Trial of Lieut- Col Fremont-
The Court Martial for the trial of Lieut. Col.
Fremont met at Washington on Tuesday last,
and after organizing, adjourned Until next
day. The National Intelligencer contains fuU
reports of each day’s proceedings, but we arc
compelled to substitute for them the follow
ing concise statement of the correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun:
The charges against Lieut. Col. Fremont
grow entirely out of the conflicting jurisdic
tion between Commodore Stockton and Gen
eral Kearny. Lieut. Col. Fremont was placed
in such a position that he must necessarily ac
knowledge the authority either of one or the
other commander, and, if obeying one, incur
the charge of insubordination from the other;
he declined a decision of the question, and
left it to the two commanders to settle their
differences without his aid.
For refusing obedience to the orders of Gen
eral Kearny on an occasion which occurred at
Los Angelos, on the 14th of January, 1817,
Lieut. Col. Fremont was charged by General
Kearny with insubordination. Lt. Col. Fre
mont offers to prove, in his defence, that it
was not incumbent upon him to decide the
question of authority between the two com
manders; and he further offers to prove that
Gen. Kearny’s motives in this prosecution arc
malicious, as shown by General Kearny’s con
duct towards him for G months and 21 days,
and in a march of 8,000 miles in California.
Lieut. Col. Fremont, having waived all ob
jection to the publieati n of the testimony, as
it is taken from day to day, reporters are per
mitted to take notes of the trial.
Magnetic Telegraph.
We stated a few days since, (says the Now
Orleans Picayune,) that the line from Mobile
to this city, would be completed in a few days.
It appears, however, that our statement is cor
rect only so far as it relates to the completion
■of the posts and the heavy masts at tire Itigo
lets, but some weeks may elapse before the
line will be completed. The wires arc put up
from Mobile westward to the Pascagoula river.
The posts are mostly erected through the
whole length of the line, frova hence to Peters
burg, with the branches to Charleston and
Savannah —in ail some thirteen hundred miles
—and the wires are being put up through the
Carolinas, towards Charleston. The registers
and batteries arc put up in Charleston, Colum
bia, Camden, Fayetteville and Raleigh, and i
the operators are in readiness at those places.
If an additional supply of the iron cord is re
ceived here from New York in season, the
line may be put in operation from here to Mo
bile soon after the first of December. When
it is remembered that all this has been done
since June last, and during such a summer as
that just past, we arc not disposed to show any
impatience, though it Is so desirable to see this
great work consummated.
The New Orleans Delta, says—“ Col. Jeffer
son Davis, we regret to find, is still indisposed.
Hisjwound still keeps him a cripple,and several
attacks of fevar during the summer have kept
him feeble. lie will shortly proceed to Wash
ington, however, to attend his senatorial du
ties. The travel, is in hoped, will improve his
health.”
Lieutenant Lonjpstrcct.
The following account of the gallantry of
thft young Georgian, we find in the Charles
ton Mercury, extracted from a letter from an
officer of the 2nd? Dragoons, to a gentleman in
Charleston:
“The South Carolina Regiment behaved
with distinguished gallantry atChapultepec. In
the former they suffered terribly, losing onc
third of their number, and very severely also in
the latter, so that now, out of the nine hun
dred men, who composed the Regiment when
it left Charleston, it can muster but about
eighty or ninety. I should say,though,that sick
ness at Puebla had reduced them more than
half before we left that city. S. Sumter was
wounded at Churubusco, but is rapidly regain
ing his health. I take great pleasure in rela
ting an account of an exploit of our friend
Longstrcct, who highly distinguished himself
nt the tote du j)ont at Churubusco. This work
was very strong, and its guns were served by
the deserters from our army, who fought with
the energy of despair, whilst a hail storm of
musket balls poured upon our columns from
all parts of the parapet, from the fortified
church near by, and from the banks of the ca
nal. This terrific fire drove back a regiment
in confusion upon the Bth Infantry, (Long
street’s,) and it also began to waver, when L.
seized the regimental colors, and accompanied
by another officer, (Captain Bomford) rushed
forward, calling upon the brave men to follow
their standard. The men cheered by this
courageous act, rushed with a shout upon the
Ute du pout. Longstreet, still bearing the
colors, ran in advance of all to the very ditch of
the work; it was full of water, but he plunged
in, crossed it, and diming the embankment,
planted his standard on the fort, which his
bold act had caused all to fly from, save the
deserters, who fearing, if they ran, they would
be shot by the Mexicans, stood their ground
to the last, and all of them (about eighty)
•Wore made prisoners, L. was badly wounded
in approaching the city on the 13th, but ho is
recovering rapidly. Hill was in the storming
party at Chapultepoc, but came off unhurt.—
Thomas, Brown, Judd, and Austine arc safe
and well. I was completely worn down be
fore we entered the city. For the last month,
in fact, ever since we left Puebla, it would
not bo an exaggeration to say, that we have
been constantly in the saddle.”

