Thut the Georgia Convention wliw-li met in Millcdgeville in December, Jilt not WIIOL LY APPROVE TIIE COMPROMISE MEASURES. But Mr. Conn says they are “FAIR, LIBERAL and JUST.” That Robert Toombs, Federal candidate for Congress in the Bth District, thinks THE SOUTH IS EXCLUDED FROM THE TERRITORIES OF UTAH AND NEW MEXICO BY THE MEXICAN LAWS IN FORCE THERE. That Howell Cobb GRANTS NO OT IT ER RESISTANCE TO AGGRAVATED WRONG, to the PEOPLE OF GEORGIA, than belongs to the SERFS OF RUSSIA ! That the RIGHT OF REVOLUTION is a 1 MOCKERY in the hands of n minority. That Mr. McDonald believes a STATE HAS A RIGHT BY VIRTUE OF HER SOVEREIGNTY, TO SECEDE FROM THE UNION, WITHOUT WAR AND BLOODSHED. That Mr. McDonald DOES NOT WISH GEORGIA TO SECEDE FOR. PAST OF FENCES, BUT TO ABIDE BY THE AC TION OF HER STATE CONVENTION. That Mr. McDonald believes the DENI AL of the RIGHT OF SECESSION CON CENTRATES AND CONSOLIDATES THE GOVERNMENT INTO AN ARIS TOCRACY OF DESPOTIC POWER. That “THIS CRY OF UNION” now made by worn-out politicians in Georgia, is a “MASKED BATTERY, behind which the RIGHTS OF THE SOUTH ARE TO BE ASSAILED,” as Mr. Toombs once said, and kis also, a HOBBY UPON WHICH FILL & Cos., lIPECT TO THE PEO PLE AND RIDE INTO POWER. That the Southern Rights Party are called Disuiiionists because they will not quietly submit to the exactions of Northern ABO LITIONISTS, and FREE SOILERS. That Mr. Cobb denies the right of secession liy giving the oppressor the power to de cide upon the justice of the cause of the op- PR9SSED. That this doctrine is even worse than the FEDERALISM of ALEXANDER HAM ILTON. That Mr. Cobb will insult the people of floorgia, if elected Governor hv calling a Con ctn(ion of the people to decide whether THEY WILL CUT THE THROATS OF THEIR BRETHREN ACROSS THE SAVAN NAH RIVER, OR NOT. That Howell Cobb voted for the Wilmot Proviso, embraced in,the Oregon Bill. That Howell Cobb, two years ago, said that the abolition of the Slave Trade in the District of Columbia, SHOULD BE RE SISTED at every liazzard!and to the last ex tremity- whereas, now . he APPROVES IT ! That Col. CHARLES H. HOPKINS, said in this City before respectable witnesses, in a public speech, that “A LA"W ONCE PASSED NEVER CAN BE REPEALED.” That Col. H. said in the same speech that he HAD ASKED TEN OR A DOZEN MEN IF THEY HAD BEEN CALLED ON TO pay a DOLLAR OF THE TEN MILL IONS GIVEN TO TEXAS, FOR A POR TION’ “OF HER TERRITORY, AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NOT BEEN ASKED TO PAY A DIME OF IT! !! That James Johnson, “Constitutional U uion” candidate for Congress in the Second District, is n FREE SOILER, and believes the odious WILMOT PROVISO to be CON STITUTIONAL !! Let THE PEOPLE ponder over these facts, judge for themselves and vote*uccor dingly. Water Spouts. —There was a magnificent display of waterspouts in Lake Eric, near San dusky. about 0 o'clock in the morning, on the “(Mil nil. Tin H'gisler of that place says : Olic of them so m and in the Lake, near the mouth of the Buy, und passing into the Bay, (plenty of water in the channel,) moved up in front of the town in most majestic style. Sev eral others appeared ia the Lake, between rhat place and Huron, and were observed with great interest by hundreds of the citizens, whose appearunce on the tops of houses tonned ofithelfan interesting feature of the scene. — The appearance of the clouds near the horizon of the South und West, during the existence of the water spouts, was pronounced the most gorgeously magnificent ever seen by the be lioldcrs. Such a cornbibatian of beauty and ssublincty is very seldom’ witnessed. -*■’ ‘ wMriit:. anti'll !!■:- Sppg Mirror ill SMBFors. sept 4 editorial of Suttirday livers of Gen.

