That 'which is the business of all, seems to be the business of no one And, pray, why is this ? Is it thought thereis no one neces sity for a change in the course of the cotton trade ? Oris it supposed that nothing can l>e done, and therefore it is useless for any one to trouble himself in the matter Now, if any one thinks either is the case one who has devoted the best part of his life studying the subject, thinks quite the •contrary, and has come to the conclusion that there is both necessity for something to be done, and that something can be doue—buC that something must be'done by the Cotton Planter himself. It cannot be done by the merchant, for he has not the means nor power. He has not the power, with all his aids of banks and cor respondents, and financiering, to dam up the cotton current after the Planter lets it go. As soon as the planter does, it must iu the present state and course of trade, flow on until it reaches the spinner, fond he can only delay it while it is passing throuork his machinery. Ihe immense amount of money which it takes to buy the crop, and to manufacture it, makes it impossible to bold it IoDg, even if there was not another crop to follow, or for any set of men, ex cepting the planters who grow it, to exer cise much control beyond running out here a pier to check the current, until they can mimaf e a portion on their own terms, and and there ajtttty to shoot it forward into their hands, according to their own will and this they do, as tie trade is conducted «.Mt efficiently. This, any one can see who wateaes the course of tie trade, and is acquainted with all its machinery. That there ts a neeessity for something to be done to relieve the planter from being the “hewer of wood and drawer of water” to the speculative operator, and the English spinner, and to preserve the profits of the trade more at the South, a few facts would, show; but we have not the statistics at hand to present it in as clear light as we desire. That there is a necessity for a change, the feet that a considerable portion of the^rop is^aent to England, and then went from thence, at a profit, to a continen tal port, is a positive proof. England re aves more than she can profitably manu facture, and receiving a-eurplus, it enables her to regulate the price without fear of preventing a sufiicient quantity beino-sbip ped to her ports. The surplus beinj sent or carried to her, banishes all fear of defici ency i a her supply. If another market, was created to take the surplus and a little inorej John fijill would soon bid higher and more regular prices. And that she is con stautly exporting as regularly as she re ceives the cotton, shows that there are oth er markets, and all that we have to do is, to supply those markets directly. And as our merchants have not commercial connec tion with those markets, Our Agent.—Mr. F. W. Johnson is our only authorised Agent, in Wilkinson coun ty. We make this alteration from the fact that we are obliged, from the situation of our business, to send an Agent into those! their number, of Representatives, counties where our paper is much circulat \ causing great dissatisfaction in the agricul ed, and .are unable to keep more than one i tural and commercial portions, and is ad in that business. j ding some force to the plan for" the division of the State. The San Francisco Herald gives a table qf the amount of taxes paid by each county in California, and also a number of Representatives that are apportioned to each.

Snaps.—Dr. Hayne’s man Daniel, who has some character as an horticulturist here abouts, sends us a specimen of his Snap Beans. They are very fine for the season and challenge the fast men for comparison. Affray—We learn that an affray took place in Emanuel county, on Friday night last, between Henderson Tucker and Sam’l Smith, both of that county, in which the latter was badly cut and stabbed. Tucker was arrested on the spot, and committed foi trial at the present, term of the Superior court of Emanuel. Both of the parties vVere drunk at the time. Smith was for merly a resident of this county. prohibiting the carrying of concealed weap ons, and providing that to be found with either a pistol, knife, dirk, stilletto, or any other weapon by which life may be taken, upon the person, shall be considered as jsri- ma fade evidence of an intent to murders and punishable as such. Wholesale Expulsion.—Twenty-five students of the sophomore class in Yale College, have been expelled, in consequence, it is said, of the Kappa Sigma Theta Socie ty, to v\ hich they belonged, having publish ed severaljcaricatures abusive of some of the officers of the faculty. The affair seems to have occasioned some excitement in New Haven. Gas in Augusta.—The Augusta Con stitutionalist says that the contractor is busily engaged, in laying the pipes through the streets, for the conveyance of Gas to the different parts of the city. It is expected that the Gas-works will be completed early Homocide.—We learn that Mr. FrenchJuly, and having an abundance of Gas, of Sparta, killed Rich’d Carew of the same place on Friday morning last. The killing it is said, was occasioned by some threats made by Carew against the life of French. French gave himself up to the legal au thorities, and after investigation was dis charged. Late from Buenos Ayres,—Boston? April 10.—Advices from Rio Janeiro to the 2d qf March have been received. Buencs Ayres had surrendered to the allied forces, and General Urquiza had been appointed Governor protem. Stringent measures had been taken to prevent all disorders among the populace. After the embarkation of Rosas, General Marcilla disbanded the troops, who immediately proceeded to sack and burn the houses. Rosas had gone to England in the steamer Conflict, on the 12th of February. The new Government organized on the 18th of February, and had appointed a day for the public entry of the allied forces into Buenos Ayres. they of course will celebrate the “Glourious Fourth,” with becoming honors. 22, John street, New York.

