TJiei'e are two men of my aequain
tanei, nfneariy the same age, properly,
uud standing in society, one of whom is
a man of Feeling, and llte other.', man ol
Sentiment. Sentiment is rather a more
gifted iiiun than Feeling, writes ami talks
well, and on no subject does he write or
speak r.o ollen and so well, us cn the du
ly of doing good to each other. Feeling
never wrote a paragraph in the tiewspa
pers, nor spoke where ten people could
hear him; hut there is not a cellar or e
garret in Broad-street, that hi; lias not
been into, ami there arc hundreds of peo
ple that pray for him e\ery day of their
lives. .Sentiment is the admi atioii of ids
acquaintances; Feeling, the delight of his
friends. No heller illustration can be
given of the difference between them,

L\W.
James Rossic.nol, Esq. of this city, was ad
mitted. on Monday last, by the Supreme Court,
lo plead and practice in the several Courts of
Law in tills Slate.
JUDICIAL WIT.
A case was called in our Superior Court, on
Monday last, when, one of the counsel being ab
sent (pone, as was supposed, to offer bis devo
tions at the shrine of Hymen,) another of the
counsel mentioned bis absence, and snggested
that the case sliou'd therefore be laid over. Tbo
Judge (who understood it to have been said,
that the absence was caused by indisposition,)
replied, that inasmuch as Col. was indis
[Kised, the case might bo passed: coun
sellor observed, that lie could not say that
Col. was absent from indisposition, unless
a tendency to matrimony might be considered as
a disease. “Ob certainly not (said the Judge,
veiy promptly,) and one might rather expect
that such a tendency would incline him to
Court."
COTTON MARKETS.
By the arrival of the Ur. barque'George Wil
kinson, at Charleston, we have ad vices bum Eu
rope to the 3d ult.
The Live,pool Cotton maiket remained in the
same dull slate, as noticed in our f .finer report,
and as tbo advices received there,at that period,
t orn this country, represented the growth of
Colton in tbo United Slates, in 1831, to have
been at least 1,100,000 bales, with an excess oC
tbu old c.op, in ibis conntry, compare with
the Slock of the previous year, on the Ist of Get.
of about 100,00(1 bales, there was little, if any
prospect, of an immediate improvement in pri
ces.
Holders of Cotton manifested a disposition to
press sales, and lbe consequence was, that in
some instances, a reduction of an £d was sub
milted to. The sales of the week weio 14,360
bales—lmports 9,640.
Tbu im, oiisof Cotton into Liverpool, f.om the
Ist Jan., 1831, lo Ist Dec., were 750,000 bales,
against 730,000 during the same ~e.iod the pre
vious season. Os American Colton, there ap-'
pears lo have been no difference in the imports
during the first eleven months of each year, be
ing 037,000 bales. It is probable that the im
ports of Cotton into Liverpool, during the month
ol Doc. 1831, were considerably less than dur
ing the corresponding month of tbo previous
year.
The Cholera was extending in England; 14
new casus were reported in Sunderland, and 3
in NcwCastle, on the 28ihNov.
The advices from Havre, of 2.1 ult. represent
Cotton us being rather ou the decline. —We give
the following extract of a letter, dated Dec. Ist:
“Our p. esent Slock is reduced to 14,000 bales,
but prices have declined, during the last two
days, I to Ij centimes, on United Stales 'short
slu lo.”
Advices from New York continue unfivu.ta
ble for shi; ments of Cotton to that market, tbo l
the slock is re. resented as being light, ami but
few choice parcels fur sale. Quotations of the
new crop, 8a 10 els., dull.
Sftice the receipt of the lalo advices from Eu
lope.lbo Charleston end Savannah Cotton mar
kels have been dull, but without producing tiny
essu» ; ial change in prices. Tne quotations are
8,; a in both markets. Shipping has become
more plenty, and it is probable'Fi eights will de
cline a little. Tins may produce activity in those
markets, in a few days.
Our advices from Mobile are to the 22d inst.
The receipts of Cotton into that market, since
the Ist Oct., bad been 35,305 bales. A decline
bad taken (dace in Colton, of ,J n i cent, per
lb., and the maiket was dull at the quotations, 7
a 9j
The receipts of Cotton into onr market, iTur
ing the week, have been considerably linger
than for many weeks previous. And the gales
have been respectable, cones, ending with our

