Cotton —The Cotton market has continued quiet
and uniform for some time past, with a steady fair
inquiry, both for exportation and home use. * The
recent unfavorable advices fiom abroad, have had
no visible effect here, principally owing to the low
pi ices now prevalent, and the absence of all specu
lative demand. The sales include 2500 bales Up
land and Florida at 7 a 9 4 ; rents ; 400 do Mobile,
Gj a 11; and 150 do New Orleans, 7A a 10A, form
ing a total for the week of about 5,700 bait's.
Flour —The Flour market since our last repo t
has presented no mat rial change, there having
continued a steady fair demand for Western to
supply the usual demand for «ity use, and occa
sional parcels for the Eastward. Yesterday, how
ever, there was less activity, partly owing to light
receipts for a few days past from the interior. Wc
understand there is now very little remaining afloat
unsold. Common brands Genesee may be quoted
at $ I G2A a $4 75; and Ohio and Michigan in
round and that hoops, $4 25 a $1 50; 200 bbls Ohio,
via New Oilcans, including all of this description

continues scaiee, with .i very moderate demand for

A CARD.—An crossing the Favannnh river in
the ferry boat from Hamburg to Augusta,on Satur
day afternoon. May 30, I throw (hv permission)
my blue broadcloth cloak into the one horse wagon
of an individual, who, with his wife anil a small
child, was crossing at the same time. The wife
v knew of the tact, for it was to her I addressed
myself. \\ hen I arrived at the landing, I came off
leaving my cloak, which was carried off by the
individuals alluded to. The lady, if I mistake not,
told me they were moving Horn South Carolina to
the western part of this State, (Georgia). If any
kind friend could give mo the clue to their names,
or the place to which they were travelling, so that
I may obtain my valuable cloak, he would confer
a favor upon one who at times is too forgetful for
his own interest. JAMES SEWELL.

PEDIGREE.
J. R. If. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows : —‘ Tom Tunstali was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare;
the sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolef. Tom
Tunstali was sired by o'd Pacific, and lie by old
Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’
I am satisfied Tom Tunstali has descended from as
gcod a stock as any horse in the United States. —
He was a race herse of the first order, but I tear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owing to his leg ; it was injured when a three yeai
old, in training, as 1 believe. By addressing Har
py Ckyer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you ran g:t a full
pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstali.” The same
Mr. Hardy Cryer cor tines thus : —•“Highland Maiy
combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough
breds than any maic ever raised in Tennessee.—
She was got by tiic noted horse Pacolet, the son of
imported Citizen -, her dam Rosey Carey by Sir
Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported
horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine,
(son of O’Kcllcy’s Eclipse, and one of the purest
importations of the last century-,) great grand-dam
by the imported horse Wrangler;greal-gicat-grand
dam OTossum by imported Shark; gveat-great
great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar
ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great
great-great-grand-dam by imported Feamaught;
great-gveat-groat-great-great-grand-dam by Leo’s
old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Nlou
key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary
to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
will require a purer or better attested pedegrcc!—

Macon, and is nearly central to the Btate. Its
location and scenery blend the advantages of health
ami pine air, with the charm of a romantic pano
rama of woods, and vales, and cultivated fields, at
once interesting as a retreat to the valetudinarian
—to the man of business, and the devotee of

been laid before the public,! deem it unnecessary
to say more than apply their medicinal properties
to the healing art. In the mitigation and iclief of
the following diseases, they stand pre-emhmnt :
Dropsy, hydrocephalus in infants, marasmus, teeth

dyspepsia, billions derangement and affections of
the liver, diabetic and calculous disorders of the
kidneys, herpetic and scrofulous eruptions of the

originating from low and miasmatic distric s of

to debilitated constitutions, will be kept in good
order, and a careful male and female, to attend
them. The chambers arc large and airy, and the
