I. A TEST DATES FROM LIVERPOOL NOV. 4
LATEST DATES FROM HAVRE OCT. 31
CHARLESTON, Dec. Z. —Cotton and Rice. —
The market for both, was perfectly quiet yester
day, and without demand for either.' The weather
being unfavorable throughout the day, was proba- j
bly the chief cause of nothing being done in Rice, |
while there seems to be little or no disposition to
operate in Cotton.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 27.— Cotton. —Arrived
since the 23d inst., 11 ,-104 bales. Cleared in the
same time 11,390 bales—making an addition to
slock of 11 bales; aid leaving on hand, inchi sive 1
of all on shipboard not cleared on the 26th inst. j
a slock of 130,808 bales.
Our last report represented the Cotton market
a-> having becu Very active during the early part
of the week, with prices constantly advancing ;
from day today, until at the close of Tuesday they i
had recovered to within a small fraction of the j
position which they held on the receipt of the j
Ca edonia’s advices. On Wednesday, the period ;
having arrived when it was possible that the later
European accounts by the Acadia might be in by
express, most buyers withdrew, and the upward
tendency of tiie market was checked, the sales
being ah -ut 1200 bales, at easier rates than were
paid at the close ol Tuesday, though without any
marked decline. On Thursday there was scarce
ly anything done, only some few lots, amounting in
all to about 6(K) bales having been disposed of, and
those at rates decidedly in favor of buyers. Yes
terday the market was completely at a stand, only
a single sale of 400 bales having occurred, so far
as we could learn, and the price of this lot was
suppress d. At an early hour ia the morning it
was rumored that the Acadia’s acc mnts were in
by express, and subsequently it was quite con -
dently asserted that they ha I positively been re
ceived, and that they were of an unfavorable char
acter for Colton. At all evenis th< re was no dis
position to go on with purchases, at the previous
rates, and the few parties who looked into the
market at ail claimed so large a reduction that
factors chose rather to await the development of
the real character of the news than to accept the
offers made. Under these circumstances our quo
tations, though slightly reduced for the Middling
and Good Middling qualities, to conlorm more
noirly to the few sales of Wednesday and Thurs
day. are at the moment wholly nominal. The to
tal sales of the week sum up 17 000 bales of which
only 2200 bales were disposed ot during the past
three days, taken for England, the Continent, and
the North.

MOUNT EAGLE TRIPOLI.
A REMARKABLE mineral, pronounced by
geologists to be a great rarity in nature and
known to them by the name of Tripoli, has lately
been discovered in this country, although but in one
bed, of very narrow limits, all owned by the “Mount
! Eagle Manufacturing Company,” incorporated for
the sole purpose of its manufacture.
The article is excellent for burnishing and clean
ing ail finished metallic and glass surfaces, such as
gold, silver, brass, Britannia and steel ware, win
dow glass, &c. Nothing has ever yet been discov
ered equal to the pure Tripoli, and the common
j language of the consumer is, it is the best thingl
ever saw. The genuine article is for sale by the
exclusive agent for Augusta. WM. HAINES.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING~
IF is now universally admitted that the mysterious
power of Galvanism has an importanfind won
derful effect on the animal economy; in fact, the
whole Nervous or Vital System has been likened
to a Galvanic Battery, of which the Brain is the
great Centre, the Spinal Column, the connectin o,
chain, and the countless Nerves which ramify
from this important structure, the conducting wires
whereby the generated influence is brought to
every portion of the animal frame. This is not a
fanciful theory, but a positive and unquestionable
fact, which can be most conclusively demonstrate*!.
It is therefore no matter of astonishment that (lie
| new and beautiful application of this wondrous
agent, as developed by DR. CHRISTIE’S GAL
VANIC RINGS, BELTS. BRACELETS, &c.,
j should be of such vast benefit; in many of the most
i afflicting diseases to which we are subject. In the
I long train of Nervous Complaints, its effects are al
most magical, and the most severe cases of Para
j lysis, Epileptic Fits, Dyspepsia, Bronchitis, Tic Do
lorenx, Neuralgia, and many other derangements
of the nervous system, readily yield to the efficacy
ot Christie s Galvanic articles and remain per
manently cured. Severe cases, in which benefit
was unexpected, are often as completely relieved
as others.
Testimonials of the most respectable character,
and pamphlets with full descriptions, may be had
gratis of the authorized agent, or will be sent by
mail.
tU’CAUTiox.—-The great celebrity and success
ol’ Dr. Christie's Galvanic and Magnetic Curatives,
has caused them to be counterfeited by unprinci
pled persons. To protect the public against de
ception there is but ONE AuTHO RIZ E D
AGENT appointed in each town or city, from
w hom alone the Genuine articles can be procur
ed. Only Agent in Augusta