Fire in Montgomery County, New York. — A large distillery, grist mill, and tannery, were destroyed by fire on the night of the Ist inst. Fire in Northbridge, Mass A large cot ton mill, a blacksmith’s shop, a machine shop, a barn and six dwellings (occupied by 26 fam ilies,) were destroyed on the 30th ult. Loss estimated at §85,000 —insurance §55,000. Poisoned. —A Mrs. Martin, of Alleghany city, Pennsylvania, whilst on a visit a few days since to a friend in the country, wished to have a dish of mushrooms. Some were col lected, dressed, and eaten by the family, all of whom were in a few hours seized with severe vomiting. Medical aid was culled, and every assistance rendered, but Mrs. M. died in about thirty hours after the doctor arrived. The rest are recovering. Mr. M. wiped his face with a handkerchief in which he carried the mushrooms, and had violent inflammation of one of his ryes. Another Planet Discovered. —M. Gasparis, of the observatory of Naples, has announced the discovery by him, on the 29th of July, of yet another member of that group of small planets revolving between the orbits of Mars of Jupiter. It has the appearance of a star of the ninth or tenth magnitude. This is the small planet discovered by him. SjPThree hundred ladies in the Bloomer dress were among the 3,000 abolitionists in con vention in. Stark county, Ohio, lately. 117“Mr. Cooper, the novelist, is again re ported to be very dangerously ill, with very little hope of recovery. He is in the 63d year of his age. A Suspicious Case. —An individual, wh° entered his name at the Pavilion Hotel as P- Henry, Savannah, but whose real name is believed to be P. H. Crabtree, says the Charles ton Courier of the 6th inst., was arrested yes terday morning by that efficient police officer, Schoeboe, in the engine room of the steamer Seabrook, just as she was about departing for Savannnh, on suspicion of having purloined a pocket book, containing some $423, the pro perty of Mr- H- L. Butterfield, the proprietor of the Pavilion Hotel, wherein he hnd been boarding since the 23d ult. On searching his person, $163 were found eoneeuled - in his stocking, and some fifty or six ty dollars in gold in his pocket. Among, the money found was as3 bill of an Ohio bank, which Mr. Butterfield distinctly recognizes as one he has had in his possession for upwards of a year. The accused is now in juil, awaiting his trial, which will take place at the next Full Term of the Court of Common Pleas. MR. RHETT AND GEN. QUITMAN. ■The apologists of the North, the pence-lo- Bng “Compromisers” of 1850, have endea vored to show a “holy alliance” between the Riief of the Carolina secessionists, Gov. Mc- Donald, and Gen. QOiTman. No effort oM the imagination Ims been spared in painting horrid nature of the “conspiracy” of “Ihe tiV umviratc” for the destruction of “This Union.” Barring the delicacy of the of an acknowledged “political measuring others by Mr. Cobb’s sM it seems strange to us that responsible/genttr l men should have endangered their veracity b#l making statements that would most certainl/1 be branded with falsehood, and exposed to thw| eyes of the people as a malicious slander.—-i But so it was. A “fellow feeling” which ren ders us poor mortals “wondrous kind,” ena-l bled the Federal prophets to see dangers that were gathering thickly in the pathway of the South, if the dear friends of the “nation” did not get command of the ship 1 of State. The “cohesive power of public plunder” drew them with extraordinary’ strength, into the glorifica tion of the “government of Washington!” Lo these many years had they been advocating the suicidal system of Protective Tariffs, Na tionul Banks, luternal Improvements, an! a Distribution of the Proceeds of the Sales of Public Lands, all of which measures were the peculiar interests of the North, and op pressive in their operation upon the South.— But for the sake of party, they supported all these principles with hearty good will until the people put their feet upon the neck of the hydra, and crushed it. Not a syllable do we hear now from the Fed eral press about these obsolete measures.— They wash their hands of ail connection with them. They have the same object in view in the present canvass, that they had in 1844, when their organs piped the musical notes of Clay and Frrlinghuysf.n, and now that Cobb has been converted to the Federal faith, there is a chance yet for the temporary tri umph of these resuscitated heresies, if the sovereign people will only deifiy a majority in Congress. In order to attain this object, they preach up “disunion!"’ against the Southern State Rights party. To sustain their position they go into a disquisition on the subject of “bu gles,” to prove that, the instruments now in the service of McDonald and Quitman are from the same shop as that which is now playing disunion changes in South Carolina. If this were true, there is some consolation in the fact that even ihe music of such a “bugle,” is pref erable to the Consolidation orgies pealed forth through a shattered, shivered, and musicless Cobb. Mr. Rhktt’s endorsement of the Southern Rights candidate-for Governor, is the pretence under whicl.Ythey make the cho'"” of Mr\Cobß% admits that McDonald if not . Disunionist, and the Governor’s assertion to the same effect. The following letter will show how far the Federal presses are to be believed. It is from a man who does not shrink from un avowal of his opinions: “Summerville, Aug. 23, ’sl. Dr. W. Q. Poindexter, Present: —ln my hurried canvass, 1 have had only leisure to read hastily the ‘Union Beacon, Extra,’ con taining a letter purporting to be written by a Mr. James A. Lewis, of South Carolina, to Dr. Robert D. Brown, in which it is stated that I am urging the secession leaders of South Carolina by all means to keep that State up to the rack, to make her secede ; and that al though Mississippi is not ready for secession herself, and it will not do for him (me) to take this stand, yet if South Carolina will only bring on the issue, he (I) will maintain her. This statement is not true. Since my nomina tion for Governor, I have no recollection of having ever written a letter to Carolina. Be fore my nomination, in answer to some inqui ries made by several gentlemen of that State, I endeavored to present the issues which were involved in our canvass, and I may have ex pressed the wish that South Carolina would not recede from the position she has assumed, and my hope and expectation that Mississippi would maintain the position of resistance she had taken. I have ever said, and say now, that I main tain the right of a sovereign State to secede, and should South Carolina or any other State secede, I am opposed to the use of coercive measures on the part of the Federal Govern ment to force her into the Union; and I believe that Mississippi will maintain this as her doc trine ; but I have never undertaken to speak for her, nor to pledge her to any course of ac tion. J. A. QUITMAN.” Now, if we believed that, the Federal pa pers were disposed to do us justice, we should expect tosec Gen. Quitman set aright before their readers. But we shall not. We should os soon expect the Spanish tyrant to deal mer cifully with the Cuban captives, as to sec the brave advocate of Southern Rights in Missis sippi exonerated from a false cliurgc by the Federalists. No ; the policy of their press is to charge, with or without evidence—if it is proven false, stick to it, swear the harder; the end sanctifies the means, anyhow, and all shall be well if the portly form of Howell gets into the Governor’s chair. P. S. Since writing the above, we find in the Charleston Standard, the following letter from Mr. Rsiett, denying the statements of certain persons, as to his connection with Gen. Quitman : “ Messrs. Editors —A friend has called my attention to-a letter published in your paper of this morning,, from a Mr. James A. Lewis of til- State, written to u Dr. Robert D. Brown in Mississippi, in which it is asserted, - “that Gen. Quitman had written letters to S. (Jarolina, urging them (the secessionists) to Wp South’ Carolina up to the rack—to make lß"ecede; and although Mississippi is not Hi, A for Secession herself, anffilt will not do El ,tn to take this stand, yet if South Cnro- H Avill only bring on the rsstie, he will sus ■Mher,” and that • Rhett in his speech near on the 4th of July, stated that Quit- BP herd written thus to him.’ Ifchttve never received from Gen. Quitman, BB am aware of, any letter on any subject ■fjßcver, in my life, nor have I spoken of on the authority of any letter i|H him. In reply to the assertions, that all of the South desired South Car (Hto submit to the past aggressions of the (lenerul Government, by co-operating with the Southern States which had'submitted to 1 them. I have stated that Gen. Quitman', in iny opinion, was not in favor of this policy— aud! have represented his policy to be pretty much as he has laid it down in his letter of the 23d of August, to Dr. W. Q. Poindexter, pub lished in your morning’s paper. As to Mis- STSSippiffeceding with South Carolina from the Union, I distinctly declared in a published speech of April last, that I deemed such a re sult quite out of the question, for reasons I then assigned at large. Your obedient servant, R. B. RHETT. September 5, 1851.” [From the N. O. Price