OflAf. W. WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE MARKET. BiruaucAX Bahxir Omci, Nunf-ille, Feb. 26, 1867.

Remarks. The weather continues open and Springlike. Since our last review we have bad one or two heavy but yesterday was warm and cloudy, after a copious rain on the night previous. Business continues quite brisk, and. navigation in good Btage.

The Packets and Cincinnati freight boats are running regularly, and we have now one New Orleans boat at the wharf. DRY GOODS. The trade has already opened with unprecedented activity, considering the early period, and some of our merchants are full of work putting up bills. The style of their stocks, and their extent, are points of unusual attraction, and as far as merchants havo examined them, are giving entire satisfaction. Our Hardware, Qoeekswabe, Deco and Dvr, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Clothiho and other Wholesale Departments are also well represented by unusually large stocks, and merchants are coming in to examine and fill their bills.

GROCERIES. The stocks of Groceries are now fully ample in all departments, and a heavy trade is opening. In this department it has been demonstrated beyond a doubt, that we can do better by the merchant in the interior than he can do in New Orleans. The best evidence of this is the fact, that most of our small dealers buy at home, and can buy better than below or in New York. A circumstance came incidentally under our observation the other day where a manufacturing establishment, consuming considerable sugar, after testing the market fairly, purchased a bill of $4,000 in sugar on Market street, in preference to New Orleans, with good navigation, and for no other reason except that he could buy it cheaper here.

We hear of little or no fluctuation in the grocery market CANDLES Mould are unchanged. Star Can dles are firm at 25a2i. COFFEE. The stock is ample, and prices favor holders. We quote Rio at llal 2.

COTTON. The market ha3 fluctuated very little during the week, and, indeed, we notice no change in actual quotations. We may remark, however, that we have beard of repeated sales at a fraction over our outside figure, and noticed also many cases where the highest quotation was paid for lots embracing various grades. The sales of the week have been about equal to the average, at prices ranging from $10 50 to $12 35. Sales yesterday of about 200 bales at $10 SO.

We quote as heretofore, with the above qualification Inferior 8 a 8i Ordinary 8fa 9 Low Middling 10Tall Middling lliall Good Middling 12 The receipts of the week amount to 1,058 bales against 1,644 for the week previous; and the total receipts since Sept 1st amount to 22,459 against 13,062 for the same time last year. FEATHERS are dull at our quotations i3a45. FLOUR The market is without change. We noticed the other day the receipt of 1000 bbls. from Cincinnati, the first lot received thence in some time.

We quote Superfine 6 00a6 50, and Extra Family 6 76a7 00. DRIED FRUIT continues in good demand at our quotations, viz: apples $1 50, peaches $2 50. GRAIN. We hear of no change in Grain. Wheat is in demand at $1 00, and some buyers are offering $1 10 for extra lots for grinding.

Cork is in demand at 45a50, the latter figure only paid for extra lots, ready for shipment, and deliverable in merchantable condition. Oats are in demand at 40c. HIDES are in demand at our quotations, as per Price Current. WOOL readily commands 28aS0 cents for a good article. MOLASSES is in good supply, and no change in figures.

We still quote New Orleans 68a75. PROVISIONS. The movement in Bacon con tinues active, and price3 have sustained very little fluctuation since our last. Yesterday 9c was offered freely for hog round, but we heard of no advance, though we thought the demand a little more active. Botter is in better supply, and is wholesaling at 15c.

and retailing at 20c. Lard is in demand at lOJallc. Meal comes in freely at 50c, at wholesale Potatoes, Irish, are selling at $1 00, and offering freely. Eggs are in better supply, and wholesaling at 10c, and 12 retail. SUGAR continues in good supply, with no change in prices.

Tobacco. The receipts in hhds. continue light, though we notice a gradual improvement in the amount ot sales in hhds. Sales yesterday of 2 hhds. at Johnson, Home warehouse at 11.00al3.

75, and 6 hhds. at A. Hamilton's as follows: 8.40; 2 at 8.55; 9.15; 11.50 and 12.85. We quote Frosted 5 a 7 Planter's Lugs 8 a 8 Common Leaf. 9al0i Fair Leaf Ilfal2 Choice Selection 12al4 Loose Tobacco 7 al2 The quotations of all the leading articles, careful' ly corrected, will be found in our Price Current, to which we refer for further particulars of the market, ATLANTA MARKETS.

