the honor to engross my society, seeing me de

c o!s for tiie purpose of fulfilling shipping engage

duced so very low, that it would be impossible to

difficult to be obtained. The sales during the week

Sugar. — Louisiana. — There has been only amod
erate business doing on the Levee since our report
of Saturday last, but the firmness of holders has
enabled them to realize a further improvement in
prices. The sales of the week comprise about 500
hhds., generally at 4A (d 6 cents, most oi the trans
actions being at 5 0 cents, and in some few in
stances as high as 6$ (d 6£ cents have been paid
for small parcels of choice. The purchases have
been in limited lots, part for the North, part for
Georgia and the tipper country, and the balance to
city grocers and speculators. The stock on the
Levee is still very fair, but it is almost entirely in
second hands, the limited parcels that are coming
ia from plantation, on planters’ account, being
bought up on speculation about as fast as they ar
rive. \Ve quote the general range of the market
at 0 0 cents, with a tendency' to improve. Some
further transactions have taken place on planta
tion, We notice a sale, which occurred in the lat
ter part of last week, of 280 hhds. at 4$ cents;
sulsequently one of 200 hhds. at 5 cents, and yes
terday one o f 150 hhds. on Bayou Lafourche at
cts. I hese are the only crops of any magnitude
that remained in the hands of the planters.
Molasses. The demand is moderate, but the re
ceipts are light, and parcels are pretty readily dis
posed of as they arrive, at 17 0 18 cts. & gallon,
the latter bein£ the prevailing rate for barrels in
good order. We have heard of no sales on planta
tion since our last.
F lour,*— -In ourreportof Saturday last, we placed
our quotations at $4 75 for Superfine, remarking
that a further advance must soon be established in
the absence of more liberal receipts. Since then,
the whole quantity received has been only 286
barrels, 250 of which came in on Monday, and
were sold from the Levee at $5 25. Holders have
daily advanced their rates, and y r esterday r , at the
time of making our enquiries, we found the price of
Superfine to be $6 75 0 $7 03 which figures we
adopt, for our quotation. The only sale of any im
portance, besides the one noticed above, wa® a lot
of 242 barrels, resold from second hands on Thurs
day', at $6 50. Generally the trrnsp; ons are ve
ry limited, as they necessarily must be with such
an extremely low stock, to the smallness of wh’ lx
alone is to he attributed the advance. Some sal 5
ot Sour Flour have been made to bakers at $4 €O.
Bacon. — Ihe demand continues to be limit ’to
small parcels, but the very light stoi k of good sound

SECOND PROSPECTUS.
The unparalleled success with which our enter
prise has met, has induced us to increase our ex
ertions in the good cause. In order, therefore, to
induce our friends to form clubs for the promotion
of the cause, we shall, after the first of August,
reduce the price to FIFTY CENTS a copy, or two
copies for ONE DOLLAR.
Those, therefore, who desire to have their names
enrolled on out list should have them here in time.
Let our friends be vigilant and active, and our
success is certain. All the people want is light,
and if we have a corresponding effort on the part
of the friends of Reform, they shall have light.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
PLANTERS’ (4AZETTE.
Edited by D. G. Dotting, Washington, Georgia.
IN offering a new Journal to the public for pa
tronage, it is customary and proper to set forth
in a prospectus, the principles which its conduc
tors intend to support, and to give such pledges as
to its management that its patrons may not at any
future time find themselves deceived or disappoint
ed in its course.
And first, as to our political creed. Believing
that there is at present a crisis in our national af
fairs, which requires the hearty and unremitting
exertions of every true lover of his country to
preserve it from the destruction that menaces it
that a powerful and fatal influence is now exerted
upon our institutions by ambitious and unprinci
pled politicians; that tHe Constitution, that safe
guard of c,ur liberties, is iu danger from their ma
chinations, and that the State Rights doctri«K and
the principles of the revolutionary patriotTonly,
can preserve it inviolate, we shall give our unde
viating support to those doctrines. Our motto
shall be “Principles and Men;” therefore, of the
prominent candidates for the Presidency, now be
| fore the people, we choose those for our support
who we believe will carry out State Right® mea
sures, viz: General WILLIAM HENRY HAR
RISON and JOHN TYLER, gentlemenrvhomeven
their enemies allow to be true patriots and honest
men.
As the title of our journal indicates, we shall
devote much of its columns to the interests of
Agriculture, We shall endeavor to give to the
Planter the latest and best information of the im
provements, now almost daily taking place in his
business. We are aware that in the strife of party,
agriculture, the foundation on which society rests,
has been too much neglected by the press, and that
some “Reform” is needed in this respect.
All the aid incur power shall be given to the
cause of literature, and we shall endeavor to ren
der the Gazette as interesting as possible to every
class of readers.
