soli of Philadelphia, has accepted the invita
tion to deliver the annual Oration before the
“Phi-Kappa” and “Dbmosthenian” Societies

of Georgia, and the friends of the College.
The St. Louis Republican contains a letter j
from Council Grove, Santa Fe Trail, dated July
2, which states that a detachment of troops
under Lieut. Love, with a large sum 'in specie
for the pay of the volunteers in Santa Fe, had
been attacked by a body of 1500 Indians, led j
by Mexicans. Lieut. Love had had several I
encounters with the Indians on different days
—and that five of his men were killed and
four wounded —among the latter Sergeant
Bishop, 2nd in command. Twelve or thirteen
of the Indians are said to have been killed. A |
body of troops under Col. Easton was not far
distant, who, it was hoped, would be able to
render prompt assistance.
Eastern Potato Crop.
The crops are restored, and the presence of
an abundance of potatoes will reduce the want
for grain. Os this vegetable, that is a staple of
New England, arc what the Boston Adver
tier says:
“The farmers in Maine have been holding j
back their potatoes for higher prices, but the |
season getting late they are now crowding
them on the market, and the supply of com
mon ones is large, and very dull —25 a 30 cents
per bushel is the most that can be obtained. —
Chenangoes are worth 50 a6O cents The i
new crop promises well all over New England,
and as yet we hear of no appearance of rot.”
Magniloquence.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune
wishing to tell that a man had committed sui

from the effects of an enormous dose of laud
anum, which he purposely administered to
himself with fatally felonious intentions.”

[ Correspondence of the Baltimore Sn.u.j
By Blagnetic Telegraph.
NEW YORK, June 19, 6 P. M.—The effect of
the steamer’s news on the market for breadstuff’s
were partially developed to-day, and the shippers
are beginning to enter the market quite freely.
The sales of flour amount to 10,000 barrels, at $5
to $5 25 for Ohio and Machigan. #
There was considerable activity in corn, though
but little firmness. About 30,000 bushels of white
and yellow were sold at prices ranging from 55 for
i mixed, tool cts. per bushel for round yellow,
There is but little doing in rye. I uoet a sale of
1,000 bushels at 77 cents.
The eotton dealers are In fine spirits, and hare
been most agreeably disappointed. They calculat
ed that their staple would hold its own, but to-day
they demand an advance of a £ a g cents per pound
advance.
The Steamer Sarah Sands arrived this morning,
after a passage of 1G days, she having sailed from
Cork ou 3d inst. J.
NEW Li. — Couo/i. —Arrived
since the 9th instant, 2226 bales, Cleared in the
same time 14,485 bales—making a reduction in
stock of 12,259 bales, and leaving on hand, inclusive I
of all on shipboard not cleared on the loth instant,
a stock of 108,533 bales.
Our last weekly report left the Cotton market in
an exceedingly quiet state, the near approach of '
later European advices inclining parties to await i
i their receipt before entering into any operations of
1 much magnitude. The same quietude character
j ized the market on Saturday, only a few hundred
| bales having been disposed of, and on Monday the
mail came through, with a telegraphic despatch,
announcing the arrival of the Caledonia at Boston, j
and furnishing a brief summary of her news, which
appeared favorable for Cotton, though little or noth- i
log was done in this market, all parties being dis- j
posed to await the arrival of their private letters
and commercial circulars. These came to hand on j
Tuesday, and fully confirmed the telegraphic ad- |
vices, reporting an advance of in the Liverpool i
market. This intelligence being favorable, and
some orders appearing, business on Tuesday as- 1
sumed more activity, though it was somewhat
checked by the advanced claims of holders,
and about 3000 bales were disposed of. On Wed
nesday and Thursday buyers came forward more j
frt;ely, and fully 10,(KX) bales were disposed of, at
prices still more in favor of sellers, and the rates
paid exhibit an advance of a cent per ib. within
the past ten days, on the low and middling qualities
of Louisiana and Mississippi Cottons, to which de
scriptions, the demand has been almost exclusively
confined. About aJ a J of this advance has been
attained since the receipt of the Caledonia’s ad
vices. North Alabama Cottons have not improved
{ in the same ratio, and being comparatively neg
lected, the rates for them are in a great measure
nominal. The difficulty of procuring freight has
been an obstacle to even a more active business ,
j than we have recorded, and yesterday this irapedi- j
j raent brought the market almost to a stand, sales i
• to the extent of only about 1300 bales having been |
effected. There is a scarcity of vessels, and the
comparatively high rates paid for Flour and Grain i
! render it impossible to ship Cotton to any conside- I
rabie extent, even at some advance. The total
sales of the week sum up 15,200 bales, the bulk of
which has been taken for England, France and the
North.

