'j Western and Southern cities as rapid-( ly as Kirk's letters have done, but it: is well for the public to know who,c i Kirk is, and what is to be expected of,' j one who makes lying his profession j ( [and lives l?y double-dealing.? o/tarms-,' I Ion IfciDi and Courier. i i r ? -o. - j i J The people of Augusta deserve; < j commendation lor tlie promptitude,] with which they responded to the j i call for help from the sufferers by the ] recent tornado.

AuodstA, Ga., April 9,1875. friday afternoon. GENERAL TRADE REVIEW. V> As usual, with the approach of suraler, trado la becoming comparatively ull in a general point of view.'-In sevral commodities, however, tne;ideraand >ntinues good, and business, without eing excited, continues good. This is lecially applicable to all grades of barn sold in this market... Without any [jparent reason, as far as this market is mcerned, at any rate, prices have raplly advanced during tho week, with a lir, healthy demand from regular cusimcrs, to whom it lias been conlined Itogetlier. The true reason of the adduce is due doubtless to the Western i-i!... i i \ i?:? nmi. HJUUiiUlve uuiuunu. .viiiiuu^ii it *;unot perhaps properly bo said that there a corner in the Western market, the lirit of speculat ion seems to have taken ossession of a number ofparties in the /est, and large quantities of meat have 2en purchased. The feverish state of le market has prevented consumers in lis section from ordering large,'supplies om the West, and purchases have been lade principally from local dealers, ho supply in Augusta is light. The e in a nil was excellent during the first art of the week. To-day business has ceil more quiei. i no prices oi all rades advanced fully a cent during the eek, and there is evidence of a still irther advance. Of course it is appa.Mit that there nm*t lie a reaction someme. There is nothing to warrant the eeping up of present prices, and the reictance of largo dealers to keep more lan a very light supply on hand would 2em to demonstrate that this reaction an not be very fardistant. The cotton market has been unusually ull and uninteresting during the week, 'ery nearly top prices, it is thought, nve been readied, and very little adance, if any, is looked for before the lose of the' present year. Notwithtanding the fact that the daily receipts ontinue to be very fair, the general csiraate of t!ie total receipts at Augusta jr the year ending August 31st, 1S7.3, oes not exceed 180,000 bales. Many lace it at 173,000, or over 2-5,000 bales JS3 than last year. This, of course, is a onsiderable falling ofl* and is but a pecimen of the general decrease in re eipts an compared with those of the rcvious year. The prospect is now hat the crop of 1874-75 will fall even onsiderably below the lowest estimates f six months ago, cotton writers to the ontrary notwithstanding. The sales of mnlc9and horses for form ind plantation work, while not .so large s two years ago, have'been so far fully ixty per cent, larger in South Carolina nd from twenty^ live to thirty three er cent, larger in Georgia in compari3n with those of last year?a very sure idication of planting operations on a lore extensive scale. The sales of gu.110 have also been much greater than xst season, amounting to fifty per cent, iiore in South Carolina and abouttwenHive to thirty in Georgia. A considrably greater quantity would have been old in Georgia but for the repeal of the ie lien law, which compelled dealers to Iiut ofF a large number of parties who ould otherwise have been accommoated. All these circumstances seem to oint unerringly to a heavier crop ext year. The amount of cotton sold during the ear has been large, and millionsot dolirs have been brought to the city irough its agony. Much of this imlensesumhas found no permanent nlging in our community, but hasflow:1 back North. Still a not insignificant im has remained, and been put in genral circulation. The influence of this as been and still is shown in the first ite tone of the commercial situation, itiictaud steadyjas Augusta is it does as irge a beusinoss, perhaps as any city of s size in the United States. Flour, domestic Western, remain nchanged in prices of all grades. The ipply of the latter is comparatively glit. Our city miils are doing a large usiness. The flour manufactured by lose mills bears a deservedly high repuition, and the demand of it is always ond. Before the war a large amount ol - ?i.i ll^UMU iiuill nu>ji|il(i iw jjuw.ii, ml was prefered in that section of the orld to any other. The war put a stop o this trade, an 1 since its cessation the reater portion as custom from South unerica has fallen to Richmond, Virinia. It is thought, however, that inch of that trade may again be irected to Augusta. Corn has advanced in the past few uys from two or three cents by tiie car sad, with an active demand. Meal has isen correspondingly, and we now quote ity bolted at $1 In. * Wheat and oats continue at the prcvi>us week's quotations. THE COTTON CHOP. The long rainy spell retarded planting perations and threw ^he farmers sevnil weeks behind. Farming is now gong on, however, actively, and all the reparations arc on foot for putting he seed in as soon as possime. v>i lave as yet heard of but one plantei vho has planted cotton. The present leather is very favorable, and will hclj he farming community to a consider ,ble extent to make up for lost time. 1'IXAN'CIAL. Money continues easy, and it can b< obtained at any bank at from 10 to li icrcent. Some transactions lmve beet nude at lower rates, but these were or indoubted securities and special terms I'he per centage given may be consider :d as the general basis, wfth a ten leney to the latter figure. The leuiaud, in fact has increased.

The remainder of tin iveek it continued dull, with a moderat lemand.

The spring trade in dry goods am men's wearing apparel has been brisk both in wholesale and retail lines. Tin stores have presented an animated ap l?earance during the past week, ant merchants have apparently done i thriving business. While there is evi ileiit'y a sensible falling oil'in busines: generally when compared with the Win ter it is gratifying to know that it is les than usual at this season.
