O’ We see by the Charleston papers that the election of Tax Collector has again been protested—on the grounds of illegal votes— open houses for entertainment of voters —un- fairmeans used duringtheelecliun-discrepan cv between the number of votes polled and those counted—and that the result of the election was declared on the wrong day. ID* Book a of sub cription to the extension stock of the Central Rail Road to Columbus, are to be opened on the third Monday in February, next in Columbus, Macon and Sa vannah, under the provisions of the act of the General Assembly,passed Dec. 27, 1815. Arrest. The Savannah Georgian of the 19th inst says—“A man, believed to be a Portuguese ’ with the assumed name of James Smith, was arrested on Thursday last at St. Marys, on complaint of Mr. Win. VV . Oates, on whom he palmed a one dollar bill of the Planters, Bank, altered to the denomination of ten dol lars, while on a trip in theJVVin. Gascon from Jacksonville to St. Marys. Ho we searched and four bills were found about bis person— cue of two dollars altered to S2O, and three of one altered to ten. He was fully com mitted, and we learn appears to he an old offender.” A Massachusetts lady sent the following toast to the celebration of the New England Society at Chicago:—“Benjamin Franklin and Professor Morse—Sons of the Old Bay State—the one drew the lightning from heav en; the other gave it voice and bade it speak to the world.” liiiliaa Depredation* iu Florid '. A letter in tiie Tallahassee Sentinel da ted at Mellonville, E. F., D«?c. 19th, makes mention of a number of depredations which have recently been made in Florida by the Indians. Large stocks of cattle had been driven nIT, and other depredations committed which usually' forerun an outbreak. The editor of the Sentinel remarks that “the Government should not suffer itself to be misled by ollicial reports that the Indians keep within tneir bounds; unless something effectual is done to insure tranquillity, there is great reason to apprehend trouble on the liontier.'’ We learn, says the New Orleans JeCerson ian, through a gentleman just from Texas, that Dr.J. G. Chalmers (he brolherof the Senator from Mississippi,) was killed in Austin,, the capital of Texas, about ten days since, by a Mr. Holden. The difficulty grew’ out of a dispute in relation to some property, when the Dr. drew his pistol. Mr. Holden, with his knife, inflicted a wound which re sulted .n {lie instant death of Dr. Chalmers.

Cotton.— We left the Upland market on Friday last in a comparatively quiet state, in consequence of the high pretensions of holders; on Saturday, however, purchasers yielded, and the market at the close of business had fully recovered llie reduction which had been submitted ~tu a few days previous. On Monday, the transactions reached sum- 4300 bales steady prices. We are induced to believe that one or two parties were in possession of the advices from Savannah, published in our columns this morning, and hence the heavy operations of this day. Yes terday, however, ihe accounts became generally known, when holders immediately advanced their rales, and sales were effected at a full fc. advance on the quotations given in our report of’rhe 16th inst. The sales in the three days are as follows, viz.— Saturdya269o hales; Monday 4490; and yesterday 3300—-making an aggregate of 10,500 bales, at the following prices; 3S at'Ji; 158 at 91; 185 at 9i; 584 «t 91; 966 at9l; 701 at 9 15-16; 1359 at 10; 93 at 10 1-16; 1048 at 10*; 1873 at 10*; 12 at 10 5-16; 323 at 101; 18 at 10 7-16; 1593 at lUi ; 100 at 10 9-16; 356 at 103; Tlf? at 10}; 73 at 10}; and 365 bales at Hr.

APALACHICOLA,Jan. 12.— Cotton.— The re ceipts during the past week amount to 10,694 hales, and tiie exports to 3.325. leaving the stock on hand, iucludingall on shipboard not cleared 29,020 bales, against 16,717 bales, same time last year. In our last weekly review, we noticed a light stock offering, in consequence of the very low stage of our ri\er, with sales of a lew hundred bales a day, the market full ic. higher than before the Cambria’s news; and factors but little disposed to sell unless at full prices. This state of things continued throughout Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the sales of the three days only amount ing to 313 bales, without any change in prices On Friday.several boats having previously arriv ed with full cargoes, the quantity of cotton offer ing was considerably augmented, and the sales on a somewhat larger scale, amounting to 600 hales. ‘Saturday there was a disposition maniiested by factors to meet buyers at a little lower figures on some grades, and the transactions reached 700 hales. Yesterday nothing scarcely done,only 112 hales having been disposed of. Ihe amount oi cotton offering is soil quite light, notwithstanding our receipts for the last week exceed 10.000 hales. Must of ihe recent arrivals are f >r shipment, hav ing been bought, a large portion, in Columhuson Northern Manufacturer’s account. V* Oh regard to prices, the principal sales have been at our last week’s quotations, with perhaps a little lower rales on some grades. We revise our quotations and make some slight alterations.

The market lias been very quiet throughout the week, though holders have maintained theiriull prices with much firmn *ss. The rates demanded have continued to keep English operators out of ihe ; market, and the business of ihe week has been ! confined chiefly to the demand from tiie eastern i manufacturers. Some snt- it lots have been taken fur the continent, and something has been done by way of local speculation. The sales were to a fair extent for the four first days of tlie week, but for the la-t two they have fallen off and are com paratively light. Tiie aggregate sales are 11.799 hales in daily transactions as follows: .Saturday | 1500, Monday 2500. Tuesday 2500, Wednesday | 2500, Thursday, 1500, and yesterday 1200. The latter part of the week stocks, which are large, I were more freely oflered, and a belter disposition ; to sell was man Tested by holders, without any ap parent realization in rates.