Washington, Rappahannock Co., Va., )
May £G, 131 G. j
Dr. D. Jayne- —Dear Sir .—-Our Mr. Jones has
been in a very bail state of health for more than a
year ; he has had the benefit of the best medical
advice our country affords, and also visited your
city during last summer, but found no relief. On
the 15th of April last, we purchased half dozen
bottles of your TONIC VERMIFUGE, and half
a dozen bottles of SANATIVE PILLS. Through
carelessness in packing the articles in a drygoods |
box, one half the Vermifuge was broken. Mr.
Jones commenced with the Pills, and after taking
a few doses, felt a decided improvement. The
three bottles of Vermifuge, which came safe to
hand, brought from him, he thinks, not less than
one thousand worms, and perhaps many more. He
is now in belter health than he has been in for
years, and we hope a few more bottles of your Ver
mifuge and Pills, will clfect a permanent cure.
All our physicians have entirely mistaken his ease,
Prof. Samuel Jackson, of yonr city, at the head.
Mr. Jones is most anxious to get more of your Pills
and Vermifuge as soon as possible.
Respectfully, J. B. JONES &. CO.

Sand’s Sarsaparilla-
The deaths from Small Pox in London arc about
300 per annum, though when the population was
one-fourth less they exceeded 5,000. This w r as
before Vaccination was practiced. If the statistics
of ulcerous and eruptive diseases in this country
could be ascertained, before and since the intro
duction of Sand’s Sarsaparilla, a material difference
would probably be presented, lor it is a fact Avhich
no one not disposed to impugn the most veracious
testimony Avill dispute; that thousands of cases of
Scrofula and other maladies affecting the skin and
fleshy fibre, have been eradicated by the use of it;
and then too when the old remedies (so called)
have been tried in vain.

Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry-
Baskenkihge, N. J., Oct. 10, 1845.
Mr. Seth W, Fowle, Boston ;
Dear Sir: —I perceive by all the newspapers,
that you arc the General Agent of that very use
ful and highly popular Medicine culled Wistar’s
Balsam ol Wild Cherry. Allow me to inform you,
sir, that I have used that medicine in my r family
with decided success. Last fall my wife was quite
sick ; had a very bad cough. 1 consulted a physi
cian who visited her and prescribed some medi
cine, which did not remove her cough. At last he
ordered Dr. Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry. 1
immediately procured a bottle of your agent in
this place, Mr. Daniel W. Defy ; she took it, and
it eared her cough entirely. During the winter I
had a fever myself, which left me very weak and
feeble ; I had a severe cough, which troubled me
some time. I had recourse to your Balsam again,
and found it highly beneficial; 1 was obliged, how
ever, to take two bottles before 1 was entirely well.
All who have bad colds, severe coughs, or diseased
lungs, I would advise to try DR. WISTAR’S BAL
SAM OF WILD CHERRY at once.

