Monday.—Heard Jim was out for a week’s tour in the country —with his bottle along; he’s going from house to house, and putting 'em all straight on his side—he’s up to all manner of tricks —I must be off to-morrow nnd figure a little too, or I’m a gone goose, as the Raying’is. Tuesday.—Fill’d my tick Jet and started for a border settlement where I wus’nt much known—rode twelve miles to get to a field of operations—came to a snug looking cabin, and thought I’d make a venture —tied my horse to a swinging limb, and in getting down smash went the bottle against the saddle, and out came the contents in a hurry. Here was a case, but I pulled out the wreck of the tickler; squeez’d the whisky out of my coat tail, and made for the house. I found nobody at home but a “lone ’oraan,” and being a bashful sort of a man, I felt sheer'd —but I took a seat — told her ’twas fine weather —good for craps, and so on, which did’nt seem to be much news to her—and I was about to inquire for the “man of the house” when she look’d round the room very suspiciously, turned up her nose with a snuff, then peep’d under the bed where the dog was quietly dozing, and the way she us’d the broom on old Jowler was a caution —“Drot the dog,” says she, “he was out ’possum huntin’ last night, and must have run foul of a pole-cat —I despise the nasty varmints —they smell so much like poor corn whisky, and ever since raa and the old man jind the temperance, I can’t bear the smell of it” —(I guess I tuck’d my coat tail out of sight.') She talk’d on so fast I could’nt put in a word, till all at once she look’d mo right sharp in the face—“l reckon, stranger, ycu don’t live in these parts; what mought your name her” My name is Martin, says I, and I had’nt time to say another word before she broke in—“ Well, I hope you aint kin to Judge Martin, who lives down to the Court. House— the candidate —for he’s about the meanest man in all creation —he usen’d to belong to the temperance, but he broke the pledge just to get an office, and he wont get it no how— my old man says he would’nt vote for him if he’d give him his whole store. They say he’s giving away lots and cords of his goods, and going every body’s security, just to get votes, and I reckon ’twont be long ’fore he'll burst up, and no matter —the worst of it is, he goes round the country treating every body, and all the chaps that love liquor and don’t love work, follow him round, and its fine times for them. There’s old Downy, who lives just over the branch there, has’nt struck a lick since the electioneering began, and last Saturday night he came home drunk and run his wife off be cause she would’nt get his supper, when there was’nt a bit of meat or meal in the house; and they do say the old Judge gets pretty well corn’d himself, and I should’nt wonder if he died a drunkard yet.” I began to feel dread ful oneasg, for a candidate’s character is awful bad, and I see mine was all coming out if I’d stay to hear it—so I started up and told her I was iu, a mighty burry—if she’d put me in the road to Tennessee I’d be going—when she gave me the directions, I back’d out of the door, took the offending part of my coat tail on, my arm, and kinder whistled myself out of the gate and was off. I went a pretty good streak before I stopt, for fear the old lady would hear of me. When I call’d again I found only - women and children, but I had heard wise folks say, praise the children and you’ll please the mothers —please the mothers and the daddys will vote for you, so I struck at the root this time —thought the; boys and girls were very handsome and very precocious—almost prodigies and so on, till the mother smiled on me very kindly—one half grown girl in particular I considered on eommon smart, and inquired her age—oh, la, says she ,1 never remembers their ages exactly, but my darter Peggy there was born about Peach time, I think I made a decided impres sion there and the old lady will vote—that is, her husband will vote for me. I next came to a log pen at a cross road and I discover’d a shingle sticking out and on it was scratched with a coal w I e.