Current, Ist inst.] COTTON—REMARKS. ******** The total receipts at this port since Ist Sept, last, from all sources, are 995,036 bales. This amount includes 44,816 bales from Mobile atd Florida, and from Texas by sea ; and this bring deducted our receipts proper are shown to be 950,220 bales, in which are included 18,- Otl bales received direct from Mnntgomery, Ac., Alabama. This then, would show an in crease in our receipts proper, as compared with last year upon the same basis, of 152,833 bales. The total exports since Ist September, are 9f7,458 bales, of which 582,373 bales were sipped to Great Britain, 130,362 to France, m,906 to the North and South of Europe, Mexico, Ac., and 152,817 to United States parts. On a comparison of the exports with t |)se of last year, there would appear to be an irprease of 185,628 bales to Great Britain, 12,- 949 to France. 21,760 to the North and South o’ Europe, Mexico, Ac., while to United Spates ports, there is a decrease of 61,026 The total receipts at all the Atlantic aid Gulf ports, up to the latest dates received —as shown by our General Cotton Table—are 2131,464 bales, and the crop, when made up Ne wYork Shipping List, will probably rw e nave thus rupidly sketched the course on the market during a season of extraordinary vicissitudes, and such a one we hope never to witness again. In glancing at the peculiarities of the season, it may be safely remarked that its prominent feature (and, as the sequel has proven its prominent error) has been an under es timate of the production. This,as we have alrea dy intimated led to the opening of the market at ukfortuhately high prices, which under specu lative action were subsequently carried to a higher point than they have reached since 1839. These under estimates were to a great ejjor less extent general, and we think it may s.Jfely be asserted that a large majority placed t’|e crop at or under 2,200,000 bales, while the bulk of the business, during the first six pr seven months of the season, was done upon a basis of 2,100,000 bales. The estimate of very few parties were beyond what the actual crop is likely to be, and these were looked upon as so extravagant that their opinions provoked dis cussion and animadversion to a degree that has given them wide-spread notoriety. And thus is added another to the many examples of the fallacy of early estimates of a crop w-hose cul ture occupies so broad an extent of country> embracing nearly every variety of soil and climate, and requiring many months to deter mine definitely the result. The error has been followed by most disastrous consequence, but that those who fall into it (and they embrace planters, factors and purchasers,) were honest in their opinions, their own losses should be ta ken to demonstrate. In viewing the cause of this astonishing re action the leading ones, of course, are the un der estimates of the crop, and the consequent elevation of prices to what has proved to have been an extravagant point. But as a collate ral one, growing out of these, we may men tion that the entire or partial stoppage of ma. ny of our home mills, owing to the high prices of the raw material, and excessive stocks of manufactured articles on hand, threw an un due portion of the supply upon the European markets. Thus Great Britain alone has not only taken the whole excess of our receipts over those of last year, but nearly 100,000 halos more, that with moderate prices, would have been consumed in the U. States. ToGreat Britain, therefore, the crop has been equal to one of about 2,450,000 bales, while at the same time there has been a material increase in her I imports from Brazil, Egypt aud the East In- I dies. And besides this ample present supply, ! large estimates of our coming crops ure indulg ed, which have hud a market influence in the j depression of prices. Thus once more the spin ners gain the ascendency, and for weeks panic, which loses sight of the laws of supply and de mand, seems to reign in the Liverpool mar ket. It is gratifying, however, to observe that notwithstanding the prevalence of com paratively high prices during n great portion of the first six months of the current year, the amount taken-for consumption in Great Brit, ain slightly exceeds the amount taken Ibr the same purpose during a similar period last year; and by the Inst accounts tlife weekly average had reached 33,000'bales; the highest ratio of consumption yet attained in the history of the Cotton manufacture. The following table ex hibits the imports, delivery stock, Ac., in the whole of Great Britain, for the first six months, ended on the 30th June last, and a comparison with the same period in 1850. 1851. 1850.