REMARKS.—Our planters have been favored with
the most propitious weather for gathering their crops,
and those vs bo were wishing for a late fall have it. as we
have not, np to this time, had sufficient frost to stop the
growth of the plant. The yield, however, will not be as
good as was expected under these circumstances, the
long spell of dry weather having been detrimental to the
maturing of the weed, and we have heard much com
plaint that the late bolls, from whU h much was expect
ed, are drying up on the stalks without filling out, for the
want of the necessary supply of sap. P.y a reference to
our tables it will be seen, that although there has been an
increase receipt at tlio Gulf ports, there has been a ma
terial falling off at the Atlantic ports, particularly at
Charleston and Savannah.

COTTON.—This has been the dullest week wc have
ever had to record in this market at this season of the
year. No one seems disposed to buy, and at present
prices there are hut few sellers. The total sales of the
week sum up only 462 bales, of which 121 were sold on
the 3d : 12 at 7J, 44 at 7J, G7 at 7£, and 21 at 7f, On the
4th, 130 bales : 49 at 7», 12 at 7j}, 38 at 7.*, 8 at 7|, and 4
at 7|. On the sth, 135 bales: 11 at 7J, Bat 7s, 36 at 7jj
59 at 7.V, and 21 at 7*. On the 6th, 30 bales: 3at7, Cat
7J, 16 at 7g,4 at 71, and 14 at 7|. On the Bth, 23 bales :
6at 61, 6at 7£, 7at 71, and 4at 7|, Yesterday only 13
bales were reported to us, 12 at 7j, and 1 at 7j, The
advices per French steamer came to hand per Telegraph
on Sunday evening, but it was only a day or two later
i from the Liverpool market, and as the British steamer
\yas daily looked for, the few purchasers 111 .market with- j
drew, or were offering such prices as holders would not
accept. The telegraphic advices per British steamer came
to band on Monday evening; they were very unsat sfacto
ry and obviously incorrect in quoting the higher grades
ofTTplands, so that both buyers and sellers yesterday
withdrew from the market, and the only transactions
from warehouses were the 13 bales noticed above. In
the present state of the market, it is impossible to give
anything like correct quotations, so we omit them alto
gether, with the remark that 7 cents was the highest
price we heard offered yesterday for fair, in square bales.
The receipts have fallen off’ during the past week and
this we must look for until prices take a turn for the
better.
Suwe the almve was in type we received a slip from
our correspondent the Charleston Courier office, in which
we find the following letter from Liverpool:
“LIVERPOOL, Oct. 18.—The intensity of the money
pressure and panic has farther increased since the de
parture of the last steamer, and farther commercial fail
ures have added to the gloom and difficulty. The stop
page of the “Royal Bank of Liverpool,” to-day, has cre
ated an extraordinary sensation, and for the moment,
paralized the local business of the port. The ultimate
solvency of this institution is beyond all question, but
the failure must create great temporary embarrassment
at this time of pressure. The quantity of Cotton press
ing on the market has continued greatly to exceed tfe
demand, and at the close of the past week prices had far
ther sunk about Id per lb., but chiefly in the lower quali
ties. The quotations then were for fair Up’and and Mo
bile sjd and fair Orleans 6d; middlings a 5R and ordina
ry 4.t; but these rates were not obtainable in quantity,
and no doubt lower prices were submitted to for cash in
some instances.
“ The sales for the week ended 15th inst., amounted
to 91,700 bales, of which 3,990 were on speculation, and
1900 for export; on Saturday, the 16lh inst., the business
was about 2,000 bales, while to-day only about 1200 have
been sold, and those |d per lit. below the above quota
tions. Great gloom pervades the manufacturing dis
tricts, and each week adds to the number of mills short
time, or that are closed altogether.
“ The Corn markets arc of course influenced unfa
vorably by the extraordinary stringency in money mat
ters. Fresh sweet Flour is quoted 2is 6d to 26s 6d, the
latter being the highest rate for the best Western Canal,
and Indian Corn lias declined about 3s per quarter, the