* Well thought I here’s one of Neal’s “Charcoal Sketches” come out South. I found some voters inside the pen, waiting for a candidate, I suppose, so I call’d for some of the “knock knee” and we had a right jovial time—all seem’d to be warm friends. The doggery man whimpered to me that I would get all the votes about there —he was going his death for me —had put out a quart the day before to keep me ahead — mark’d it up on the slate, but I need’nt pay for it then—be more wanted along, and I could pay for it altogether after the election—thought he was a fine fellow and a good loco, but a friend told me afterwards that he heard him hand out the same talk to Jim, and he believed he was a rank whig. As it was near sunset they gave me directions to a good old Demo, where I could stay all night. I expect I was pretty Jail and did’nt care much about roads at first, but when I come to think about it, it seem’d a dreadful long one to squire Ilapgoods. The old follow had been sick, and alter’d so'inuch I did’nt hardly know him, and he was’nt so HVUwkj, •• glad to see me as I expected —thought he was rather shy—when I tried to introduce politics, he kinder waiv’d the subject and would talk about Corn and Cotton, and all sorts of agricul ture. I begun to think he had heard some bad reports on me (as there was plenty open) but I determin’d to bring him to the point before I left, and next morning as I was about start ing—“well squire,” says I, “you’ll be at the | 1 oils election day, I suppose, to give your old i friends a lift”—“yes, says he, I’ve voted for j Colonel Green seven years hand running and | I’ll not desart him while he holds out a good j whig—Colonel who? says I, and I began to I smell a rat. AY hy Colonel Green—he’s our I candidate up here in I3uncom.be—you’re over the line judge, two miles at least. I was so much confounded that I hardly said good bye, but I had’nt got far before he call’d to me to lot me know I had’nt paid my bill. I steer’d pretty straight homeward, thinking I had bet ter study Geography a spell before I took ano ther trip. Saturday.—Had to try one more Justices Court, tho’ I was getting pretty sick of ’em— found a great gathering of the independent voters —reckon they intend to improve their time as the campaign is winding up—they pour’d down the liquor as though they were ! drinking in advance for the next two years— had to go on tick, for my money was out— seemed to me it took more than usual to get them gorg’d. ’Twas dark before Jim and I could leave, they were all so friendly,—did’nt like to part with us. AVe jogg’d homeward ; very sociable till I touch’d on politics a little, | then Jim got ril'd pretty quick—said I was a 1 Yankee from a little beyond the ncrard—o. AVebster and Adams man. I told him he was under a small mistake, for Adams and AVeb- | ster belong’d to his party, or rather his party | belong’d to them, for Mr. Berrien contracted it over to ’em when he was down there in Boston. How he let out then —he rais’d him self in his stirrups just by hard swearing,— | call’d me all sorts of hard names, and finally said if I would light right there, he’d tail my hide till it would’nt hold shucks. Xow I’ve no courage to boast of, but my dander riz a little, i and down I came and he too —and there we | was by our lone selves, in tho Avoods, and in the ) I dark, toe to toe —in pugilistic attitude. Noav ; i come on,says I, give the first lick—you strike first says he —and then we parley’d as to Avho | | should give the first blow, and if we’d only 1 had a feAv friends to hold us back, avc should i have kick’d up a terrible dust—but I reckon avc botb thought our situation rather peculiar, for supposing one should bo putting tethers eye out, Avho Avas to part us? “Discretion got ; the better part of valour” not that avo hack'd out, but we agreed to.meet in a more gentle manly combat. AVe had an unsocial ride the rest of the way—Jim Avas puzzled with what I said about AVebstcr, and I could hear him soliloquize—“AYhat, the AA'hig party cheek by joAvl Avith Hartford Conventionites and blue light federalists, that Avcro traitors to their country when we were battles!— its a rank lie Bill." Back wood’s Candidate. The Sugar Crop — Rolling Begun. —A corres pondent from Ascension, under date Sep. 21st, complains that the heavy equinoctial rains and storms haA’e someAvhat injured the Sugar in that vicinity by beating it down. He con tinues: Eds. Della —Do you remember in my last I was tolling you of the planters in those parts who commenced making Sugar on the 20th September, two years ago. Well, he was called a fool for his pains. Whether wrongfully or j not, I AA'ill not venture to say; at any rate, if he Avas one, there are still some of the same genus in the land of the li\-ing, as one of them, in this neighborhood, commenced rolling yes terday, and made three hogsheads of Sugar; by-the-by, a very good article, which you will j probably see in your market some time next Avhich The yield, it appears, Avas very scanty —being only about five hundredjiounds to the acre. — N. O. Delta, 30 th inst. Colton and Corn Crops. —A subscriber writes us, from Greene county, Ala., (Sept. 22,) that the continued rains, with the early appearance of the boll-worm, have injured considerably the cotton crop in Greene, Marengo, Pickens and Sumter counties, Alabama, and also in tho adjoining counties of Noxubee, and Lowndes, in Mississippi, In the county of Lincoln and in the Courtland Valley, Tennessee, the plant is said to be loaded down AA-ith bolls, and if not affected by the rains, promises a handsome yield. The corn, throughout the whole coun try, is uncommonly promising, and the quanti ty sufficient, if it be necessary, to feed again the Avhole of Europe.