Views Of Hon. A. Fl. Stephens.
"A correspondent of the Augusta Chronidt
/ C& Sentinel recently visited MIR. Stephens, and
found him still suffering from the injuries received
in bis late accident: The correspondent says;
"He now thinks there is not sufficient vitality
in the organ to recuperate and has little hopes Of
ever being able to walk again. The burden of his
anxiety is the completion of the second volume Of
material for the work is all ready, and nothing
lacking but physical strength to put it together
I learn that fifty-seven thousand copies Of this
work have already been sold, through the agents
of the publishers. MIR. Stephens deplores the de.
moralization which prevails, and thinks all good
people should unite in suppressing the mobocracy
and insuborcination W hich threaten the usurpa
ton of civil government and the ruin of the coun.
try. He has confidence in the virtue intelligence
and patriotism of the people, and hopes they will
not be blinded to their great interest in wise just
and strict maintenance of law and ORDER
A Model Market Report.
"A friend has furnished us with the latest
edition of I hrnsciana, or the writings of John
Phoenix, humorist who has never been surpass
ed, though he has had many imitators. Among
many other good things, we find the following
which reminds US forcibly of the heavy transac
tions Of the last few days. It is a report of the
MONTEREY MARKETS.
The arrival of stranger by the Maj. Tompkins
from San Francisco, during the past week, with
specie to the amount Of $4.S72, most of which has
been put in circulation, has produced an unprede.
cented activity among our business men. Conf.
dence is in great measure restored, and our mer.
chants have had no reason to complain Of want OF
occupation. The following is the state Of our mar.
ket for the principal articles of domestic consump'
ton:
FLOUR twenty-five pounds, imported by Bos,
ton & Co.. per Maj. Tompkps, still in first hands;
-four in small quantities is jobbng readily at Is to

jack & Co., early in September, will oversock the
market.
CANDY-Sales of 6 sticks by Boston & Co., to

Santa Cruz; no sales.

by Mckinley & Co. at 624 to Is cents; indorsed
note at months.
A City wondrousIy Blessed.
-Augusta Ca, is certainly beautiful city,
and, if we may believe the Chronicle Is Sentinel,
it is also highly blessed in the beauty of its inhab
itants. Some visitor having written disparagngly
to Savannah paper, of the crying children and
ugly women he met in the streets of Augusta, the
Chronicle takes up the cudgels as follows:
"If there is any one peculiar institution of this
city that its people pride themselves on more than
another it is their babies. We've got larger
number of the biggest healthiest prcttiest and
loudest-crying juveniles than any other city of q
similar size in the Union Trojan objects to their
crying so loud and so often; what an old Trojan it
is not to know that crying is exclusively baby S
prerogative. We wouldn't give a fig for baby
that didn't know how to squall when occasion re.
quired. It's their right, and when they don't ex-
ercise it, its sign that there's something wrong
Its true, no doubt, that Augusta babies cry louder
than the little puny, driedup, half dead juveniles
of Savannah; and when we consider the foul at
mospherc and unhealthy climate of the latter city
our only wonder is that they are able to cry at ALL
As to Trojan remarks about the small number
of pretty women here, that only excites smile OF
contempt for the want Of taste displayed by the
writer. For the past ten years Augusta has, by
the best judges, been pronounced to have more
beautiful women than any other city of the Union,
and we will wager sum equal to the national
debt Of the country against counterfeit three cent
piece that Trojan is some old hummer so ex-
tremely ugly that all the ladies here turned their
heads when they met him, and thus he had no op-
portunity of Judging whether they were handsome
or otherwise"
In another column the Chronicle INDUCES in the
following pardonable burst of rapture over another
of the beauties of Augusta:
"Wewere shown yesterday, by Mr.. A. j. Chris
an, one of the greatest natural curosites that has
ever been in the city. 1t was lage Sappensquaw
