Three Days in Memphis ; or sketches
of the public and private life of the old
Egyptians. By Max Uhlemann. Trans
lated by E. Goodrich Smith, of Wash
ington, D. C.
When we commenced the reading of
this book, we experienced some difficul
ty, in keeping in our mind, the fact
that we were readiug a veritable history,
and not the fancy of a wild dreamer;
but, as we progressed, our interest in
creased, and we have been amply paid
for the perusal. The author has long
been a student of Egyptian history, and
In Europe he is ranked among the
best, of several who have written upon
this interesting country.
Egypt has long been looked upon
•with wonder by all who take an inter
est in ancient history. The immense
Pyramids, the lofty Monuments, and
the magnificent Ruins which are found
spread over her surface, have indicated,
that she was once the Queen of the
world, and that she possessed the arts
and sciences, to adegree, hardly equalled
in our own day. To decypher her an
ancient history, to read the characters
which were found engraved upon her
monuments, which were believed to be
a record of her history, in the language
of her palmiest days, has been the stud
dy of the author for years, and it is be
lieved, that the key has been found,
which unlocks these mysteries.
This book is written in the style of a
vision of th days in three Ancient Cap
ital of Egypt.
The reader is carried about the city ;
into her ancient Palaces and Temples,
and introduced to the customs and man
ners of the people, and their institu
tions as they existed three thousand
years ago.
The book is useful and entertaining.

Moral Influence or Newspapers.
“The Georgia Citizen says that one of !
its subscribers writes from a jail. in one
of the interior counties, wanting the
direction of his paper changed.
“Is not this a bad commentary on the j
influence of the Citizen. Doctor, or was
the man too far gone to be affected by
your moral restoratives?”— Augusta Dit
patch.
To this Dr. Andrews replies :
“Didn’t have time to influence his
moral condition. Besides, he has too |
long been within the immediate juris- ;
diction of the Dispatch for our elevator
to have had its legitimate power.”
We demur to your plea, Doctor. At
the time referred to the Dispatch did not
circulate in that region. There is an
old adage that the hair of the dog will j
cure his bite, and hence it was, we take
it, that the unfortunate individual, as-1
ter imbibing the dog- mas of the Citizen :
until he got in limbo, applied to the
same fountain for comfort and relief.

Brilliant Concert.
Mrs. Dickerson, a lady celebrated as a
< luitarist and Pianist, gives a Concert to
night, assisted by her four children, the
oldest of whom is only four years.
We commend to the intelligent and
humane of ourcity, this lady, and trust 1
that her Concert will be liberally pat
ronized, for the reason that its proceeds
aay enable her to establish a school in
■ ■ur city. which she designs doing, and I
ecause the rare musical attainments of 1
herself and family merit the most gener- 1