— lb. The plan of the AVasliington monument, contemplated to be erected in the city of Xcav York, has been finally adopted, and is thus described in a letter published in the National Intelligencer: The material of the structure is to be gran ite, and the style of the architecture principally Grecian. The form Avill be a pentagon, rising to the height of four hundred and fifty feet, diA'ided into six unequal sections, diminishing in diameter one above the other. The monu ment rests upon a terrace 158 feet in diameter and 13 feet high. The base of the monument is 68 feet in diameter. The rotundo in the first section is 40 feet in diameter and 67 feet in height. The rotundo in the second section is 40 feet in diameter and 88 feet in height. The third section has a rotundo of 36 by 8-5 feet. The fourth section rises 99 feet, the fifth 52 feet, and the sixth and last 50 feet. The Avhole to be surmounted by a statue of AVash ington twenty feet in height. Each section is ornamented with buttresses, cornice, and bul ustrade. Around the rotundo in the first sec tion are fiA-e rooms, occupying the pentagonal projections, each 25 feet square and 54 feet in height, to be reached by spiral staircases from the rotundo, AA'hich also continues up to the second section. These rooms are designed, one for the use of the trustees, one for a regis try of the names of contributors to the monu ment, one for the registry of the names of the Adsiters, and tAvo for a library of works and documents having reference to the revolution. In the second section is the grand monu mental rotundo, which is to contain a statue of AVasliington, surrounded by statues of his major generals, and his foreign allies Avho dis tinguished themselves during the Avar of the revolution, and a A'acant pedestal inscribed Avith the name of the traitor Arnold. The third section is divided into six stories, the rooms of which may be deA’oted to the uses of artists and other purposes. The fourth section is divided into eight stories, and the filth section into five stories. The sixth sec tion, Avhich is ascended by a single spiral stair way> has a gallery at the top 15 feet in diame ter. i ... ' ‘X• ’ i * ~ f ft Augusta, ©corgia. WEDNESDAY MORNING.

We should like to know the author of it. He certainly was never the guiding spirit of anv nation that was cither free or worthy of frce j c l° m * It is founded neither in wisdom, policy !or common sense. Any nation that would [ submit to the guidance of such a maxim, I would deserve to be enslaved, and its fate j should not excite the commiseration of an hongrable mind. The maxim reeks of pusil- I lanimity. It is revolting te every proper fcel j ing of manhood and every prompting of j patriotism. Peace is a blessing; but it I O » would be dearly purchased, if its price is submission to injustice. War is a calamity; but ton thousand times rather lot its red | bolts shower down in relentless fury upon a proud and brave people—let it overwhelm them with fire and sword, and pestilence— sooner than that they should tamely submit to acknowledged injustice. Our forefathers could have purchased peace—au inglorious, degrad ing peace, by submitting to the injustice of taxation—taxation not onerous in amount, ; but most grevious in principle. But in the spirit of him who exclaimed, “millions fop. DEFENCE, NOT A CENT FOR TRIBUTE,” — they tOSC up against the injustice, expelled their arro gant oppressors from cur country, and achiev ed our country’s independence. Let it never be written in history that their descendants became so degenerate that the maxim obtain ed among them, “ Wisdom prefers an unjust poace to a just war.” Away with such wis i dom. It is the wisdom of the degraded serf, or the not less degraded votary of pleasure, whom luxury and sloth have enervated—such as were the Romans when they hired foreism ers to do their fighting-, while they revelled in inglorious ease, or submitted to the dictation of the Prctorian cohorts rather than, assert ; their rigths as citizens. Ihc application of this wise maxim to the war with Mexico will never bo tolerated. Ours ,*3 a proud and martial people. They will never tolerate injustice from any nation for the sake of peace. Thcir’s is the maxim of the great Andrew Jackson : “They demand nothing but tchat is riyht. They will submit to nothin'/ that is wrnswf.” They believe they have suf fered wrong from Moxieo. They are “involv ed by the act of Mexico in an unjust war. They will obtain from her full justice ftnd in demnity before they will coil Sent to peace.