And that there is Destructive Storm at Norfolk.—A violent hail storm accompanied with thun- not too much cotton made, the fact that der and lightning, occurred at Norfolk and the stocks of ^cotton R were smaller at the end ot the year 1849, when the preceding crop was 2,7 28,596 bales, than it was at the end of the year 1848, with a crop to consume of only 2;347,634, and the crop preceding that amounting only to 1,778,- 650 bales, clearly shows. And if an acci dental surplus of 3 to 400,000 bales has been so readily used up in the year, by En gland, does it not show what she can do, and w’hat she will do, if competition is only raised up against her for the cotton crop. Send delegates to the Cotton Convention, and let the subject be fully canvassed. Something can be done, and ought to be done; and if the Planters and Merchants continue to meet, they will pass off their ..crude ideas, and at last combine upon some measure which will remedy the evil of such fluctuating.puices, and of "the I053 of the .profits of the trade, and a little more to the South.

[for THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN.] SANDERSVILLE, April 18th 1852. Mr. S. B. Crafton, Esq. Dear Sir:—Through the kindness of the Secretary of State, I am enabled to for ward you a certified copy of the ‘Act’ pass ed by the last Legislature, to compensate the Petit Jurors of Washington county.— By reference to the act, it appears that it is the duty of the Clerk of the Court, to collect the confessions and verdicts, and pay the same over to the Jurors at the close of the Court, and to give each Juror a certifi cate for the balance due him, which certifi cate is a draft on the county Treasurer for the amount it calls for. I have made these remarks in relation to ^he law, for the purpose of calling the at tention of the Jurors, who served at the last term of our Superior Court, to the fact, that if they have reoeived nothing for their ser vices, it is not the fault of the law. The Act makes it the unqualified duty of the Clerk of the Court to pay over the amount collected, and give a certificate for the bal ance. I will forbear sajing any more upon this subject for the present, trusting that those men who served so faithfully as Jurors dur ing our last Superior Court, will no longer be deprived of their just reward.

Everything is skarce out' this way, but we don’t have to pay any such prices as the above. John F.

The following account of the Rock Island Paper Factory near Colombus, in this State has been furnished to the Columbus Senti nel: “It is what is called, (in paper makers parliance, ) a six engine mill—i. e. it con tains four rag engines, capable of grinding up 2,500 lbs. old rags in 24 hours, and making 60 reams, if in one contiuous sheet uu would extend 13 miles.

They desire to know how Jong the competition is to be kept up before England breaks down, and how much tax they will have to pay to bring about such a desideratum. They state that there are many companies that would glad ly accept this line of service at the present rate ot compensation, and give ample se curity for the faithful performance of their duties, with a sufiicient guarantee for its be ing the pride of the nation in speed and comfort, but not in the gewgaws of fancy.

It is described as made of iron, compact, and massive, and weighing seven teen tons. It turns out three thousand brick an hour. It is worked by a steam engine of 20 horse power. Attached to the ma chine is a pulverizer, which works with wonderful beauty and precision. T-he clay is first dried, then ground by passing be tween heavy rollers, then screened or sifted, and passed into the machine in a uniform state, where it is subjected to the immense power of the machine, and a beautiful, per fect faced brick is produced, almost as smooth and dense as a polished marble. The bricks are taken from the machine and im mediately set in kilns ready for burning, thereby obviating the necessity of spread- ingjon the yard,to dry before burning, as well as injury or loss from wet weather. By this process a superior faced brick pan be pro duced/at less expense than the coamest common brick by the old method. Fearful Steamboat Explosion. The Buffalo Republican has some addi tional particulars of the explosion of the steamer Glencoe, at St. Louis. It says t “A later despatch informs us that not less than one hundred and fifty lives have been lost by this awful calamity. The- scene is f described as heart-rending in the extreme. When the explosion took place the boat was completely rent assunder, and human bpdies, mangled and whole; and pieces of the wreck, flew up a great height in the air. ° “Numbers were seen struggling in the water for a few instants, whose wounds were such that they soon sunk to more. nse no “The passengers and crews on the other boats at the landing crowded to the sides of their vessels ip order to see the arrival of the ill-feted Glencoe. Many of them were killed, and a great number terribly injured.