Liverpool Annual Cotton Report.
The year 1857 has been beyond all
■ question the most remarkable year in
the commercial history of the world. To
" a mutiny—accompanied by deeds of un
paralleled bloodshed and atrocity of
her majesty's native troops in the East
_ Indies lias been added towards the close
" of the year a financial crisis of the most
intense severity, a crisis which com
s menced in the United States of Ameri
-1 ca, and spread like an epidemic to our
own country, where, after causing the
’ suspension of several hanks and many
.- mercantile firms, (some highly respect
able,) the total of whose liabilities are
. estimated to exceed £50,000,000 stcr
-1 ling, and causing a frightful deprecia
■■ tion iu the value of all kinds of pro
t perty, it extended its influence to almost
all the principal cities of the continent
' of Europe, where it Taged with an equal
I severity.
The experience of the last 3 months
] exposes the fallacy of all calculations as J
to the future course of a market based
5 upon figures alone. Four months ago,
1 a general alarm pervaded more or less
all classes connected with the cotton
trade, and many calm, dispassionate
1 men were of opinion that before the end
of the present year cotton would have
a advanced to a fabulous price, and that
the stock held in Liverpool would be re
duced to a very insignificant quantity,
e But how have these fears been realized ?
j Cotton fell in price on an average near
. ly 4d. per ib., and the total stock in
Liverpool is larger than it was at this
, time last year. It may he remarked,
b and with perfect truth too, that this ra
pid decline and unlooked for stock, was
8 theresnlt of external circumstances quite
1 beyond human foresight. No doubt to
- some extent this is correct, but many
parties now incline to the opinion that
' had the market gone on advancing in
r October, or even had the extravagant
; high rates then current been maintain
s ed, the results ultimately would have
been the same (though no doubt in a
' much slower degree,) for the continu
■ ance of the then state of things would
1 have caused a general resort to short
I time by spinners and manufacturers, and
the enhanced value of the raw material
i ’would have induced an overwhelming
. i import from all parts of the world.
I The apparent crop of cotton in Ame
rica for the year 1856-57, for perhaps
I! tlie first time on record, proved to have
, j been over-estimated. The total quanti-
I ty brought to the ports only amounted
Ito 2,939,510 hales, against 3,527,485
’ bales the previous year. Small as this
quantity undoubtedly was, the actual
crop of cotton must have been conside
rably less; if any such conclusion may
be drawn freafc the immense amount of 1
jsand and nmnish that was shipped as
cotton to this country throughout the j
>season. To some extent allowance must j'
|be made for the peculiarities of weather 1
j and seasons for the growth of cotton in 1
America, hot no weather or season can
:he a reasonable excuse for the fraudulent !
I packing of the hales with sand and dirt '
jsuchashas been witnessed during the '
■| past year. Too much cannot be said or 1
written on the subject of the honesty of 1
the package, but lam afraid that there
will be plenty of American cotton plan- ]
j ters too anxious to send bales mixed
with a liberal proportion of sand and ,
; earth instead of cotton alone,
i The concluding three months, of last 1
! year were characterised by a large spec
; illative demand for Cotton, and high ,
| prices were consequently established. I 1
, find the quotation for “middling” Or- 1
loans on the 31st December last year *
[was 7 5-Bd. per lb. In the first week of
(the present year the quotation was '
raised l-Bd. per lb. Throughout the 1
[first six months, however, the market {
| was remarkably tranquil, the rates cur- I
i rent for several consecutive weeks tai
ling the same, and on the 3d July “mid
■ filing ” Orleans were quoted at Bd. per
[ Ib. About this period the shortness of j *
last year s crop of American Cotton and ‘
; the apparent gloomy prospects for the r
future, began to alarm all parties in j
| any way connected with Cotton. Spin- !
liers and manufacturers evinced an ex- 1
| tremc desire to stock themselves for J
some months to come, and I find that '
Sin fourteen weeks ending the 11th Sep- <
[tembor, the trade purchased in this ‘
market alone 692,520 hales, or a week- 1
!]y average of 49,465. Os course such
extensive operations, combined with 1
light stocks resulted in a serious ad- ‘
j ranee in prices, and on that day “mid- •
dling” Orleans, werequotedat 9 l-8d 1
[ per lb. For three weeks from that; 1
date the market was dull and irregular, | j
but sound useful Cotton was scarce and -
commanded previous prices. On Thurs- E
day, the Bth Oct., the rate of discount '
I was raised to 6 per cent., which, how
ever, being expected, had no effect on '
prices. On Saturday, the 10th, and
early in the morning of the 12th Octo- 6
her, the market reached the highest point (
ever attained for at least twenty-one ?
j years. A large business was done on
■ speculation (principally by one house; '
land middling Orleans were sold in quan- 1
tity at 9 l-2d per lb. The interval be
tween the 13th October and the after- *
noon of the 12th November was with- 6
out precedent in this country. The in- 1
fluenee of the American crisis now be
gan to be felt. The rate of discount I
was further raised to seven percent. On 1
the 12tli October at noonday, and as a
defensive measure the rate was rapidly "
increased by the directors of the Bank *
of England uutii it reached 10 per cent. ,
on the the 9th November, the highest \
rate ever enforced since the passing of
the present Bank Act. Iu the interim
enormous failures were announced daily, .
the most prominent of a local charac
ter being that of the Liverpool Borough f
Bank, all of which pressed more or less
heavily upon holders of cotton, and as Jj
the legitimate demand was very limi
ted, forced sales were made for cash at -
almost any sacrifice. On the morning
of the 12th November middling Boweds '
were sold at 6d. per lb. Late on theaf- ,
ternoon of that day the Bank Act was
[suspended by order of Government.—
[Cotton at once advanced l-2d. to 3-4 d.
I per lb., but this advantage to holders ]
[was only temporary. Although the
panic was over in this country, its es- '
sects were still to be felt. Immense
failures were announced from day to
day, more pariicularly on the continent,
and general distrust continued to pre- .
vail. Forced sales for cash payment -
continued to be made, and on the 18th
December middling Oiieans were quoted t
at 5 3-4 d. per lb., being a decline of c
3 3 4d. per lb. from the highest point
i attained on the 12th October. t
Before concluding these remarks I 1
I would call the attention of my friends
, not only to the increased consumption, J
- but the improved character of Surat cot
r ton, and to express the hope that al- ;
i though American cotton has fallen to a j
: comparatively moderate price, they will ■
; eontinuo to offer the same encourage- i
i ment to the grower of East India cotton, 1
t now that prices of all kinds are low, as
’ they did-when a much higher price had 1
to be paid for the article in the market.