top quotation lieing 32s for very prime, while the general
business is at from 27 to 30s per quarter for fair merchant
able parcels. Sour flour 19s to 225, and Indian Corn
Meal 14s per hbl. Occasional forced sales are made for
cash below these quotations.
BROWN, SHIPLEY & CO.”
GROCERIES Towards the close of the week there
was a little more demand for Groceries by wholesale,
and a fair business was transacted by wholesale dealers.
In the retail way, the business has been light. There is
at present an abundant supply of all descriptions of
Groceries—in fact we do not know that we ever saw the
stocks of our markets more full /«• better assorted, and
every arrival continues to add to it.
DRY GOODS.—The business this week has been
confined principally to the retail trade. We hope before
long to inform our readers of the establishment of one or
two large jobbing houses in this city. The subject, we
understand, is under serious consideration, and if carried
into effect w ill be by men who not only have the means,
but Hie judgment to enable them to compete w ith Mer
chants in that line, nut only in Charleston, but in New
York. With two or three such houses, our Merchants
would be able to stop much trade that now necessarily
centers at other points. In the Grocery line, Augusta
has no successful competition, and we cannot see why
the same cannot be made to bear in the Dry Goods line.
HARDWARE, &,c.—ln the Hardware line, Augusta
affurds a good market. We have several large houses
engaged in this business, who always keep on hand large
and well selected assortments, of their own importations.
CORN.—Supply of this article still light. There has
been a little more enquiry this week, but nearly all
brought to market is in wagons and on the cob, w hich
sells at 45 cents |»er bushel. Wc contiue to quote 45 a
50, the latter price for that put up in bags.
BAGGING.—There continues to be a good demand
for this article, but the sales are confined to supplying
country orders which are generally filled at prices rang
ing from 18 to 19 cents. Bale Rope is still scarce, and re
tailing from stores at 0\ a 10 cents.
FLOUR.—The demand is still confined to city wants.
Supply on hand good, and sales making in small lots at
prices ranging from s4.j to ss| per bid—the latter price
difficult to obtain unless for something very superior.
SALT.—Some additions have been made to the stock
on hand, but as the supply is still light, and in few’
hands, we have no change to notice in prices. Wc have
heard of the sale this week of about 1,500 sacks, deliv
erable at the wharf and at the South Carolina Rail Road
depot, at prices ranging from $1,60 to $1,62 per sack.
Loose Salt still continues to be retailed from store at
45 a 50 cents per bushel, and sack at $1,75.
BACON.—We have no large sales to report this week,
nor have we any change to notice in prices. Our quo
tations will give a fair index of the market.
With SUGAR, MOLASSES and COFFEE, the mar
ket is well supplied. Sales this week of about 50C bags
Cofffee, in lots, at prices ranging from 84 to 85 cents per
jH*imd.
EXCHANGE.—We have no change to notice this
week In the rates. But little Northern Exchange offering.
The Banks continue to check on New York at J percent
premium for Sight checks.
FREIGHTS—The river is still low, but as wc have
several light draft boats now on the river, they find no
difficulty in reaching the wharf with their low boats.
Little or no down freight offering, and we have no
change to notice in the rates, either by River or Railroad.

and attract ve Troupe of Equestrians, the proprie
tors have engaged SIGNOR FELIX CARLO,
the ITALIAN TRICK CLOWN, the “MAN OF
A THOUSAND TRICKS,” who made more fun
than all New York City could swallow! Signor

“The Lion among play-goers !” He has downed
in all the Languages spoken in Europe. He differs
from all other Clowns in not copying anything from
anybody else; in being always the best at any of
the Exercises going on in the Ring; his Panto
mimic performances and Grotesque 'Pricks are
truly astonishing. The Company will enter the

Grand Procession, preceded by a splendid Brass
Band seated in a magnificent Band Chariot, drawn
by Twelve beautiful cream colored Horses, driven
by James Carothcrs of Philadelphia. Particulars