RICHMOND SUPERIOR COURT.
Our Supremo Court is still sitting, this being

out adjourning for dinner, and longer occasion
ally, as the cases unfinished at the latter hour
required it, bis Honor bas succeeded in calling,
and trying, crery case on the Dockets, not dis
missed or laid over by the parties, according to
tbo proper forms oflavv—thus giving every suit
or, under duo regard to the rights of the oppo
site party, an opportunity of tryiug his cause
&■ of obtaining justice —a result wbichjluts never
before occurred within our memory, or proba
bly that of any member of our. Bar. And in
attaining this end, wo undeistand be lias sat, iu
one instance, nearly thirteen hours together,
without the lea t sustenance.—lt is well known
that we have never entertained partiality for
Judge Holt either cs a politician or 8 Judge— 1
'hough we have always highly respected him as
a gentleman) in private life -and we still honest
ly retain the same ('reference for his predocos
sor.and lute opponent, openly expressed both be
fore and at the election—but this shall never in
duce us to vvilhliold'from him, that justice which
is due to him and every one else, despite of all
our own and other's individual preferences or
opinions. And, when we relied u on the se
quent distressing consequences of delays of jus

if not refilsal, of it—and the great individual in

arising from the attendance of suitors and wit

and results ot the example set by tbo Judge an
example which cannot well be disregarded or
unimitated hereafter, either by himself or any
one else we cannot ref.ain from awarding to
it the highest praise, as a solid and substantial
benefit to the community.—This is but justice—
that justice which we desire to extend lo every
man—and whatever may ho our individual or
jiaily pieferences or opinions, wo trust they will
never render us insensible lo the errors of our

tho other. And if they ever should, we shall be
at once unworthy of our profession and the con
fidence of the | üblie, the honest mui intelligent
poition of which, we arc sensible, care nothing,
and should not, for the opinions wo express, far
ther than for the intrinsic matter of the opinions
themselves, without reference to the pc.son

DUEL.
A fiend iu Columbus writes us, under date
of tho 23rd inst. “A duel took place today, at
Fort Mitchell, at hall past eleven o’clock, be
tween Maj. Camp, end Gen. Woolfolk, bmh of
this place, which terminated in the death of the
latter. Thu former received a wound, but (
believe not a dangerous one. The mail closes
directly,and I have not time to give particulu: s.”
Since writing the above, a gcnticiHxn of this
city handed us the following extract of a letter on
this subject,received from a friend in Columbus.
“Onyesterday,(23d inst.) I witnessed ijio du
el between Maj. Cam” and Gen. Woolfolk.
They had hut one ihut, cueh. Gen. Woolfolk
shot first, and Ins ball passed through tho liesh of
Maj. C. an inch above the navel. Tho wound,
by many,is 1 bought slight, but Ids su, geon thinks
it dangerous After Maj. Camp received the
wound, lie shut Gen. Wooifolk. His ball passed
through W. above the heart. Woolfolk walked
seven steps towards tbo crowd of spectators,&
said ‘he has killed me.” The blood gushed out
of bis mouth; bo viewed it attentively —laid him
self upon the ground, and expired immediately,
without having again spoken.”
A RUM CANDIDATE.
\V ti find Hie following precious announcement
in the “ Isifayelle Frcc-Prcss,” published in La
fayette, Indiana; from wh eh one might suppose,
that the “Independent rulers ” oflmliana,judge of
the merits mid qualifications of iheir candidates
by lire quantity of HUM they “roll out”—believ
ing, doubtless, that Athas lire most sense him
self, who has tho strongest disposition lo nj,.k«
fools and brutes ofolbcrs, and the most menus of
effecting it—or else, that the editor, who is an 1
Anti-Jackson man, published it, very significant- I
ly and properly, as the best mode of disgracing !
the “Jackson candidate,” and defeating his
election. Surely (hopeople of Indiana
so besotted, so lost to decency and self-respect,
as lo give their suffrages only to men who thus
openly minister to then disgrace and then own—
ap| euling to their beastly propensities, lather
than to their virtue and intelligence, as men, and
freemen.
“Mr. Sfma.ns—You are authorized te an
nounce RtuifF.N Putnam as the JACKSON can
didate lor comity Recorder: And moreover,
I bat, 1 will roll out a Barrel of RUM on tbu
dav of election. Respectfully,
REUBEN PUI if vM.
Lafayette, Dec. 23, 1831.”
W i would recommend to the consideration of •
Ibo editor of the Lafayette Free I*, ess, the
“Jackson candidate,” and the people of Indiana,
the following proceedings of the Quarterly
Conference for Spaita Ci-cuil, held at Green’s
Veeting House, on the 17th till, which we
copy from the Hancock Advertiser:
“Whereas, the practice of (Ja did,ales for ' la
ces in the gift of tiio prople, tie. ...g to nroinrito
their election, is an evil (w« believe of no or
dinaiy magnitude, producing n denior .-izing ef
fect on society generally, and rendo.ng the
candidates themselves unworllir lo be li: i rep
resentatives of a civilized, much more of a
Christian people; a practice illegal in itself, and
altogether contrary lo the princij les of Christi
anity, and the Republican institutions of onr
country: and, whereas, it is believed that this
alarming evil cat; only be cheeked by tbo united
efforts of the temperate and patiiotic generally,
and of tbs followers of our Lord Jesus Christ
particularly ; therefore,
“Resulted, That lintoafior we will cot support
any man, for any post or placn, at an election,
who shall be guilty of the practice of treating, nr
using any other unlawful means to pioinoic his
election.
“ Resulted, That the Rev. James L. Daniel,
the Rev. Wienjah Thomas and Joseph Baldwin,
be a Committee lo correspond with
tbo Churches of other denominations within the
bounds of this Circuit, to communicate to them
the above preamble and resolutions, and ask
their co-operation iu putting away so manifest
an evil from amongst us.”
Wc learn (and sre requested to publish the
fact) that two of our citizens have sent to New
York by a judicious agent, lo bring on to this
place, one of tlie Arabian horses lately imported
by Mr. Rhind, with a view of improving the
blood & quality of our race of horses. Tim horse
is expected hero by the first of March. Editors
of papers throughout this State will likely serve
a good object, by copying this notice.