Important to Consumptives. Many valuable lives hare been saved by HnwDtur, Clabk Gistnst Cod lavu Oil, which, In all human probability, would have been lost but for its timely use. It is no quack medicine, but the pure Oil, made with th utmost care from the Fresh Cod Fish Liters, and is recommended by the most sminent physicians la Europe and America, and has proved by ten years experience the mast valuable remedy for Cokscmptios and Scrofcla ever discovered, for, while it cures the disease, it increases the health and strength of the patient. Caution. There is a great deal of spurious oil, adulterated with Seal Oil, Whale Oil, 4c, which, instead of benefitting, injures the patier.t, by deranging the digestive organs, but being cheaper, is by unprincipled persons palmed off for genuine.

Notick, that 11EDGE11AN, CLARK signature is over the cork, and the Eagle and Mortar on the label; for since the death of W. L. RuBhton, our late partner, there has been an article called Rushton'a put in the market, which is in no way connected with R. A or II. C.

24 2mdiw. Great cure of Rheumatism lin Cincinnati, Ohio-CoNvrKciso Evidence. 1-or more than three years Ii have been suffering with rheumatism and enlargement and pain of the bones and joints. I have strictly followed the advice of physicians, and at other times used such family mtdicines as had been recommended for the enre of Rheumatism; still I did not improve in the least, and was frequently compelled to keep my bed, and thereby was prevented from attending to mv business. Some weeks ago I was induced by a friend to try Carter's Spanish Mixture.

The efftct was miraculous. I fe considerably improved after I had taken the fourth dose; 1 have only used one single bottle, and am entirely free from all pain. I feel better than I have felt for years, and I attribute my completely-restored health solely to the use ot Cart r's Spanish Mixture. I consider it a most excellent medicine for rheumatism and all diseases of the blood, and cheerfully recommend it to the aJUctetl D. BURRITT, South-east corner Fourth and Walnut Sts.

We have Been it arrest threatened baldness, and restore to the head its original profusion of natural and glossy hair, and-when the letter has been prematurely tinged with gray, we have seen it, like magic, restore the colors of youth and health. The distinguishing property of this, we might truly say, miraculous "Restorative," is that it gives to the person who uses it the same head of J.air that thev wore in youth, thus acting in strict compliance with the rules or the first and greatest of all toilet makers Nature.

21 dweo6m. CHOOSER'S MILLINERY ESTABLISHMENT. We accepted an invitation yeBterday to look through the extensive stock of Millinery just opened by Mr. Crooker, at his new house on Union street. Albeit we are a Benedict, and there is a popular prejudice extant that heads families have a peculiar horror or the inroads which fashionable finery occasionally makes upon their bonk accounts, we venture to say that the most unappreciative individual could not keep down his admiration of the tasty ornaments exhibited by Crooker.

"Solomon in all his glory" would have paled his ineffectual fires be fore the attractive array which burdens his shelves and counters. Bonnets of the most superb styles, Sowers that almost eclipse their bright originals, ribbons, and all the paraph ran alia which goes to make up the tout ensemble of a fashionable belle can be seen, and purchased at astonishingly low prices, at Crooker's. The country merchant will also find at this establishment supplies in this department of trade at prices and of a description which will please and astonish him.

Putnam, asked leave to present to I the society some ancient and valuable documents, which were received. Among these relics and i documents is a miniature of Gov. John SsTIer, first Chief Magistrate of Tennessee, a portfolio used by Henry Clay while Senator, the original manu- script articles of government adopted at Nash-! borough, May 1, 1780, with the proceedings and archives of said government, embracing the autographs of 240 persons, the then inhabitants of the five "Stations" on the Cumberland river, and various other interesting articles. Wm. Wales, with a view of adding still further to the archives of the Society, moved the appointment of a committee to wait upon Andrew Jackson, and Mrs.

J. K. Polk, with a view of ascertaining what contributions they would be willing to make to the Society, of articles connected with the personal and public histories of Gen. Andrew Jackson and Jas. K.

Polk. The chair appointed Messrs. Thos. Washington, Sam. D.

Morgan, and A. W. Putnam, such committee. Wm. Wales, occupied the attention of the Society at some length in makingsoine valuable and interesting suggestions looking to the promotion of the success of the objects of the society.

A. W. Putnam, also made similar suggestions. On motion by Wm. Wales, the corresponding Secretary was requested to put the Society in communication with similar Societies throughout the country.

On motion by Wm. A. Eichbaum, Messrs. R. J.

Meigs, A. Nelson and H. K. Walker, were elected members of the Society. On motion by Mr.