— They will never acknowledge the wisdom of ian unjust peace. It is not the wisdom that has ever governed the Anglo-Saxon race. Now JPSaita. The Washington Union of 2d inst. says— “We are gratified to learn at the Department this evening, that the difficulties which hue existed for some time between the Post Office Department and the steamboat and railroad | companies between New York and Springfield, Mass., have to-day been adjusted, and the ser vice on both routes given to the railroad com pany, which undertakes to perform the old service for the some pay as existed prior to the commencement of the dispute between the Dapartmcnt and the steamboat company. We understand that contracts have been regularly executed for the sendee. The public nc*d not, therefore, apprehend any further def»d gement of mail service on this line, until sifter the present ends, on the Ist July, 1849.” Mr. Webster addressed the Whig Cod*en_ tion at Springfield at considerable length, in review of the war and political events of the day. In the course of his speech, he made this declaration ? I never have, I never shall, I never will vote for any further annexation to ( this coun try with a slave representation upon it or in it. Ag*c3 of Statesmen. Os our distinguished public men, John Quin cy Adams, bom in 17G7, is the Nestor. Ho is 80 years of age. Henry Clay comes next, being 70 years old on the 15th of April. Mar tin Van Buren, R. M. Johnson, J. C. Calhoun, Lewis Cass, and Daniel Webster, singularly enough, were all born in 1782, and of course are 75 years of ago. Tyler is 8 years younger —born in 1790. Polk is about the same ago. Dallas 2 years younger yet, born in 1793. General Taylor is nearly 60. The rest of our prominent men are generally younger by years. The Ddackerel Fisheries. The catch of mackerel thus far, this season, i says the Gloucester Telegraph, has been small in comparison with that of the two past years The number of barrels taken on this coast has greatly diminished, and the prospects being so unfavorable, many of our vessels have gone to the Bay of Chaleur. The fares that arrive at this port are readily sold at good prices as soon as landed, and immediately shipped to the great markets of New York and Philadel phia. The last sains here have been for No. I*B, from $lO to $11; No. 2’s from $G to $7. Launched- The new steamer Hermann was launched at New York on Thursday, in fine style, The steamship “Northerner,” recently built at New York, to run in connection with the “Southerner,” forming with her a weekly line between Charleston and Xcw York, — made a trial excursion on Wednesday. She ran a distance of sixteen miles in sixty-two minutes, most of the time under a pressure of 18 to 21 pounds of steam, and performing 16 revolutions per minute. She arrived at Charleston, yesterday morn- ! ing, with a large number of passengers. j AUGUSTA WHOLESALE PRICES CURRENT, OCTOBER 6, 18 47. ' ARTICLES. Per. Wholesale. | Duty. \' ARTICLES. Per.

We sec, in the correspondence of the Pitts burg Oaactte, dated at Cambridge, Ohio, Sept. 19, that on the Tuesday previous, a mob gath ered in front of the office of “The Clarion of Freedom,” an abolition paper, printed in that place by M. R. Hall, and stoned and egged it far nearly a whole night The cause of the mob was offensive epithets used by the editor towards citizens of the place. On the evening before that alluded to* a 4ght occurred an abolitionist and one of thd citizens —a crowd gathered—and the belligerents were parted, repaired to the office and committed the outrage above named. On the following morning, (Thursday) the cry was raised of “pack up the press and type and send it off,” which would have been done had not the abolitionists interfered and called for a suspension of hostilities. The result of it was, that Hall should re move with his press from the village. Dur ing the armistice; Mr. Hall had a rencontre with one of our citizens, in which he was de feated, and somewhat wounded in the face.— The press, type, editor, &c., are now located (adds the writer) on the National Hoad, miles west of Cambridge. Bishop Ouicrdonk. The New York correspondent of the Phila delphia Sun, referring to the Episcopal Con vention, says : A caucus of High Churchmen has been held, and it has been determined to got at the Bishop question. It is the intention to j)ro pose to take measures to procure the repeal of the canon under which the Bishop is sus pended and to enact another, that does not re cognize indefinite suspension. Tliis will be moved by John C. Spencer, and 1 we shall have a stormy time no doubt, as he is one of the ablest men in the country, but he will meet opposition of the noblest kind. imjuj—■— i. mum imammmrmmmmmmmmmßMmmmmm&mmmmmmmmmmm FUNERAL.