Sept, t, IS 1G Dear Sir: Ftic great attention awakeiieu by the introduction ofthe MAS 1 UUU.N COT EON into the United States, together with my earnest desire that it may succeed in promoting the interests of the Booth, may be- a suiikheru ex cuse for this communication. Fno seed were procured (as I suppose) near the northern extremity ofthe Cull of California, where there are extensive uninhabited regions, and where Cotton of various Kinds is sometimes found growing wild. Its transfer to Mississippi, therefore, (the same lat.t.ule) keeps ilsldl tails native climate. 1 hat you may not be imposed upon in the pur chase of seed, it is proper for you to know, tixot, with hut two stalks growing in 1842, its cultiva tion inJB44, had not extended beyond my (1 itt lation, exi cpt in u single instance in ray neigh borhood. In 18-15 it was raised by others. — But its valuable properties not then being gen eral, v known, it became much mixed and crossed, in many instances, with oilier cotton; and hence liie v ast quantities of mixed seed throughout t.ie country. And besides this, extensive frauds have been committed by Ihe sale of quite differ i ent kinds ol seed, as “Mastodon.” A large cora ! mission house in New Orleans has been e.xlen i s.vely engaged in this business, and many parts ofthe country have become lluoced with spurious set d. Should you wish to cultivate the Mastodon, you would do well to get seed that is genuine, and it is nearlv equally important that it bene t her ! mixed or crossed with other cotton. 1 WuU.d 1 also suggest the greatest care in keeping your seed pure. To prevent it Iron degenerating, plant in small quantities ot picked seed occasion ally, to use for seed. 1 have from the first taken tlie greatest possilje cared my seed,and have my present crop grow ing enlirel. Trom picked seel. 1 shall put up my seed crop carefully for sale, with my name on i each sack. They may be had in New Orleans l ot Buckner & Stanton and Hooper & Marye, in Mobile of Mouiclun A Tevell, and shall a:so i have agencies in the principal piaties in Alabama Georgia and Bouth Carolina. To secure my I seed it should be especially inquired for. The Mastodon should be cultivated precisely j as other cotton, except that it should have a lit tle more distance. The seed are very large and white. To obtain a high price for the cotton it I should be handled and ginned well. Bv taking the “Southern Cultivator,” Augus i ta, Ga , ?rl per annum, you may learn more upon j thisiuportant subject. Almost any ofthe South | t rii newspajH-rs -will bo ol value to you in this r. - I sped. Aliowmeto sav that mv brother, Vtajor | t\i. E. Abbey, of Co umbus, Miss., and Mr. id j F. Miller, of La., have, I believe, taken great pains in preserving the purity of their Mastodon Cotton see l. By noting these remarks and circulating them among vour friends, vuu wilt promote tile inter ests oi cotton growers, and oblige vours. r speet luliy, R. ABBEY MASTODON COTTON.-From the fol -1 -wing litter from one ofthe oldest and largest Commission Houses in Europe, it wi I be seen that the wellginned Mastodon Cotton wasworth in L.i erpuol, at tile lime the letter was written, i from Hi to 20 cents a pound. 1 tie Cotton the ; letter speaks ot was ginned on the common gins. Jt is now settled beyond question, that an arti ele worth double the price of our common Colton, may be raised any where in the Colton reigion, without any additional expense or labor. In selecting seed, care should be taken to get that which is pure, as much of it is mixed with other seed. Mastodon seed are all iarge and while. LI VERPOOL, Vm . t. 3,1840. /i. Abbey. Esq., Yazoo < ify, JSli : Sir VVe regret that in reply to four favor of August sth, we can give little satisfactory mfor- 1 motion as to t ie uses ot Mastodon Cotton in onr manufactories. Even had a sufficient qunn ity i | gone into consumption, which there has not, the I manufacturers would carefully cunceiffthe uses to | to w.dolt they pul it, and its -alue to them. Ofthe quality and value of the Cotton in. onr market, we can gwe a strong and decided opin- ; ion. W e think its length and strength and siUi ness of staple place it next below Sea Island Cot ton, from w hich it presents no marked point of : difference, when net injured by ginning. This is a most important point, because saw ginned Sea Island does not rank high in this market, ow ing to the staple being cut. The writer believes that he has seen rverv parcel of Mastodon cotton in the Liverpool mar ket. Fur some 10tl is asked. We sold two bales, dull in color, at Bd, and a rather large su.c was made early in the season at 8£ or Oil. Had we 100 bales of similar quality to the small bale of Mr. W. H. Mercer, we {should ask iOd. and we have no doubt a sale might he made readilv at Dtl. But you must bear in mind the parcels of a bale or two are difficult to place, tire buyer mak ing rather a favor of taking them. The principal points to attend to are first, fine ness, length and comparative strength of staple, which must not he injured hy over-ginning or working the gin too fa-t, which converts valua ble cotton into a broken mass of fibres, expensive to separate and involving the loss of halt the Cot ton. Next to this, a fine pink bloom is desirable, not too much ofthe cream color, and a degree of | oilmess in the quality of the cotton, making the sample silky. These points attained, the Cotton would only be inferior to the higher qualities of Sea Islands. We remain von obedient servants, GEO. GREEN & SON. Jan.