Wales, Ordered. That any person contributing any valuable relic, book or manuscript to the Sociely, be constituted an honorary member, and that the relic or article so presented, be inscribed with the name the donor, and placed on permanent exhibition in the Society's Room in the Capitol. On motion Ordered, That ah annual address be delivered in the month of October, by some person to be designated by the Society. The Society then adjourned to the 25th. High Pricks.

One of our leading restaurants is now charging $1 for a single beefsteak for one, and $1 for a venison steak for one. A gentleman invited two of his friends to dine with him. One of the party called for a venison steak, and one of them for a beef steak. There was also a dozen oysters and some celery used. The bill was $3,50.

No wine or liquor was used. This would indicate that provisions are nearly up to the San Francisco scale in our goodly city. Memphjp Appeal. We advise our Memphis friends, when they want to dine, to come up here, where they can get a dinner and travelling expenses paid for what it cost them in one of their "leading restaurants," and served up, too, in better style, by Sam. Riddleberger.

Female Suffrages. The Committee State in the Michigan Senate, has reported favorably to extending the right of suffrage to females. When the ladies vote we shall need no special police force on election days. River News. The Cumberland was about on a stand yesterday, five feet on the shoals.

Weather warm and cloudy. The arrivals since our last report are the Blanche Lewis from Louisville, and the City of Huntsville from Cairo. The latter left yesterday on her return trip. The Princess left yesterday for Cincinnati. We hear of nothing from the wreck of the Humboldt.

Weather Tuesday night brought us a copious fall of rain. Yesterday was warm and cloudy with strong indications of an additional fall. Cotton Crop. We have already noticed that the proprietors of the Mobile Tribune have offered a prize of a beautiful silver tea set, worth three hundred and seventy dollars, for the nearest estimate of the crop of 1856-7, each estimate to be accompanied by an enclosure of $5. That paper of yesterday says A few estimates of the cotton crop were unfilled last night.

The seventy-four will doubtless be taken up by to morrow morning. When ihe list shall have been completed, we shall close it. Those persons who send after that, will have their money returned to them. We have already estimates from Louisiana, Georgia and Mississippi. On Tuesday morning the figures of all the estimates will be published, numbered as they were received.

"And there were Giants in those Days." We hope our readers will not be so incredulous as to laugh at the following if they can help it A correspondent of the National (111 Emporium writing from Claves, Ohio, says: A few days ago, while Wat Eckman and Mike Shots were digging a well for James Malson, near North Bend, Ohio, the skeleton of a man, or rather a giant, was found twenty-nine feet below the surface of the earth living, towered to the enormous height of twenty-three feet and ten inches. Prof. Lind, who examined the skeleton, says "The os-hurrerus of the skeleton measured six feet four and a half inches, and the superior condyle, where it enters the glenoid cavity of the Ecapula, measured eighteen and three-eighths inches in diameter." Hence, says the Doctor, "admitting the proposition demonstrated by comparative anatomy, that all muscular power depends on the magnitude of the articulating condyles of the limbs to which they were attached, we must arrive at the startling fact, that this monster man while in full vigor ot life, was twenty-three feet ten inches high, and was capable of wielding the forearm with sufficient force to have thrown a cannon ball weighing 18 lbs. from Cincinnati to Indianapolis, or a distance of 88 miles; or to have taken a large mill-stone in each hand, and walked with perfect ease at the astounding rate of thirty-seven and one-eighth miles an hour." jy On a recent rainy day a wag was heard exclaim "Well, my umbrella is a regular Catholic!" "How so?" inquired a friend. "Because it always keeps lent." Benefactors of Mankind.

It is not he who nvented Brussels Carpeting or Gold Brocade, whom the masses have reason to hold in regard but he who furnishes something useful to every-body. One of our government officials lately returned from his mission in Brazil, tells as an anecdote that among the first enquiries made of him about his acquaint ance with our public men, was whether he knew the American Chemist, Dr. J. C. Ayer, who invent ed the Cherry Pectoral Cathartic Pills.

As these articles (more particularly the Cherry Pectoral) are in general use in the cities of South America they are the most prevalent representations of American products, and as many thousands there as well as here, owe to them the recovery of their health from malignant diseases, it is not strange they should hold the inventor in esteem, but it ia rather simple in them to suppose that the Doctor is the only man of mark we have among our twenty- five million people.