The prospects of supply for the com
’ ing year are more cheering. The gener
. al estimates of the past year’s crop in
j America vary from 3,000,000 to 3,250,000
, bales, and if any opinion may be formed
’ by the early shipments, its quality will
' prove infinitely superior to that of the
previous year. In addition to an in
! creased American crop, there is every
probability of an abundant import from
t the other cotton growing districts of
. the world.

pT Wood’s Hair Restora
live.—This wonderful preparation is having an
extensive sale in all parts of the Union. It is
one of the few patent medicines which are now
sold over the country, that are really what their
inventors claim for them. Wherever it Ims had
a fair trial, the result has been precisely us
Wood predicts. It has never failed to turn the
white hair back to the natural color, where the
directions have been strictly followed, and in
numerous cases it has restored the hair upon
heads that had been bald for years. It is not
pretended that it will make the hair grow in ev
ery case, but where it tails there is certainly no
remedy. The restoration of the hair has been
effected in so many instances where the case
seemed utterly hopeless, that it is certain v
worth while for all who have lost their hair io
try the experiment of using a bottle or two of
Wood’s Restorative. —Moline Workman.

We take pleasure in referring to the virtue of j
Davis’ Pain Killer. Wc have used the article
and found it valuable. The 3ale of this article in
the United States is beyond all precedent, as the
books of the office will show. —Cincinnati Com
mercial.
Davis’ Vkgktablr Pain Kh.lkr.-Wc first heard
of this medicine uuring a visit to the New Eng
land States, and being struck with the novelty
of the title, were induced to make some inquiry
about it ; and wc were surprised to learn that it
was kept constantly in the houses of most ol the
inhabitants of the cities and villages where we
stopped, to be used in case of sudden attacks ol
pain, burns, scald-, etc., and we heard it spoken
of in terms of high commendation, both by
druggists and physicians.— Phil. Eagle.
Berry Davis' Bain Killer.— lt is a great plea
sure to us to speak favorably of this article,
known almost universally to be a good and safe
remedy for burns and other pains of the body.
It is valuable not only for colds in the winter
but for various summer complaints, and should
be in every family. The casualty which de
mands it may come unawares.— Chris. Adv.
Valuable Medicine —The sale of that remark
able and truly valuable preparation. Berry Davis
Bain Killer, is constantly and rapidly increasing,
i‘uring the past year, the demand for this great
remedy has been altogether unprecedented.
Scarcely a week passes by during which we do
not hear of some remarkable cure having been
performed, within the circle of our acquaintance
by the use of‘Perry Davis’ Bain Killer.’— Proo.