We arc also frequently conscious of the presence of dis ease unattended by its usually starting symptoms. 1 But there is no telling how soon the diffused elec tricity may be concentrated in a fatal flash, or the incipient malady may reach a deadly crisis. It is not well to neglect eruptions, ulcers, swellings, swelling in the glands, &-c. &c., on the ground that they are trifles. They end in agony and death; and as Sands’ Sarsaparilla is an acknowledged rem edy for these symptoms, and for all sanguineus dis eases, it is little less than sporting with danger to 1 neglect its early use in all such cases. For farther particulars and conclusive evidence of its superior value and efficacy, see pamphlets, which may be obtained of agents, gratis. Prej ared and sold, wholesale and retail, A. B. & D.

CAUTION—.In setting forth the virtues’of Dr. Wistar's Balsam, we have no desire to deceive those who are laboring under affliction, nor do we wish to eulogize it more than it justly deserves. Vet when wc look around and see the vast amount of suffering and distress occasioned by many of the ; diseases in which this medicine has proved so high ly successful, we feel that we cannot urge its claims too strongly, or say too much in its favor. Let the public be bn their guard. Other“ Balsams” and mixtures are sometimes imposed on the unsus pecting for the genuine Dr. Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry. Some -for the purpose of succeeding better in their schemes,have used a part of the name of the genuine, as “Phoenix Balsam of Wild Cher ry f “Balsam of3Wild Cherry, Comfrey,” &c.” “Syrup of Wild Cherry.” None genuine-unless-signed I.

Oct. 6 lc Commercial, LATEST DATES FROM LIVERPOOL SEPT. 4 LATEST DATES FROM HAVRJ SEPT. 5 Augusta Market, Oct. 6. COTTON.—Since our review of 30th ult. we have had a quiet Cotton market, the sales being confined most -1 ly to new Cotton. Old is but little enquired for, and the lower qualities are full \ cent cheaper than the same qualities of new, while the better grades, being scarce, | command full prices. At this time buyers are demand ing and obtaining a wide difference in the price of Cotton 1 in round hales—they purchase and readily pay half a cent I more fur the same description of Cotton in square than in round bales, and unless holders meet them at this re duction, they will not touch a round bale. This differ ence is greater than w r e ever before knew it to be—Jc. difference lias generally been the standard. We notice this fact thus early to again call the attention of planters to the importance to them of packing their Cotton in square bales —\ cent per lb. difference in price, will i nearly if not quite pay all expenses incurred in getting the article to market, and those who look to their intcr ; eats will discontinue sending Cotton to market in round bales. As regards the growing crop, the weather for ' the past three weeks has been all that could be asked In this section, and during that time we have heard less complaint. The sales of the week from warehouses sum up about 4f>o bales, nearly all new, at the following | prices—3 at 10, 17 at 10J, 11 at lOJ, 108 at lOf, 30 at 103, 10 at 10 15-16, 35at lOJ T 156 at 11,36 at 11J, 18 at 113-16, and 12 at IQ cents. We quote for square bales (round I selling from § a cent less.)

The stocks of our merchants are full and well assorted, and ever}’ day makes addi tions to it. There is a good supply of Sugar, Coffee and Molasses on hand, and our quotations will give a fair range of the market FLOUR.—Stock of country large—demand limited, and confined to the better grades. Common is selling at $3 a per bbl. and extra at $6. BACON.—Stock light and demand good. Sales tins week of a lot of 6000 lbs Sides at 9 cents cash. CORN.—There have been some purchases this week for the Charleston market at 59 a 52c. for sacks. At the present moment there is but little tor sale in this market. BAGGING and ROPE,—We have no change to no tice in the price of Bagging— business confined principal ly to supplying small country orders. Rope is getting scarce, and prices have an upward tendency. SALT.—Good supply on hand. Loose is retailing from stores at 45 a 59 cts. per bushel, and sacks at a $1,75 per sack.