WcflREA Tennessee Historical Societv. We publish this morning the proceedings of a meeting of this Society held yesterday at the Capitol. We are pleased to see that the leading members are determined to make an effort to awaken a proper interest in the important objects of the Society, and we trust every citizen of the State will feel an obligation to do something to promote its success. Nearly every State in the Union has outstripped us in the matter of preserving and collecting interesting relics of their individual history, and not one of them is richer in material than Tennessee. There are scattered throughout the State historical records, archives and mementos numerous and invaluable, which are consiantly being drawn away by foreign societies, or destroyed and lost.

The Tennessee Historical Society have the assurance that they will have the permanent occupation of a suitableYoom in the Capitol for the deposit of their records and relics, and already have the temporary use of one of the vacant apartments. They desire to collect whatever can be collected, as spi-edily as possible, and arrange their museum properly for its preservation, and in such a way that it can be visited by citizens and strangers. It will be seen by their proceedings that they solicit contributions from all portions of the State. We are requested to state that any communications addressed to the officers will be promptly attended fr. ViTinHivr Vsi! ia Prsi(int Wr A Cooper, Recording Secretary, John R.

Eiken, Wurtrace Depot, Corresponding Secretary, and Wu. A. Eichbacm, Treasurer. The Society will be grateful to the press throughout the Suite who will copy the proceedings in another column, and call attention to the objects of the Society. Persons wishing to b' come members can do so by calling upon the officers, or addressing them by letter.

Auction Sale op Groceries. The sale of Groceries advertised for yesterday by Morris Strat-ton wa3 postponed, on account of the inclemency of the weather, until this morning. The trade will bear this in mind, as a fine assortment of goods will be offered. Burglar. Some person, unknown, secreted himself in the store house of Stewart Noel, Broad street, on Tuesday night, before the hour of closing, and when the Clerks had retired, he commenced a tour of investigation.

The cash drawer was robbed of about $2 in change, and a $10 counterfeit, Cape Fear Bank, which the owner came yesterday to redeem. This was all the burglar got for his trouble, and he opened the door and departed. Rather a poor investment. WHOLESALE DRY GOODS TRADE A. J.

DUNCAN 4 CO. The growing prosperity of our city, its increasing importance as a commercial centre, and the rapid enhancement in the value and desirability of its real estate, is owing in a great degree to the enter prise, energy and liberality of its merchants, and to none more than the Dry Goods Jobber. Any one who will trace the history of this branch of business up to the year 1580 for instance, this city, and canvass the position it occupies now, will find no limit to the surprise which the contrast will elicit It has p-rown from a sicklv infancv to lustv manhood ia that short period, and now occupies a rival position with corresponding departments in the largest cities west of the mountains. In fact, the seaport marKeis inemseives, in no respect, ouer supenur advantages to the retail merchant to the Nashville market, and in many important points, the balance ia in our favor. Without being invidious we may say that no house had done more to stimulate competition, to attract trade, and to bring our city, as a wholesale market, to the attention of buyers, far and near, than that of A.

J. Duncan Co. The members of this firm are determined to leave no attraction unapplied, and have the nerve to hazard a great deal to carry their point. One would say, to go through their establishment, and examine the amount of stock in store, and its character, that it required no little litte confidence in "coming events" to invest so large an amount of money in goods. But "nothing risked, noting made," is a good motto.

We shall not attempt to tell our merchant readers any thing of the stock in this establishment. We passed through it yesterday, "from cellar to garret," and we feel our utter incompetency to do the subject justice. We can say, however, in general terms, that the styles of goods are generally superior in quality, more extensive in variety, and attractive in styles than any before brought on by these merchants. But of these things the merchants themselves are better judges than we are. We com mend thcra to an examination of the different departments of this establisment, and we believe the most fastidious will find goods fine enough and handsome enough, in any department, to suit his customers.

We understand that the trade is opening this Sprine with unusual activity. One of the members of this firm informed us that the sales this month exceed those of the Bame time last year more than Jour times. Such facts as these are encouraging to our enterprising merchants, and promise them an ample return for their enterprise and liberality. Dr. Kane Dead His Remains.

The death of Dr. Kane, the celebrated Arctic Explorer, is confirmed. A despatch in the Louisville Journal says his remains were received in New Orleans on Mon day, where they will remain; in sjtate one day, and be forwarded to Philadelphia, where his parents reside. The remains were brought in the steamer Ca- hawba. The despatch states that the highest honors paid by the officials of Cuba.

"Took in The Memphis Appeal of the 21st publishes the following item of News. Somebody has been sold A private despatch has been received in this city, from flasnviiie, stating tnat a negi muraerea a pro minent citizen of Davidson county, on Tuesday last, and that his master had run him off.