FROM THK CHIRLESTON MKBCUftr.
The annual celebration of the Columbia Ty
pographical Society look place recently at Wash
ington. Several members of Congress, editors
of (tapers, See. attended by invitation. We have
been struck with the following part of Mr. Ver
pbmek’s speech, in which nn entertaining refer
ence is made to Dr. Franklin’s Chapel, | robahly
new to many of onr readeis, anti an incident re
lated of a compositor, not more honorable lo tho
individual alluded to, than interesting in itself,
and calculated to excite Ihe industry and awaken
llte ambition of the craft:
“Amongst the earliest recollections of my
boyish days, lie said, were tho amusing and in
structive incidents of the early life of Benjamin
1 franklin, as related by himself; and one of the
laanb i
circumstances which most struck and excited
my boyish imagimition in that beautiful narra'-
live, was that of hi* calling the office in which lie
wo:ked in London, a Chapel, acoo-ding to tlie
traditionary please of English printers. p j s u
term that h,is gone much mil of use. I have since
learnt, on this side of the Atlantic. In this
Chapel, however, about which, our great philo.
sopher and patriot printer fust excited rny <u.
riosity, it has been the (in tunc, 1 think the good
fortune, of my life, to have since passed many
ho.ns. These were hou s which 1 sometimes
used to Balter myself might he useful to others

very f c prently struck wiih the general liiiclli.
gence and info motion of the craft; and 1 was
often delighted with the native talent, the lito
raiy nc.prircineni, the liberal principles, and the
ardent minds of many of them with whom I
there became uc juainte'd. 1 there made many
ac piaintanecs amongst your fiaternity, v.hom I
shall always r ememher with resjiect and kind
ness, and not u few friends whom I hortor (l iid
esteem. I h ive received amongst thorn the best
offices, as a friend—(nor can 1 forget it,) aid
suggestions, co reelions, us an author. Uae in'-
stance of litis occurs to me at this moment, arid
tire time and occasion will not allow me to
it over. 1w as engaged some years ago in a mis,
cellaneous literary .<ok, in conjunction with
two or llr.ee fiiends,whose w ritings are amongst
the most valued productions ofnative lileraUne,
The volumes wore most atscu nlely, as well as
very beautifully printed, iiefore the sheets had
reaehe'rl the hinder, arid long befice they had
fallen under the eves Ol any regular edtlo i:d
critic, 1 w’as surprised with a review of t] l6
work in one of our hesluird most widely ein u
later! literary joumils. It was written whir
g eat talent, as well as elegance and sornrhili
ness of style, and in the most frienuly On
ineniring for the name of our good nalured and
able critic, the aulho s were surprised to lea-u
that he was the compositor who bail set n , tbs
whole of the munuscipt, and who knew it only
in that way. Our fj lend has since laid down lire
slick fur the j err, ami is now, as I turst, winning
his way to fame and fortune, in another country.
Although I single out this instance, ! mention
it not as a singula; one, but merely us an exam
lie of otiu amongst many singular.
Hot to return to the idea with which I hog an,
. It was llio.e, anil in such company, that 1 lea.in
to give irs due import to F.unklin’s te.m of the
Chapel, which, if it has become obsolete in ma
ny parts ofoui country, ongi.t not to be so,
I there learnt, amongst printers, and [■■■esses
and forms, whit eve y day’s observation ofniy
life out of doois eontl;mod to me, that this was
indeed a Chapel—not of a fabulous deity or P a
