I So one ever had a greater control over his tem

p-sions. In the midst of the most animated
btroversy,abounding in withering sarcasm,and
prsts ofhonest indignation, suddenly, as ifcheck

f (pnciliating, his voice mild and soothing in its
(piles, and the discussion naturally ended in a

■ The same fondness for controversy, so often
■splayed in public, was likewise exhibited in his

its immediate payment was evaded by the plea of
A a est factum. And, as they could not be set

Cholera in Mississippi. — Dreadful fatality
smong the slaves !—The following story, says
(lie St. Louis Pennant, is no sKetch offancy—we
lave responsible authority for its truth.
| A few weeks ago an extensive cotton planter
in Mississppi, who owned about one hundred and
r'y negroes, found the cholera had suddenly
froken out among them, and raged most furious
ly—carrying off some ten or fifteen daily. The
flews travelled speedily amongst his neighbors,
*nJ no one had the temerity to go near the “in
fcoled district,” for fear of the contagion! Every
fay a long line of rough board coffins was carried
iito the fields and deposited in the earth, while
fuizens expressed the deepest sympathy for their
Unfortunate Neighbor. At length they were ncar
» a *l gone, and the ruined planter sold his land
ind started lor Texas, to commence the world a
|ew. Af*er several days had elapsed, however,
Iveral gentlemen, suspecting that all was not
;ht , caused a number of coffins to be unearthed,
id found that they contained—nothing. Deuce
e bit of a negro was in any of them ! A few j
iys afterwards, accounts were received from
exas stating that the “unfortunate gentleman”
id purchased a splendid plantation there, ami
;th the whole of his 150 negroes, was driving
le cotton business at a great rate ! The gen
tleman creditors looked blank at each other, and
Ihe neighbors laughed heartily at the joke.

In our report of last Saturday morning we ob
served that the Cotmn market closed extremely
inactive on the evening previous, owing to lire
unwillingness of buyers to pay the very full prices
general!}- asked by holders. In consequence, how
ever, of the arrival on Saturday of a number of
vessels from sea, and of a further decline in the
rates of freight, buyers were induced to come for
ward and meet the demands of holders, and sales
were effected during the day to the extent of 2300
bales. On Monday there was again a very fail
demand, and about 2100 bales changed hands at
rates in some instances, a shade higher than those
current on Saturday. The market yesterday was
very quiet, and the sales did not amount to more
than 600 bales. One cause of this inactivity", per
haps, was the wet state of the weather, but it may
be chiefly attributed to the little inducement which
the present stock on sale holds out to buyers, as it
is not only very light, but also in a great measure
composed of small lots ol inferior and middling
cottons. Our quotations for ordinary remain the
same as previously, but for the other grades they
have advanced a quarter of a cent. The sales
during the three days amount to 5000 bales.

ket very inactive, though we remarked that it
closed with some enquiry for shipment. This re
sumed in quite an animated business, 700 0 800
hhds having changed hands, generally at 4-£ 0 5$
cents. The greater part of the purchases, were
for the northern markets, there being still only a
very limited demand for the city and the upper
country. The receipts have been very light dur
ing the last few days, and the transactions above
noticed have materially- reduced the stock on sale,
particularly of the higher grades, to which de
scriptions they were almost entirely confined.—
We now quote 4 0 5\ cents as the general range
of the market, remarking that some lots of very
choice command 5§ oof cents. We are not ad

Molasses —Several further parcels have come in
during the last few- days, but some little demand
having sprung up U r the upper country they have
met with a tolerably ready sale at 17 0 18 cents
p gallon, in barrels, and the supply on the Levee
is again reduced to a limited quantity. We know
of no sales on plantation.
flour —We nave no material improvement to
notice in the demand, which is confined exclusive
ly, so far as we can learn, to the supply of the city,
and of places in the immediate neighborhood ; but
the small stock and receipts have caused
holders to become more firm and to claim a further
slight advance, which they have generally obta n
ed within the last day or two, and wc now quote
superfine at $4 0 $4 25, the latter price being for
fresh Cincinnati flour, which usually commands an
extra price at this season of the year. The re
ceipts of the last three days are about 14C3 bbls.

A CARO. —In crossing the Savannah river in
the ferry boat from Hamburg to Avgusta,on Satur
day afternoon, May 33, I threw (by permission)
my blue broadcloth cloak into the one horse wagon
of an individual, who, with his wife and a small
child, was crossing at the same time. The wife
knew of the fact, for it was to her I addressed
myself. When I arrived at the landing, I came off
leaving my cloak, which was carried off by the
ndividuals alluded to. The lady, if 1 mistake not,
told me they were moving from South Carolina to
the weslern part of this State, (Georgia). If any
kind friend could give me 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,