With regard to the market prospects for the coming crop, we think they may be said to be fair for ready sales, at moderate prices. In Great Britain, particularly, all the leading ele ments of an active and prosperous trade would seem to be in combination, viz : low stocks of goods, and of raw material, in the hands ol the manufacturers, cheap food, abundance of mo ney, and the world at peace. Already the ra tio of consumption is greater than ever before attained, and even a further increase is not im probable. In our own country, too, there will soon, doubtless, be renewed activity, as the stocks of goods, which for a long time have been excessive, are much reduced, and the manufacturers arc understood to be without any considerable stocks of the raw material. Altogether the prospects would seem to be fa vorable for fair returns to the planter, even with a large crop, and the chances are that the relation of consumption to supply will be such as to leave the leading markets without exces sive stocks at the close of the season. The first bale of the new crop was received hereon the 25th July, being seventeen days earlier than the first receipt of last year, and the total receipts of new crop ujji to this date, 3155 bales, against 67 bales last/year. Ofttti#. quantity there have been sales Deported to the extent of about 2400 bales, at a'range of 8 a 8J cents for Middling and 84 a 9 ciyits for Good Middling to Middling Fair, aBI the market closes with a total stock, inelugra; all on’ stnp board not cleared, of 14,890 balks, of which a bout 11,000 bales are in factors’ bands, em bracing some 10,000 bales of oljl crop, held un der limits. SUGAR. * * According to the statement of Mr. P. A. Champomier, the crop of 1850-51 amount ed to 211,203 hogsheads, weighing 231,194,000 pounds. Os this quantity 184,372 hhds. are stated to be brown Sugar, made by the old process, and 26,831 hhds refined, clarified, &c including cistern bottoms ; and the whole is the product of 1495 sugar houses, of which 907 have steam aud 588 have horse power. The falling off in the crop, as compared with that of the previous year, is 25,720 hhds., or 38,- 575,000 pounds. The stock estimated to be on hand at the close of last year was 2000 hhds. and this quan tity being added to the crop, as above stated makes a supply, in round numbers, of 213,000 hhds. As nearly as can be ascertained the distribution of the supply has been as follows : shipments out of the State, by sea, (including an estimate of 10,000 hhds for the exports from Attakapas) 57,000 hbds.; consumption of the city and neighborhood 15,000 hhds.; taken for refining in the city and State, including cistern bottoms, 15,000 hhds.; stock now on hand in the State, estimated at 22,000 hhds.; leaving as the quantity taken for the West 123,800 hhds. The quantity shipped to Atlantic ports is about 45,000 hhds. against 90,000 last year. * * * The market has been character ized by great steadiness, while the average pri ces have been considerably above that of last year. The ruling rates on plantations in Jan. und Feb. were 4J a 54, in March 4} a 58, in Aprils a 54,in May 54 a 53, and in June,when nearly all had passed out of planters’ hands, 5 7-16 asi cents per lb. The deficiency in the Louisiana crop lias led to increased imports of Foreign Sugars, and thus we have from Cuba 451 hhds and 39,293 boxes, against 397 hhds and 18,843 boxes last year. We have also an import from Brazil of 1334 boxes of 1800 lbs each ; the first ever received at this port, but to be followed, we understand, by several other cargoes. Besides the Louisiana crop, there were produced last year in Texas about 6,000 and in Florida about 1500 hhds. With respect to the growing crop, wc have but a few remarks to offer, it being too early in the season to orrivo at any thing definite regarding its probable extent. It is understood that the severe frosts of November lust, cut short the supply of plant enne, and thus some what circumscribed the cultivation, while the cold spring, and the subsequent long drought, were unfavorable to the progress of the plunt, particularly in the upper parishes. Within the past few weeks, however, frequent show ers of rain have fallen, anti the crops in most sections are said topresent a marked improvc- ment. The result, however, cannot be deter mined for many weeks to come, and we shall close these remarks by referring to the annexe# table, which gives the product of each yea t . since 1828 Crop of 1828', 88,000 hhds. “ 1829, 48,000 “ “ 1832, 70,000 “ “ 1833, 75,000 * “ 1834, 100,000 ,r 1835, 30,000 ‘V “ 1836, 70,000 “ “ 1837, 65,000 “ •• 1838, 70,000 “ “ 1839, 115,000 “ •• 1840, 87,000 “ “ 1841, 9ff,oDo’ “ “ 1842, 140,000 “ 1843, 100,000 “ 1844, 200,000 “ 1845, 186,650 “ 1846, 140,000 “ 1847, 240,000 “ “ 1848, 220,000 “ “ 1849, 247,923 *’ “ 1850, 211,203 “ From the best available data, it would ap-’ pear that, (estimating the product of 1 inaphT Sugar at 50,000,000)- the present of the tlnited States is about 550,000,000 lbs.” —equal to twenty-five pounds for each indi vidual of our population. Os this quantity, Louisiana and Texas, with their present extent of cultivation, and an average product, can’ furnish fully 300,000,000 lbs. Besides the Sugar, there were imported into the United States, in 1849-50, from Foreign countries, 25,000,000 gallons Molasses, and the product of Louisiana for the same season was 12,000,- 000 gallons. MOLASSES. According to the statement of Mr. P. A. Champomier, the product of Molasses from the last cane crop, estimating 50 gallons for every 1000 pounds of Sugar, was 10,500,000 gallons or 1,500,000 gallons less than the product of the previous year. This deficient supply has been productive of a higher average of prices than has been attained for several years past, as will be seen by the following table, which exhibits the highest and lowest point in each month, for sales on the levee, in barrels : Highest.
