Ir so his political party, arid perhaps no man ccpmplished so much with so small a capi \v hen he failed to convince his adversary i power of his voice, the volubility of his >, or his dogmatic, overbearing air, as a last he would silence him by the display of a pocket-book, and at the same time, in the nergelic manner, proposing, as Uncle Nat ly expreced it, “ to hack his judgement*’ by ! bet. Though Madam Fame may have heard old cunning stagers y, fools for arguments use wagers always had the intended effect, and besides, 1 a most salutary influence upon ihedoubt :ach party. It was Uncle Nat’s policy to age his friends to wager their money on as, as it inspired them with new’ zeal and d them to increase their efforts in behalf of ally. As he was a bitter opponent of the rslem, and no receipts of tailors were found his valuable papers, it was presumed he ust of his clothing upon the elections, no respect, Uncle Nat exhibited an exlra ■y degree of talent, which at least secured erne with his cotemporarics, should he be m by posterity. When he travelled, he jsl frequently accompanied by a choice set hiug philosophers, who affected to idolize ascendant genius, and whenever his lips they were like the dull Hassanio asked, iood signiors both, when shall we laugh ? y when ?” | u t instantly prepared their risible faculties, and ie close ot his remark was, the signal for one rand and universal roar, it. which Uncle Natal rays joined with hearty glee ! It was thus he ery justly acquired the enviable reputation of a |it, which he sustained so long as he paid their kpenses. I So one ever had a greater control over his tem per, ami studied with more success to master his p-sions. In the midst of the most animated btroversy,abounding in withering sarcasm,and prsts ofhonest indignation, suddenly, as ifcheck jby some inward Monitor, his demeanor was f (pnciliating, his voice mild and soothing in its (piles, and the discussion naturally ended in a ■nerous and polite invitation to drink, which fncle Nat always so managed that his opponent I pad for it. ■ The same fondness for controversy, so often ■splayed in public, was likewise exhibited in his Jt Utiiary affairs, as he ever disputed his mcr cb ml's account, and when a note was presented, its immediate payment was evaded by the plea of A a est factum. And, as they could not be set ill by a drink or bet, each was determined, after Jug and vexatious delay, “by twelve indifferent i|tn,” in a Judicial tribunal. ■ Uncle Mil lived and died a liachelor, although he avowedmhjcct in removing to the sunny south 4as to get a rich wife. Which of the four lear -I*l professions, law, medicine, divinity, or toolh- JHwing he should assume, to give him nominal |j<spectability and strengthen his paramount claims was long a question of serious and perplexing Joubt. At first his love w°s most avaricious, not ieiag content with less than the representative of ane hundred thousand dollars, hut in the decline oflife, when beset by poverty, he told me in con |tlencc, and with sadness and humility, that he would gladly accept the hand of any widow of a landsome dowry ! There was nothing striking in his personal ap pearance or dress, save his hat, which was neith *• of the Oxonian, Tilbury or Collegian shape, lut in the form of a cone, of broad orim, with one ade cocked up, and for the most part resting on tile leftside of his head. I Such were some of the prominent end redeem ing traits in the mental and physical organization •1 my uncle Nat Artless—the Prince of Bar Room Pol.ticians, whose memory is still fondly cherished, and of whom it maybe truly said, ; “ This was the noblest Roman of them all.” SERGEANT EiTLERSIDF,. 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. Justice— Stow But Sube.—A person has peen recently arrested in Buffalo, N.

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.

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.

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.

ENOCH W. SPOFFORD. april 21 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.