TIMES.
HAVING been for four years the Editor of the
‘'Times,” the undersigned presumes that his
I readers and the Democratic Parly in Western
Georgia, whose political organ and agent he has
endeavored to he, are by this time sufficiently ac
; quainted with hint to know whether he is worthy
j of their confidence and support as a Democratic
! Editor. It is proper to say, that when I came into
the Editorial management of this paper, the estab
lishment was very much depressed in point of pros
perity. I saw at once that the paper was to be built
up de novo, before a hope could be entertained of its
; prosperity. Its subscription list, not so large by one
half as it should be, had run to weed, and was en
cumbered with many bad and doubtful names.—
; This required purgation and renovation. Confidence
in the stability and permanence of the paper had to
be established. In short the prestige ot its success
was all to be created by the exertions of myself and
partners. While we have done much towards the
accomplishment of the object, more remains to be
I done. And it becomes necessary for me to say to my
political friends, tb<t if they desire me to continue
at my present post, they must give such tokens of
that desire and their approbation as will ena
ble me to afford to do so. The present is deem
ed an auspicious time to present this subject
to my political friends. Tfie Governor’s elec
tion is at hand. Our candidate is of Western
Georgia, “born of the Manor,” and we should
take the lead in giving him a support that will ex
hibit, what we who know him best, think of him.
' Popular, able, and faithful to his political principles.
—George W. Towns offers - to his friends, at once,
! the strongest incentives to an active and earnest
support, and a cheering guarantee of his success.
To the attainment of important ends, means must
always be consulted. The press and the stump are
the engines of political enlightenment and the
means of success in the propagation and triumph
j of political principles. 1 believe I can unhesita
! tingly appeal to my course as a Democratic Editor,
as a proof of ray fidelity and single-hearted pur
pose to achieve the true honor and victorious suc
cess of Democratic principles. By what has pass
ed, 1 um willing to be judged for the future. With
renewed energy and rekindled enthusiasm in the
cause, I come forward to ask of the Democratic Par-*
ty, such encouragement, in the unequivocal shape
of a largely increased circulation, as will at the
same time enable me to feel that I am both useful
to my party, and true to myself and those depend- i
ant upon ray exertions, in the editorial profession
to which 1 am attached.
With these views, the following prospectus some
what varying from our usual terms is put forth,

COTTON GINS ! COTTON GINS ! !~
THE SUBSCRIBER would respectfully in*
form his friends and the public that he con
tinues to Manufacture: In Augusta, his celebra
ted COTTON GINS, which although not so
highly puffed in news paper advertisements as some
others, do their work equally as good, if not better.
He is willing to put his Gins in comparison with
any others made in the United States, and will war
rant all Gins sent from his shop to work and wear
well. j
As regards certificates, he could fill columns
with them, but would prefer that those in want of
a good Gin should’call on him personally, or by let
ter, in which case satisfactory and numerous re
ferences can be given.
He has been engaged in thebusiness some years,
and has never heard a complaiitt of work turned out
of his shop, from which circumstance he has come to
the conclusion that his Gins have given general
satisfaction, since their manufacture has been un
der his sole superintendence.
My terms for all New Gins are cash, before they
can leave the shop, or an approved endorsed note.
The price is Two Dollars per saw.
My shop is on Green street, two doors above -the
Baptist Church, where all orders will be thankful
ly received and promptly attended to.

Fourteen Dollars, meals included.
THE Chesapeake Bay Company, in conjunc
tion with the Wilmington arid Petersburg
Rail Road Companies, having reduced th<eir seve
ral fares one-third, from former rates, Travellers
going North, can now reach Baltimore for £l4, and
New York for £2O, by taking the Bay Line of
Boats, arriving at the latter city as early as by any
other Line, and with greater ease and comfort, as
the following Schedule will show.
SCHEDULE.
From Charleston to Baltimore, hr the well known
route, via Wilmington, Weldon, Petersburg, City
Point, Old Point Comfort, Norfolk, and by the Ches
‘ apeake Bay to Baltimore/ 1
Leave Charleston in one of the Wilmington and
( Raleigh Rail Road Company’s splendid Steamer#

8, A. M. Leave City Point immediately, on
1 board of the CL RTIS PECK. Capt. Davis; or
ALICE, Capt. Brough; (two Os the swiftest and
most comfortable River Boats; that run on the
Southern waters) for Norfolk, arriving at Norfolk
by P. M. Dining on board of boat at 10 o’clock,
for which no charge is made Leave Norfolk in one
of those popular, comfortable and safe Steam Boats,
with their experienced Captain and crews —
GEORGIA. Capt. Cannon; HERALD, Capt. Bus
sell; or JEWESS, Capt. Sutton; at 3, P.M., and
I arrive at Baltimore next morning at 5. A; M. Fare
i from Petersburg to Baltimore supper included, £4.
»ln the patting forth of the above Schedule,we have
been guided a id admonished by the knowledge ti e
j have of what other lines have already suffered irt
giving the Traveller false information respecting
their Schedule time, and have, to the best of our
knowledge and belief, made an average time of the
arrival and departure between Charleston and
Baltimore, by the Bay Route, for the last two
months, during which period there has not been a
single failure, by the Boat, to arrive at Baltimore
in time to take the Morning Train for Philadelphia
and the several Routes going North, South, East,
and West.
The Bay Company have beep in existance up
ward of Twenty Years,and through this long period;
their Boats, built expresslly for the route, have suc
j cessfully run without loss of Life or Property—
this fact alone, should, and we believe trill, be satis
factory' to the Travelling Public, that the Chcsa-
Eeak Bay Route is one of the safest in the whole
miou.
We were prepared and fully expected to meet
with strong opposition from the Monopoly Line, but
had hoped that the warfare would have been con
ducted in a busings? like and honorable war, and
that their Cards would have contained none of that
misrepresentation and false inuendoes with which
they are filled against the Bay Line. However, we
care not, knowing that we have the cheapest and
most pleasant route; pledging ourvelves to convey
the travelling public by our scheldule,we are willing
to abide the issue and leave the result to their
i choice.
j Any further information will be cheerfully given
and tickets can be had, by application to the" undef-
I signed at the Charleston Hotel.

Dr. Woodruff -.—Dear Sir: I take great plea

remove the disease or afford relief, and apprehen
j sions began to be felt by myself, that she would not
I survive much longer, under the intense agony in
i which she was laboring, I had recourse to your in
j valuable Cordial, and before she had taken one
bottle of it, relief was obtained; and after tr king
I two, was eutirely cured. I feel sure that lan in
debted to it, for her life. You can use this a* "Mi
